LT5537 Wide Dynamic Range RF/IF Log Detector UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ Low Frequency to 1000MHz Operation The LT®5537 is a wide dynamic range RF/IF detector, ■ 83dB Dynamic Range with ± 1dB Nonlinearity operational from below 10MHz to 1000MHz. The lower at 200MHz limit of the operating frequency range can be extended to ■ Sensitivity –76dBm or Better at 200MHz near DC by the use of an external capacitor. The input ■ Log-Linear Transfer Slope of 20mV/dB dynamic range at 200MHz with ±3dB nonlinearity is 90dB ■ Supply Voltage Range: 2.7V to 5.25V (from –76dBm to 14dBm, single-ended 50Ω input). The ■ Supply Current: 13.5mA at 3V detector output voltage slope is nominally 20mV/dB, and ■ Tiny 8-Lead (3mm × 2mm) DFN Package the typical temperature coefficient is 0.01dB/°C at 200MHz.
