LTC5508 300MHz to 7GHz RF Power Detector with Buffered Output in SC70 Package UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ Temperature Compensated Internal Schottky The LTC®5508 is an RF power detector for RF applications Diode RF Detector operating in the 300MHz to 7GHz range. A temperature ■ Wide Input Frequency Range: 300MHz to 7GHz compensated Schottky diode peak detector and buffer ■ Wide Input Power Range: –32dBm to 12dBm amplifier are combined in a small SC70 package. The ■ Buffered Detector Output supply voltage range is optimized for operation from a ■ Wide VCC Range of 2.7V to 6V single lithium-ion cell or 3xNiMH. ■ Low Operating Current: 550µA The RF input voltage is peak detected using an on-chip ■ Low Shutdown Current: <2µA Schottky diode. The detected voltage is buffered and ■ SC70 Package supplied to the VOUT pin. A power saving shutdown mode U reduces supply current to less than 2µA. APPLICATIO S The LTC5508 operates with input power levels from ■ 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.15 –32dBm to 12dBm. ■ Multimode Mobile Phone Products ■ Optical Data Links , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation. ■ Wireless Data Modems ■ Wireless and Cable Infrastructure ■ RF Power Alarm ■ Envelope Detector UTYPICAL APPLICATIOOutput Voltage vs RF Input Power 10000 VCC = 3.6V TA = 25°C 300MHz to 7GHz RF Power Detector 33pF LTC5508 6 RF 4 1000 V RF CC V IN CC INPUT 2GHz 7GHz 2 5 100pF 0.1µF GND GND OUTPUT VOLTAGE (mV) 1GHz 6GHz 1 4GHz 3 V OUT DISABLE ENABLE SHDN OUT V V OUT 5508 TA01 100 –32 –28 –24 –20 –16 –12 –8 –4 0 4 8 12 RF INPUT POWER (dBm) 5508 TA02 5508fa 1
