Single Supply of +2.7 V to +6.5 V at 16 mA Typical
Fully Differential Inputs, RIN = 1 k⍀, CIN = 2.5 pF
500 ns Power-Up Time, 4.5 V. For frequencies
in the range 10 MHz to 200 MHz these high drive levels are
easily achieved using a matching network (see later). Using such
a network, having an inductor at the input, the input transient is
eliminated. The supply current for all sections except the limiter output
stage, and with no load attached to the RSSI output, is nominally 16 mA at TA = 27°C, substantially independent of supply
voltage. It varies in direct proportion to the absolute temperature (PTAT). The RSSI load current is simply the voltage at
VLOG divided by the load resistance (e.g., 2.4 mA max in a
1 kΩ load). The limiter supply current is 1.1 times that flowing …
