LT5538 40MHz to 3.8GHz RF Power Detector with 75dB Dynamic Range
FEATURES DESCRIPTION
■ Frequency Range: 40MHz to 3.8GHz The LT®5538 is a 40MHz to 3800MHz monolithic logarith- ■
75dB
Log
Linear Dynamic Range mic RF power detector, capable of measuring RF signals ■
Exceptional Accuracy over Temperature over a wide dynamic range, from –75dBm to 10dBm. The ■
Linear DC Output vs. Input Power in dBm RF signal in an equivalent decibel-scaled value is precisely ■
–72dBm Detection Sensitivity converted into DC voltage on a linear scale. The wide linear ■
Single-ended RF Input dynamic range is achieved by measuring the RF signal us- ■
Low Supply Current: 29mA ing cascaded RF limiters and RF detectors. Their outputs ■
Supply Voltage: 3V to 5.25V are summed to generate an accurate linear DC voltage ■
8-lead DFN 3mm × 3mm package proportional to the input RF signal in dBm. The LT5538 delivers superior temperature stable output (within ±1dB
APPLICATIONS
over full temperature range) from 40MHz to 3.8GHz. The output is buffered with a low impedance driver. ■ Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) , LT, LTC and LTM are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation. ■ RF Power Measurement and Control All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners. ■ RF/IF Power Detection ■ Receiver RF/IF Gain Control ■ Envelope Detection ■ ASK Receiver
