LTC5531 Precision 300MHz to 7GHz RF Detector with Shutdown and Offset Adjustment UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ Temperature Compensated Internal Schottky The LTC®5531 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 10dBm amplifier are combined in a small ThinSOTTM package. The ■ Buffered Detector Output supply voltage range is optimized for operation from a ■ Precision VOUT Offset Control single lithium-ion cell or 3xNiMH. ■ Wide VCC Range of 2.7V to 6V The RF input voltage is peak detected using an on-chip ■ Low Operating Current: 500µA Schottky diode. The detected voltage is buffered and ■ Low Shutdown Current: <2µA supplied to the V ■ Available in a Low Profile (1mm) SOT-23 Package OUT pin. A power saving shutdown mode reduces current to less than 2µA. The initial offset voltage U of 120mV ±35mV can be precisely adjusted using the APPLICATIO S VOS pin. ■ 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.15, 802.16 The LTC5531 operates with input power levels from ■ Multimode Mobile Phone Products –32dBm to 10dBm. ■ Optical Data Links , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation. ■ Wireless Data Modems ThinSOT is a trademark of Linear Technology Corporation. * Higher frequency operation is achievable with reduced performance.
