LTC5536 600MHz to 7GHz Precision RF Detector with Fast Comparator Output UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ Temperature Compensated Internal Schottky The LTC®5536 is an RF power detector for RF applications Diode RF Detector operating in the 600MHz to 7GHz range. A temperature ■ Wide Input Frequency Range: 600MHz to 7GHz* compensated Schottky diode peak detector and fast com- ■ Wide Input Power Range: –26dBm to 12dBm parator are combined in a small ThinSOTTM package. The ■ Fast Comparator Output with Latch Enable supply voltage range is optimized for operation from a ■ 25ns Response Time with 0dBm RF Input Level single cell lithium-ion or three cell NiMH battery. ■ Rail-to-Rail Output Swing The RF input voltage is peak detected using an on-chip ■ Comparator Output Current: ± 20mA Schottky diode. The detected voltage is compared against ■ Wide VCC Range of 2.7V to 5.5V a reference voltage at V ■ Low Operating Current: 2mA M. ■ Available in a Low Profile (1mm) SOT-23 Package The response time from the RF input to VOUT can be as little U as 20ns. The comparator output is latched when LEN is APPLICATIO S high or is transparent when LEN is low. ■ RF Signal Presence Detectors for: The LTC5536 operates with RF input power levels from 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.15 –26dBm to 12dBm.
