Linear Technology LTC5509
300MHz to 3GHz 300MHz RF Power Detector in SC70 Package
FEATURES
s s s s s s s s DESCRIPTIO Temperature Compensated Internal Schottky Diode RF Detector Wide Input Frequency Range: 300MHz to 3GHz Wide Input Power Range: –30dBm to 6dBm Buffered Detector Output Wide VCC Range of 2.7V to 6V Low Operating Current: 600µA Low Shutdown Current: <2µA SC70 Package The LTC®5509 is an RF power detector for RF applications operating in the 300MHz to 3GHz range. A temperature compensated Schottky diode peak detector and buffer amplifier are combined in a small SC70 package. The supply voltage range is optimized for operation from a single lithium-ion cell or 3xNiMH. The RF input voltage is peak detected using an on-chip Schottky diode. The detected voltage is buffered and supplied to the VOUT pin without gain compression. Consequently, the output voltage is linearly proportional to the RF input voltage. A power saving shutdown mode reduces supply current to less than 2µA. The LTC5509 operates with input power levels from –30dBm to 6dBm. , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
