DescripTion
The LTC
®
5582 is a 40MHz to 10GHz RMS responding power
detector. It is capable of accurate power measurement
of an AC signal with wide dynamic range, from –60dBm
to 2dBm depending on frequency. The power of the AC
signal in an equivalent decibel-scaled value is precisely
converted into DC voltage on a linear scale, independent of
the crest factor of the input signal waveforms. The LTC5582
is suitable for precision RF power measurement and level
control for a wide variety of RF standards, including LTE,
WiMAX, W-CDMA, CDMA2000, TD-SCDMA, and EDGE.
The DC output is buffered with a low output impedance
amplifier capable of driving a high capacitance load. Con-
sult factory for more information. The part is packaged in
a 10-lead 3mm
×
3mm DFN. It is pin-to-pin compatible
with the LT5570.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTC5582 is guaranteed functional over the temperature range
–40°C to 85°C.

Note 4:
Operation over a wider frequency range is possible with reduced
performance. Consult the factory for information and assistance.
Note 5:
The linearity error is calculated by the difference between the
incremental slope of the output and the average output slope from
–50dBm to –5dBm. The dynamic range is defined as the range over which
the linearity error is within ±1dB.
