The LTC
®
5505-X is an RF power detector for RF applica-
tions operating in the 300MHz to 3.5GHz range. A tem-
perature compensated Schottky diode peak detector and
buffer amplifier are combined in a small 5-pin ThinSOT
package. The supply voltage range is optimized for opera-
tion 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 V
OUT
pin. A power saving shutdown mode
reduces supply current to less than 2µA.
The LTC5505-1 operates with input power levels from
–28dBm to 18dBm. The LTC5505-2 operates with input
power levels from –32dBm to 12dBm.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating temperature
range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with
statistical process controls.
Note 3:
The rise time at V
OUT
is measured between 0.5V and 1.5V.
Note 4:
Bandwidth is calculated using the 10% to 90% rise time equation:
BW = 0.35/rise time.
Note 5:
RF performance is tested at:
1800MHz, 14dBm, –14dBm (LTC5505-1)
1800MHz, 12dBm, –14dBm (LTC5505-2)
Note 6:
For input RF power levels >16dBm, V
CC
minimum is 3V and an RF
input series resistor of 20Ω is required to limit the input current.
Note 7:
Guaranteed by design.

(Pin 1):
RF Input Voltage. Referenced to V
CC
. An
external coupling capacitor to the RF source is required.
The frequency range is 300MHz to 3GHz. This pin has an
internal 250Ω termination, an internal Schottky diode
detector and peak detector capacitor. (See Note 6 in the
Electrical Characteristics.)
GND (Pin 2):
System Ground.
SHDN (Pin 3):
Shutdown Input. A logic low on the SHDN
pin places the part in shutdown mode. A logic high enables
the part. SHDN has an internal 150k pull down resistor to
ensure that the part is in shutdown when the drivers are in
a tri-state condition.
