LT5570
Fast Responding, 40MHz
to 2.7GHz Mean-Squared
Power Detector
DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
5570 is a 40MHz to 2.7GHz monolithic Logarithmic
Mean-Squared RF power detector. It is capable of RMS
measurement of an AC signal with wide dynamic range,
from –52dBm to 13dBm 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 waveforms. The
LT5570 is suitable for precision RF power measurement and
level control for a wide variety of RF standards, including
CDMA, W-CDMA, CDMA2000, TD-SCDMA and WiMAX.
The DC output is buffered with a low output impedance
amplifier capable of driving a high capacitance load.

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:
Specifications over the –40ºC to +85ºC temperature range are
assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process
controls.
Note 3:
A 1:4 input transformer is used for the input matching to 50Ω
source.
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
–30dBm to 2dBm. The dynamic range is defined as the range over which
the linearity error is within ±1dB.
