FEATURES DESCRIPTION
6 GHz RMS Power Detector
with Digital Output
The LTC
®
5587 is a 10MHz to 6GHz, low power monolithic
precision RMS power detector with an integrated 12-bit
serial analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The RMS detec-
tor uses a proprietary technique to accurately measure the
RF power of modulated signals with crest-factor as high
as 12dB. For an input frequency of 2.14GHz the detection
range is from –34dBm to 6dBm. The serial digital output
of the detector is a 12-bit word value that is directly pro-
portional to the RF signal power measured in dBm. The
LTC5587 is suitable for precision power measurement
for a wide variety of RF standards, including LTE, WiMAX,
W-CDMA, TD-SCDMA, CDMA, CDMA2000, EDGE, GSM,
etc. The DC output of the detector is connected in series
with an on-chip 300 resistor to the analog output pin
(V
OUT
). This enables further filtering of the output modu-
lation ripple using an off-chip capacitor before analog-to-
digital conversion. The ADC features include no data latency,
no missing codes, and a sampling rate of up to 500ksps. A
dedicated external reference pin (V
REF
) can be tied to V
DD
or other suitable low-impedance voltage reference to set the
ADC full-scale input voltage range. The ADC also features
an automatic power down after each conversion making
the LTC5587 ideal for low-power applications.
