50MHz to 3GHz
RF Power Detector
with 60dB Dynamic Range

DESCRIPTIO
The LT®5534 is a 50MHz to 3GHz monolithic RF power
detector capable of measuring RF signals over a 60dB
dynamic range. The RF signal in a decibel scale is precisely
converted into DC voltage on a linear scale. The 60dB input
dynamic range is achieved using cascaded RF detectors
and RF limiters. Their outputs are summed to generate an
accurate log-linear DC voltage proportional to the input RF
signal in dB. The output is buffered with a low output
impedance driver. The LT5534 delivers superior temperature stability (typical output variation within ±1dB over the
full temperature range). The output responds in less than
40ns to a large RF input signal.

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 temperature range are
assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process
Note 3: The linearity error is calculated by the difference between the
incremental slope of the output and the average output slope from
–48dBm to –14dBm. The dynamic range is defined as the range over
which the linearity error is within ±3dB.
