LMV232 Dual-Channel Integrated Mean Square Power Detector for CDMA & WCDMA
February 2005
General Description
The LMV232 dual RF detector is designed for RF transmit
power measurement in mobile phones. This dual mean
square IC is especially suited for accurate power measurement of RF signals exhibiting high peak-to-average ratios
used in 3G and UMTS/CDMA applications. The LMV232
saves calibration steps and system certification and is highly
accurate. The circuit operates with a single supply from 2.5
to 3.3V.
The LMV232 contains a mean square detector with two
sequentially selectable RF inputs. The RF input power range
of the device has been optimized for use with a 20 dB
directional coupler, without the need for additional external
components. A single external RC combination between FB
and OUT provides an externally configurable gain and LF
filter bandwidth of the device.
The device has two digital interfaces. A shutdown function is
available to set the device in a low-power shutdown mode. In
case SD = HIGH, the device is in shutdown, if SD = LOW the
device is active. The Band-Select function controls the selection of the active RF input channel. In case BS = HIGH,
1 is active. In case BS = LOW, RFIN2 is active.

The dual mean square detector is offered in an 8-bump
micro SMD 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.6 mm package. This micro SMD
package has the smallest footprint and height.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
intended to be functional, but specific performance is not guaranteed. For guaranteed specifications and the test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.
Note 2: Human body model: 1.5 kΩ in series with 100 pF. Machine model, 0Ω in series with 100 pF.
Note 3: The maximum power dissipation is a function of T

Note 4: Electrical Table values apply only for factory testing conditions at the temperature indicated. Factory testing conditions result in very limited self-heating of
the device such that T
Note 5: Power in dBV = dBm + 13 when the impedance is 50Ω.
Note 6: All limits are guaranteed by design or statistical analysis.
Note 7: Typical values represent the most likely parametric norm.
Note 8: Device is set in active mode with a 10 kΩ resistor from V
pin using a 100 pF coupling capacitor.
Note 9: Turn-on time is measured by connecting a 10 kΩ resistor to the RF
of resistor R2 and capacitor C adds an additional delay.
Note 10: Typical numbers represent the 3-sigma value of 10k units. 3-sigma value of variation between −40˚C / 25˚C and variation between 25˚C / 85˚C.
