DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
5581 is a 10MHz to 6GHz, low power monolithic
precision RMS power detector. The RMS detector uses
a proprietary technique to accurately measure the RF
power from –34dBm to +6dBm (at 2.14GHz) of modulated
signals with a crest factor as high as 12dB. It outputs a DC
voltage in linear scale proportional to an RF input signal
power in dBm. The LT5581 is suitable for precision power
measurement and control for a wide variety of RF standards,
including GSM/EDGE, CDMA, CDMA2000, W-CDMA, TD-
SCDMA, UMTS, LTE and WiMAX, etc. The final DC output
is connected in series with an on-chip 300Ω resistor, which
enables further filtering of the output modulation ripple
with just a single off-chip capacitor.

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:
The LT5581 is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
–40°C to 85°C.
Note 3:
The linearity error is calculated by the difference between the
incremental slope of the output and the average output slope from
–20dBm to 0dBm. The dynamic range is defined as the range over which
the linearity error is within ± 1dB.
Note 4:
An external capacitor at the C
SQ
pin should be used for input
frequencies below 250MHz. Lower frequency operation results in
excessive RF ripple in the output voltage.
Note 5:
Logarithmic intercept is an extrapolated input power level from the
best fitted log-linear straight line, where the output voltage is 0V.
Note 6:
PSRR is determined as the dB value of the change in V
OUT
voltage
over the change in V
CC
supply voltage.
Note 7:
Not production tested. Guaranteed by design and correlation to
production tested parameters.
