RFIN (Pin 1): RF Input Voltage. Referenced to VCC. An external coupling capacitor to the RF source is required. The frequency range is 300MHz to 3GHz. This pin has an internal 250Ω termination, an internal Schottky diode detector and peak detector capacitor. (See Note 6 in the Electrical Characteristics.) GND (Pin 2): System Ground. SHDN (Pin 3): Shutdown Input. A logic low on the SHDN pin places the part in shutdown mode. A logic high enables the part. SHDN has an internal 150k pull down resistor to ensure that the part is in shutdown when the drivers are in a tri-state condition. VOUT (Pin 4): Buffered and Level Shifted Detector Output Voltage. VCC (Pin 5): Power Supply Voltage, 2.7V to 6V. VCC should be bypassed appropriately with ceramic capacitors.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
Operation The LTC5505-X RF detector integrates several functions to provide RF power detection over frequencies ranging from 300MHz to 3.5GHz. These functions include an internally compensated buffer amplifier, an RF Schottky diode peak detector and level shift amplifier to convert the RF feedback signal to DC, a delay circuit to avoid voltage transients at VOUT when coming out of shutdown and a gain compression circuit to extend the detector dynamic range. Buffer Amplifier The buffer amplifier has a gain of two and is capable of driving a 2mA load. The buffer amplifier typically has an output voltage range of 0.25V to 1.75V. RF Detector The internal RF Schottky diode peak detector and level shift amplifier converts the RF input signal to a low frequency signal. The detector demonstrates excellent efficiency and linearity over a wide range of input power. The Schottky detector is biased at about 60µA and drives a peak detector capacitor of 28pF. Gain Compression The gain compression circuit changes the feedback ratio as the RF peak-detected input voltage increases above 100mV. Below 100mV, the voltage gain from the peak detector to the buffer output is 1.5. Above 200mV, the

Applications The LTC5505-1 and LTC5505-2 can be used as selfstanding signal strength measuring receivers for a wide range of input signals from –32dBm to 18dBm for frequencies from 300MHz to 3.5GHz. The LTC5505-1 and LTC5505-2 can be used as demodulators for AM and ASK modulated signals with data rates up to 5MHz. Depending on specific application needs, the RSSI output can be split into two branches, providing AC-coupled data (or audio) output and DC-coupled, RSSI output for signal strength measurements and AGC. The LTC5505-1 and LTC5505-2 can be used for dual band mobile phone transmitter power control (refer to Typical Application schematic on first page). The circuit uses a capacitive tap at the Tx PA outputs. For example, a 0.3pF capacitor (C1) followed by a 100Ω resistor (R1) forms a coupling circuit with about a 20dB loss at the cellular band and 18dB loss at the PCS band, referenced to the LTC5505-2 IC RF input pin. For improved coupling accuracy, the C1 capacitor should be a high tolerance component (±0.05pF.)
