LTC5564 UltraFast™ 7ns Response Time 15GHz RF Power Detector with Comparator DESCRIPTION
The LTC®5564 is a precision, RF power detector for applications in the 600MHz to 15GHz frequency range. The LTC5564 operates with input power levels from –24dBm to 16dBm. A temperature compensated Schottky diode peak detector, gain-selectable operational amplifier, and fast comparator are combined in a small 16-lead 3mm × 3mm QFN package. The RF input signal is peak detected and then sensed by both a comparator and amplifier. The comparator provides a 9ns response time to input levels exceeding VREF along with a latch enable/disable function. The gain selectable operational amplifier provides a 350V/µs slew rate and 75MHz of demodulation bandwidth to the analog output. VOUTADJ and VREF pins allow for the adjustment of VOUT offset and VCOMP switch point voltages, respectively.

LTC5564 PIN FUNCTIONS
RFIN (Pin 1): RF Input Voltage. A coupling capacitor must be used to connect to the RF signal source. This pin has an internal 250Ω termination, an internal Schottky diode detector and an internal 8pF reservoir capacitor. NC (Pins 2, 9, 16): No Connect. These pins should be left unconnected by the user for best RF performance. GND (Pins 3, 4, Exposed Pad Pin 17): These pins should be tied to system ground. See Applications Information for best practices. LEN (Pin 5): Comparator Latch Enable Input. VCOMP will be latched when LEN is high and transparent when LEN is low. VOUTADJ (Pin 6): Amplifier Output Offset Adjust. When left floating, the VOUT pin of the amplifier will be at its nominal quiescent output offset value. See the Applications Information section for adjustment range. G0, G1 (Pins 7, 8): Amplifier Gain Selection. Logic low or high levels on the G0 and G1 pins will change the internal amplifier gain, bandwidth and slew rate characteristics. See the Applications Information section for gain setting codes. VOUT (Pin 10): Detector Amplifier Output. VCCP (Pin 11): High Current Power Supply Pin. VCCA (Pin 12): Analog Power Supply Pin. VCOMP (Pin 13): Comparator Output. VREF (Pin 14): Comparator Negative Input. Apply an external reference voltage to this pin. VCCRF (Pin 15): RF Power Supply Pin.

LTC5564 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Operation The LTC5564 is a fast RF detector with a high speed amplifier and comparator. This product integrates these functions to provide RF detection over frequencies ranging from 600MHz to 15GHz. These functions include an RF Schottky peak detector, internally compensated operational amplifier, and a comparator as shown in Figure 1. The LTC5564 has selectable amplifier gains, amplifier output offset adjustment and comparator latch enable capabilities. Amplifier The high speed amplifier offers four gain settings and is capable of driving a 1.7mA load with an output swing range of approximately 295mV to VCC – 1.6V. See Table 1 for gain setting operation. The VOUTADJ pin provides output DC offset adjustment to satisfy various interface requirements. Setting VOUT to 500mV also provides the maximum demodulation bandwidth in each gain mode. See Electrical and Typical Performance Characteristics curve. See Table 1 for the
Table 1. Gain Mode and Typical VOUTADJ Operation

typical VOUTADJ voltage for the desired VOUT DC output offset in each gain setting. RF Detector The internal temperature compensated Schottky diode peak detector converts the RF input signal to a low frequency signal. The detector demonstrates excellent efficiency and linearity over a wide range of input power levels. The Schottky diode is nominally biased at 180µA and drives a parallel reservoir capacitor-resistor network of 8pF and 1.2k. Comparator The high speed comparator compares the external reference voltage on the VREF pin to the internal signal voltage VP from the peak detector and produces the output logic signal VCOMP . VP is the internal comparator positive input as shown in Figure 1. LEN provides latch enable/disable functionality as shown in Figure 2.

LTC5564 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Propagation Delay, Slew Rate and Response Time The LTC5564 has been designed for high slew rate operation. For RF input power levels of 10dBm to 16dBm and a GAIN1 setting, the internal amplifier will slew at 350V/µs. In a given gain setting slew rate will be maximized for larger input power levels. Slew rate will degrade with smaller RFIN amplitude signals or when the amplifier gain is increased. See Electrical Characteristics. The LTC5564 has been designed to function as a positive peak detector. Consequently, the device responds to a rising signal at the RF detector input much more rapidly than a falling signal. Correspondingly, the rising edge of VOUT transitions much more rapidly than the falling edge transitions as shown in Figure 3. When operating in unity gain with a 10dBm to 16dBm RF input signal, the propagation delay to fifty percent ∆VOUT is approximately 7.0ns. The operational amplifier has been internally compensated to provide 75MHz bandwidth with VOUT = 500mV and a GAIN1 mode setting. With no RF input the output offset will be approximately 290mV. Lowering the output offset will degrade bandwidth performance. See the Typical Performance Characteristics. Loading, Bypass Capacitors and Board Layout The LTC5564 has been designed to directly drive a capacitive load of 10pF at VOUT. When driving a capacitive load greater than 10pF a series resistance should be added between VOUT and the load to maintain good stability. This resistance should be placed as close to VOUT as possible. See Table 2 for typical series resistor values for various capacitive loads.
Table 2. Typical Series Resistor Values for VOUT Capacitive Loading
CLOAD Up to 10pF 11pF to 20pF 21pF to 100pF Greater Than 100pF R SERIES 0Ω 40Ω 68Ω 100Ω
Good layout practice and proper use of bypass capacitors will improve circuit performance and reduce the possibility of measurement error. Bypass capacitors should be used for pins VCCRF, VCCA, VCCP, VOUTADJ and VREF. Bypass capacitors should be connected as close to the LTC5564 as possible. All ground return path lengths and ohmic losses should be minimized. See Figure 5 in the Applications Information section for the demo board schematic showing these bypass capacitances. The LTC5564 return path for all supply currents is through the Pin 17 exposed pad. A high resistance path from the Pin 17 exposed pad to power supply ground will cause a VOUT output offset error. Board layout and connections that minimize ohmic losses from the Pin 17 exposed pad to power supply ground will reduce this error. Measurements being made relative to LTC5564 ground should be made as close to the Pin 17 exposed pad to reduce errors.

LTC5564 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Applications The LTC5564 can be used as a self-standing signal strength measurement receiver for a wide range of input signals from –24dBm to 16dBm and frequencies from 600MHz to 15GHz. In addition to power detection, the LTC5564 may be used as a demodulator for AM and ASK modulated signals. Depending on the application the RSSI may be split into two branches to provide AC-coupled data (e.g., audio) and a DC-coupled RSSI output for signal strength measurement and AGC.
