ANALOG DEVICES DC821A Evaluation Board, LTC5533EDE, 300MHz to 11GHz, RF Power Detector

DC821A is a demonstration circuit featuring the LTC®5533 precision dual RF power detector. The LTC5533 is a dual channel RF power detector for RF applications operating in the 300MHz to 11GHz range. Two independent temperature compensated Schottky diode peak detectors and buffer amplifiers are combined in a small 4mm x 3mm DFN package. The RF input voltage is peak detected using on-chip Schottky diodes. The detected voltage is buffered and supplied to the VOUT pins. A power saving shut down mode reduces current to less than 2µA/channel. The initial output starting voltages of 130mV±35mV can be precisely adjusted using the VOS pins.
