HMC611LP4 / 611LP4E v04.0309 60 dB, LOGARITHMIC DETECTOR / CONTROLLER, 1 - 10000 MHz Typical Applications Features The HMC611LP4(E) is ideal for IF and RF applications in: Wide Dynamic Range: Up to 63 dB • Cellular/PCS/3G Supply Voltage: +5V • WiMAX, WiBro, WLAN, Fixed Wireless & Radar Excellent Stability over Temperature • Power Monitoring & Control Circuitry Buffered Temperature Sensor Output • Receiver Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) 24 Lead 4x4mm SMT Package: 16mm2 High Accuracy: ±1 dB with 54 dB Range Up to 8 GHz • Automatic Gain & Power Control 12 Functional Diagram POWER DETECTORS - SMT General Description The HMC611LP4(E) Logarithmic Detector/Controller converts RF signals at its input, to a proportional DC voltage at its output. The HMC611LP4(E) employs a successive compression topology which delivers extremely high dynamic range and conversion accuracy over a wide input frequency range. As the input power is increased, successive amplifiers move into saturation one by one creating an accurate approximation of the logarithm function. The output of a series of square law detectors is summed, converted into voltage domain and buffered to drive the LOGOUT output. For detection mode, the LOGOUT pin is shorted to the VSET input, and will provide a nominal logarithmic slope of -25mV/ dB and an intercept of 18 dBm (22 dBm for ƒ ≥ 5.8 GHz). The HMC611LP4(E) can also be used in the controller mode where an external voltage is applied to the VSET pin, to create an AGC or APC feedback loop.

Note 2: For detector mode, connect high impedance volt meter to the LOGOUT port, and make no connection to VSET. LOGOUT is shorted to VSET by R9, as required for detector mode. Note 3: For controller mode, remove R9 and install 0 ohm resistor (R11), then make appropriate connection to LOGOUT and VSET. In controller mode, the LOGOUT output can be used to drive a variable gain amplifier, or a variable attenuator, either directly or through a buffer or microcontroller. VSET should be connected to an external supply, typically between +0.6 and +1.9V. 12 - 56 For price, delivery, and to place orders, please contact Hittite Microwave Corporation: 20 Alpha Road, Chelmsford, MA 01824 Phone: 978-250-3343 Fax: 978-250-3373 Order On-line at www.hittite.com HMC611LP4 / 611LP4E v04.0309 60 dB, LOGARITHMIC DETECTOR / CONTROLLER, 1 - 10000 MHz Evaluation PCB List of Materials for Evaluation PCB 121493 [1] Item Description J1 - J3 PC Mount SMA Connector J4 Molex Connector Header J5 - J9 DC Pin C1, C2, C3, C5, C7 100 pF Capacitor, 0402 Pkg.
