LTC5583 - Matched Dual-Channel 6GHz RMS Power Detector

LTC5583
Matched Dual-Channel
6GHz RMS Power Detector
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
n
The LTC®5583 is a dual-channel RMS power detector,
capable of measuring two AC signals with wide dynamic
range, from –59dBm to 4dBm, depending on frequency.
Each AC signal’s power in decibel-scaled value is precisely
converted to a DC voltage on a linear scale, independent
of the crest factor of the input signal waveforms. The
LTC5583 is suitable for precision power measurement and
level control for a variety of RF standards, including LTE,
EDGE, W-CDMA, CDMA2000, TD-SCDMA, and WiMAX.

Good channel-to-channel isolation is necessary for operating the dual channels simultaneously. For applications
where the two input signals are at the same frequency (e.g.
measuring VSWR), the LTC5583 provides 40dB isolation
at 2.14GHz even with single-ended inputs. No baluns are
needed. When the two input signals are at different frequencies, the isolation can be as high as 50dB. The isolation
can be improved to >55dB with differential inputs.

The power difference of the two input signals is provided
at a difference output pin. Each channel also has a fast
envelope detector, which tracks the RF input signal’s envelope and outputs a voltage directly proportional to the
signal’s instantaneous power. The envelope detectors can
be disabled to reduce power consumption.

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 LTC5583 is guaranteed functional over the temperature range
from –40°C to 85°C.
Note 3: Logarithmic Intercept is an extrapolated input power level from the
best-fit log-linear straight line, where the output voltage is 0V.
Note 4: Operation over a wider frequency range is possible with reduced
performance. Consult the factory for information and assistance.
Note 5: Linearity error is the difference in dB between the actual output
and the best-fit straight line at 25°C (using linear regression between
PIN = –50dBm and 0dBm for 450MHz, 880MHz, 2140MHz, 2700MHz;
V
mA
mA
20
μA
between PIN = –40dBm and 0dBm for 3600MHz, 5800MHz). The dynamic
range is defined as the range of input power over which the linearity error
is within ±1dB.
Note 6: Input A to Output B (Channel A to Channel B) isolation is defined
as the ratio of input power levels at the two channels when the interfering
channel (Channel A with higher power) results in a 1dB output deviation
in the interfered channel (Channel B with lower power) and vice versa.
Sweep one channel input power level while holding the other channel input
at –45dBm for 450MHz, 880MHz, 2140MHz, 2700MHz, 3600MHz, and at
–35dBm for 5800MHz.
Note 7: For frequency separation = 0Hz between the two input signals,
channel-to-channel isolation is a function of the phase difference between
these two signals. The worst-case isolation is assumed.

PIN FUNCTIONS
DECA, DECB (Pins 1, 6): Input Common Mode Decoupling Pins for Channel A and Channel B. These pins are
internally biased to 1.6V. The input impedance is 1.75kΩ
in parallel with a 40pF internal shunt capacitor to ground.
The impedance between DECA and IN+A (or IN–A) is 200Ω.
The pin can be connected to the center tap of an external
balun or to a capacitor to ground.
VCCA, VCCB, VCCR (Pins 2, 5, 3): Power Supply Pins for
Channel A, Channel B, and Bias Circuits. Typical total current consumption of these pins is 81mA. Each of these
pins should be bypassed with 1nF and 1μF capacitors,
placed as close to the IC as possible.
EN (Pin 4): Enable Input Pin. An applied voltage above
2V will activate the bias for the IC. For an applied voltage
below 0.3V, the circuit will be shut down (disabled) with
a corresponding reduction in power supply current. If
the enable function is not required, then this pin can be
connected to VCC. The applied voltage to this pin should
not exceed VCC by more than 0.3V.
RP2 (Pin 9): Pin for Setting Polarity of Second Order Output
Temperature Compensation. Connect this pin to ground
to change the output voltage inversely proportional to
ambient temperature. Float this pin to change the output

INV (Pin 12): Control Input Pin to Invert the Polarity of
the Difference Output VODF.
RT2 (Pin 14): Second Order Output Temperature Compensation Pin for Both Channels. Connect this pin to ground
to disable. The output voltage will increase or decrease
with the ambient temperature by connecting this pin to
ground via an off-chip resistor, depending on the polarity
set by RP2 pin.
VOS (Pin 15): Input Pin for Setting the DC Offset of the
Difference Output VODF. It is recommended to set this DC
offset such that VODF does not fall below 100mV.

to the difference of the two channels’ output voltages,

Channel B, respectively.
VCCN (Pin 19): Power Supply Pin for the Envelope Detectors in Both Channels. Typical total current consumption
of this pin is 9.6mA. This pin should be bypassed with 1nF
and 1μF capacitors. Connect this pin to ground to disable
the envelope detectors.
ENVA, ENVB (Pins 20, 11): Envelope Detector Output Pins
for Channel A and Channel B, respectively. Each output
tracks the input signal’s RF envelope and outputs a DC
voltage directly proportional to the signal power, normalized to the average power.
FLTA, FLTB (Pins 21, 10): Connection for an External Filtering Capacitor for Channel A and Channel B, respectively. A
minimum 8nF capacitor is required for stable AC average
power measurement. Each capacitor should be connected
between FLTA and VCCA, and between FLTB and VCCB.

Temperature Compensation. Connect this pin to ground
to change the output voltage proportional to ambient

RF Input Signal Pins for Channel A and Channel B. Each
channel can be driven with a single-ended or differential

be DC-blocked externally. The differential impedance is
400Ω.

the Entire IC. This must be soldered to the printed circuit
board ground plane.

range from 40MHz to 6GHz, independent of input waveforms with different crest factors such as CW, CDMA2K,
WCDMA, LTE and WiMAX signals. Up to 60dB dynamic
range is achieved with very stable output over the full
temperature range from –40°C to 85°C. Input sensitivity
can be as low as –56dBm up to 2.7GHz even with singleended 50Ω input termination.

The LTC5583 can be driven in a single-ended configuration.
The single-ended input impedance vs frequency is given
in Table 1. Figure 4 shows the simplified circuit of this
single-ended configuration for each channel. The DECA
pin can be either left floating or AC-coupled to ground
via an external capacitor. While the RF signal is applied
to the IN+A (or IN–A) pin, the other pin, IN–A (or IN+A),
should be AC-coupled to ground. By simply terminating
the signal side of the inputs with a 75Ω resistor in front
of the AC-blocking capacitor and coupling the other side
to ground using a 1nF capacitor, a broadband 50Ω input
match can be achieved with typical input return loss better
than 14dB from 40MHz to 2.7GHz. At higher RF frequencies, additional matching components may be needed.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LTC5583 differential inputs can also be driven from a
fully balanced source as shown in Figure 5. When the two
input sources are single-ended, conversion to differential
signals can improve channel-to-channel isolation to obtain
accurate outputs from the dual channels, particularly at
very high frequencies (i.e. 3.6GHz and above). This can
be achieved using a 1:1 balun to match the chip’s internal
400Ω input impedance to the 50Ω source by adding a
62Ω resistor (R1) at the differential inputs as shown in
Figure 5. Since there is no voltage conversion gain from
impedance transformation in this case, the sensitivity of
the detector is similar to the one using single-ended inputs
as shown in Figure 4.
dynamic range can also be shifted to tailor to a particular
application. By simply inserting an attenuator in front of
the RF input, the power range is shifted higher by the
amount of the attenuation.
If better sensitivity is needed, a 1:4 balun can be used
and R1 should be increased to 400Ω correspondingly to
match 200Ω input impedance to the 50Ω source. This
impedance transformation results in 6dB voltage gain,
thus 6dB improvement in sensitivity is obtained while
the overall dynamic range remains the same. At high
frequency, additional LC elements may be needed for
input impedance matching due to the parasitics of the
transformer and PCB traces.
These pins are internally biased at VCC – 0.43V via a 1.2k
resistor from the VCCA and VCCB voltage supply. To ensure
stable operation of the LTC5583, an external capacitor
with a value of 8nF or higher is required to connect the
FLTA pin to VCCA, and the FLTB pin to VCCB, respectively.
Do not connect these filter capacitors to ground or any
other low voltage reference to prevent an abnormal startup condition.
Alternatively, a narrowband LC matching network can
be used for the conversion of a single-ended signal to a
balanced signal. Such a matching network is shown in
Figure 6. By this means, the sensitivity and overall linear
dynamic range of the detector can be similar to the one
using a 1:4 RF input balun, as described above.
For a 50Ω input termination, the approximate RF input
power range of the LTC5583 is from –58dBm to 4dBm,
even with high crest factor signals such as a 4-carrier WCDMA waveform, but the minimum detectable RF power
level varies as the input RF frequency increases. The linear
The sensitivity of LTC5583 is dictated by the broadband
input noise power, which also determines the output DC
offset voltage. When the inputs are terminated differently,
the DC output voltage may vary slightly. When the input
noise power is minimized, the DC offset voltage is also
reduced to a minimum, and the sensitivity and dynamic
range are improved accordingly.
External Filtering Capacitors at FLTA and FLTB Pins
The value of these two filtering capacitors has a dominant
effect on the output transient response. The lower the
capacitance, the faster the output rise and fall times. For
signals with AM content such as W-CDMA, ripple can be
observed when the loop bandwidth set by the filtering
capacitors is close to the modulation bandwidth of the
signal.
In general, the LTC5583 output ripple remains relatively
constant regardless of the RF input power level for a fixed
filtering capacitor and modulation format of the RF signal.
Typically, this capacitor must be selected to average out
the ripple to achieve the desired accuracy of RF power
measurement.

LTC5583
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
RMS Power Detector Output: VOA, VOB
The output buffer amplifier of the LTC5583 is shown in
Figure 7. This Class-AB buffer amplifier can output ±5mA
current to the load. The output impedance is determined
primarily by the 50Ω series resistor connected to the buffer
amplifier inside the chip. This will prevent any overstress
on the internal devices in the event that the output is
shorted to ground.
The –3dB small-signal bandwidth of the buffer amplifier
is about 22.4MHz and the full-scale rise/fall time can be
as fast as 140ns, limited by the slew rate of the internal
circuit instead. When the output is resistively terminated
or open, the fastest output transient response is achieved
when a large signal is applied to the RF input. The rise time
of the LTC5583 is about 140ns and the fall time is 3.5μs,
respectively, for full-scale pulsed RF input power with
8.2nF filtering capacitors. The speed of the output transient
response is dictated mainly by the filtering capacitors (at
least 8nF) at the FLTA and FLTB pins. See the detailed output
transient response in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. When the RF input has AM content, residual
ripple may be present at the output depending upon the
low frequency content of the modulated RF signal. This
ripple can be reduced with a larger filtering capacitor at
the expense of a slower transient response.
Since the output buffer amplifier of the LTC5583 is capable
of driving an arbitrary capacitive load, the residual ripple
can be further filtered at the output with a series resistor
RSS and a large shunt capacitor CLOAD (see Figure 7). This
lowpass filter also reduces the output noise by limiting the
output noise bandwidth. When this RC network is designed
properly, a fast output transient response can be maintained
with reduced residual ripple. For example, we can estimate
CLOAD with an output voltage swing of 1.7V at 2140MHz.
In order to not allow the maximum 5mA sourcing current
to limit the fall time (about 5μs), the maximum value of
CLOAD can be chosen as follows:
CLOAD ≤ 5mA • Allowable Additional Time/1.7V
= 5mA • 0.25μs/1.7V = 735pF
Once CLOAD is determined, RSS can be chosen properly
to form an RC low-pass filter with a corner frequency of
1/[2π • (RSS + 50) • CLOAD].
In general, the rise time of the LTC5583 is much shorter
than the fall time. However, when the output RC filter is
used, the rise time may be dominated by the time constant
of this filter. Accordingly, the rise time becomes very similar
to the fall time. Although the maximum sinking capability
of the LTC5583 is 5mA, it is recommended that the output
load resistance should be greater than 1.2k in order to
achieve the full output voltage swing.

Polarity of the temperature coefficient TC1 (or TC2), can

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Envelope Detector Output: ENVA, ENVB
Enable: EN
Each envelope detector output linearly follows the instantaneous input power level, tracking the input signal’s RF
envelope. ENVA and ENVB also indicate the peak-to-average power ratio (crest factor). Thus, reading both VOA
and ENVA provides the average power, peak-to-average
power ratio, peak power, and RF envelope of the input
signal to Channel A. Reading VOB and ENVB provides the
same information for Channel B.
A simplified schematic of the EN pin interface is shown
in Figure 13. The enable voltage necessary to turn on the
LTC5583 is 2V. To disable or turn off the chip, set this voltage below 0.3V. It is important that the voltage applied to
the EN pin should never exceed VCC by more than 0.3V.
Otherwise, the supply current may be sourced through
the upper ESD protection diode connected at the EN pin.
Under no circumstances should voltage be applied to the
EN pin before the supply pins (VCCA , VCCB, VCCR, VCCN).
If this occurs, damage to the IC may result.

negative (for INV = low), a positive offset voltage VOS is
needed. Similarly, if VOB – VOA is negative (for INV = high),
a positive offset voltage VOS is needed.
VODF = (VOB – VOA) + VOS
if INV voltage > 2V.

A simplified schematic of the VODF interface is shown in
Figure 14. The low 5Ω output impedance at this pin is due
to internal feedback circuitry.

Fast ramping of the supply voltage can cause a current
glitch in the internal ESD protection circuits. Depending
on the supply inductance, this could result in a supply
voltage overshoot at initial turn-on that exceeds the maximum rating. A supply voltage ramp time of greater than
1ms is recommended. In case this voltage ramp time is
not controllable, a small (i.e. 1Ω) series resistor can be
inserted between VCC pin and the supply voltage source
to mitigate the problem and protect the IC. The R1 shown
in Figures 1 and 2 serves this purpose.
