LT5570
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1078 (DC1078A) is a MeanSquared RF Power detector featuring the LT5570.
The LT5570 is a wide dynamic range RF detector, operational from 40MHz to 2700MHz. The input dynamic range at 2140MHz with ±1dB nonlinearity is
51dB (from –38dBm to +13dBm. The detector output
voltage slope is normally 37mV/dB, and the typical
output variation over temperature is ±0.3dB at
2140MHz.
NOTE: DC1078A demo circuit is optimized for input
frequency of 2140MHz +/- 150MHz. Refer to page 3
for modifications for 2700MHz and 880MHz.
Design files for this circuit board are available. Call
the LTC factory.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 1078 is easy to set up to evaluate the performance of the LT5570. Refer to Figure 1
for proper measurement equipment setup and follow
the procedure below:
5.
Connect signal generator’s output to demo board
INPUT port (SMA connector J1) via coaxial cable.
A 3dB attenuator may be inserted to improve input
match.
1.
Connect voltmeter’s negative (-) lead to demo
board GND test point (TP2).
6.
2.
Connect voltmeter’s positive (+) lead to the demo
board OUTPUT test point (TP4).
Using a jumper cable, connect demo board VCC test
point (E3) to ENBL test point (TP3). Now the detector is enabled (on) and is ready for measurement.
3.
Connect DC power supply’s negative (-) output to
demo board GND test point (TP2).
4.
Connect DC power supply’s positive (+) output
(4.75V to 5.25V) to demo board VCC test point
(TP1).
NOTE: Do
not exceed 5.5V, the absolute maximum
supply voltage.
NOTE: Make sure that the power is not applied to
Enable (EN) test point before it is applied to VCC.
The voltage on the EN test point must never exceed VCC + 0.2V.
7.
Apply RF input signal and measure OUTPUT DC
voltages.
NOTE: Do not exceed +15dBm, the absolute maximum RF input power.
