HMC601LP4 / 601LP4E v01.0509 75 dB, FAST SETTLING, LOGARITHMIC DETECTOR / CONTROLLER 10 - 4000 MHz Typical Applications Features The HMC601LP4(E) is ideal for IF and RF applications in: Wide Dynamic Range: up to 75 dB • Cellular/PCS/3G Flexible Supply Voltage: +2.7V to +5.5V • WiMAX, WiBro & Fixed Wireless Power-Down Mode • Power Monitoring & Control Circuitry Excellent Stability over Temperature • Receiver Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) Compact 4x4mm Leadless SMT Package Fast Pulse Response: 15/34ns (Rise/Fall Time) • Automatic Gain & Power Control Circuits POWER DETECTORS - SMT 12 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC601LP4(E) Logarithmic Detector/Controller converts RF signals at its input, to a proportional DC voltage at its output. The HMC601LP4(E) employ 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 19mV/dB and an intercept of -100dBm. The HMC601LP4(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. The HMC601LP4(E) provides a 15/34ns (rise/fall time) response time enabling RF burst detection to a pulse rate beyond 20 MHz.

Note 2: For single-ended input operation, use the INP port and make no connection to INN. INN is AC coupled to ground by C2 Note 3: For differential input, remove C2, and install a 1000pF capacitor in series with INN at location shown. Note 4: For detector mode, connect high impedence volt meter to the LOGOUT port, and make no connection to VSET. LOGOUT is shorted to VSET by R3, as required for detector mode. Note 5: For controller mode, remove R3 and 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.
