HMC611 v04.0209 60 dB, LOGARITHMIC DETECTOR / CONTROLLER, 1 - 10000 MHz Typical Applications Features The HMC611 is ideal for: Wide Dynamic Range: Up to 70 dB • Cellular/PCS/3G High Accuracy: ±1 dB with 51 dB Range Up to 8 GHz • WiMAX, WiBro, WLAN, Fixed Wireless & Radar Supply Voltage: +5V • Power Monitoring & Control Circuitry Excellent Stability over Temperature • Receiver Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) Buffered Temperature Sensor Output • Automatic Gain & Power Control Die Size: 1.75 x 1.41 x 0.25 mm Functional Diagram General Description Power Detectors - CHIP 5 The HMC611 SiGe BiCMOS Logarithmic Detector/ Controller generates a voltage that is proportional to the log of the RF power envelop presented to its input. The HMC611 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 -25 mV/dB and an intercept of 18 dBm (22 dBm for ƒ ≥ 5.8 GHz). The HMC611 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.

Microstrip substrates should be placed as close to the die as possible in order to minimize bond wire length. Typical die-to-substrate spacing is 0.076mm to 0.152 mm (3 to 6 mils). Power Detectors - CHIP 5 5 - 11 0.254mm (0.010”) Thick MMIC Wire Bond 0.076mm (0.003”) RF Ground Plane Handling Precautions Follow these precautions to avoid permanent damage. Storage: All bare die are placed in either Waffle or Gel based ESD protective containers, and then sealed in an ESD protective bag for shipment. Once the sealed ESD protective bag has been opened, all die should be stored in a dry nitrogen environment. 0.254mm (0.010”) Thick Alumina Thin Film Substrate Figure 1. Cleanliness: Handle the chips in a clean environment. DO NOT attempt to clean the chip using liquid cleaning systems. Static Sensitivity: Follow ESD precautions to protect against ESD strikes. Transients: Suppress instrument and bias supply transients while bias is applied. Use shielded signal and bias cables to minimize inductive pick-up. General Handling: The chip may be handled by a vacuum collet or with a sharp pair of tweezers. Mounting Epoxy Die Attach: Apply a minimum amount of epoxy to the mounting surface so that a thin epoxy fillet is observed around the perimeter of the chip once it is placed into position. Cure epoxy per the manufacturer’s schedule.
