RF detector integrates fast comparator

The LTC5564 precision RF power detector operates from 600 MHz to 15 GHz, with a fast response time of 7ns from a pulsed RF signal. Moreover, the device has an on-chip fast comparator with a propagation delay of 9 ns and can measure RF input signals from –24 to 16 dBm. This dynamic range is provided by a programmable gain output amplifier with four gain settings, which are digitally controlled by two logic input pins that are binary weighted.

Housed in a 16-pin QFN package, the device also includes a dynamic range of 40 dB, a single supply voltage of 3.3 or 5 V, a nominal current of 44 mA, and an operating temperature from –40° to 85°C. (From $2.90 ea/1,000 — available now.)
