HMC6LP4 / 6LP4E v.8 DETECTOR / CONTROLLER, 5 Hz - MHz Typical Applications Features The HMC6LP4(E) is ideal for IF and RF applications in: Cellular/PCS/G WiMAX, WiBro, WLAN, Fixed Wireless & Radar Power Monitoring & Control Circuitry Receiver Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) Automatic Gain & Power Control Functional Diagram Wide Input Bandwidth: 5 Hz to GHz Wide Dynamic Range: Up to 4 db High Accuracy: ± db with 6 db Range Up to.9 GHz Supply Voltage: +.V to +5.5V Excellent Stability over Temperature Power-Down Mode Compact 4x4mm Leadless SMT Package General Description The HMC6LP4(E) Logarithmic Detector/Controller is ideal for converting input signals with frequencies in the 5 Hz to GHz range, to a proportional DC voltage at its output. The HMC6LP4(E) employs a successive compression technology which delivers extremely high dynamic range and conversion accuracy over a wide input frequency range. As the input signal is increased, successive amplifi ers 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 9 mv/db and an intercept of -99 dbm. The HMC6LP4(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.
