QUICK START GUIDE FOR DEMONSTRATION CIRCUIT 747

LOG-LINEAR RF/IF DETECTOR

LT5537

DESCRIPTION

Demonstration circuit 747 is a

log-linear RF/IF detector

featuring the LT

5537.

The LT5537 is a wide dynamic range RF/IF log detec-

tor, operational from below 10MHz to 1000MHz. The

lower limit of the operating frequency range can be

extended to near DC by the use of an external capaci-

tor. The input dynamic range at 200MHz with ±3dB

nonlinearity is 90dB (from –76dBm to 14dBm, single-

ended 50Ωinput). The detector output voltage slope

is normally 20mV/dB, and the typical temperature

coefficient is 0.01dB/°C at 200MHz.

Design files for this circuit board are available. Call

the LTC factory.

QUICK START GUIDE FOR DEMONSTRATION CIRCUIT 747

LOG-LINEAR RF/IF DETECTOR

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Demonstration circuit 747 is easy to set up to evalu-

ate the performance of the LT5537. Refer to Figure 1

for proper measurement equipment setup and follow

the procedure below:

Connect voltmeter’s negative (-) lead to demo

board GND test point (E4 or E5).

Connect voltmeter’s positive (+) lead to the demo

board OUTPUT test point (E2).

Connect DC power supply’s negative (-) output to

demo board GND test point (E4 or E5).

Connect DC power supply’s positive (+) output

(2.7V to 5.25V) to demo board V

test point (E3).

NOTE:

Do not exceed 5.5V, the absolute maximum

supply voltage.

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.

Using a jumper cable, connect demo board V

test

point (E3) to ENBL test point (E1). Now the detec-

tor is enabled (on) and is ready for measurement.

NOTE:

Make sure that the power is not applied to

ENBL before it is applied to V

. The voltages on

the ENBL test point must never exceed V

+ 0.2V.

Apply RF input signal and measure OUTPUT DC

voltages.

NOTE:

Do not exceed +22dBm, the absolute maxi-

mum RF input power.
