DC1638A

DC1638A is a demo board for LTC5587 6GHz RMS power detector with digital output. Demonstration circuit 1638A is a Mean-Squared power detector with integrated 12-bit ADC featuring the LTC®5587 IC. The LTC5587 is a wide dynamic range Mean Squared RF power detector, operational from 10MHz to 6GHz, with sample rate up to 500Ksps. The input dynamic range at 2.14GHz, with ±1dB nonlinearity, is 40dB (from -34dBm to +6dBm, single-ended 50 input). The detector output, VOUT is also the input to the internal ADC, the digital output slope is typically 70LSB/dB, and the typical output variation over temperature is ±1dB at 2.14GHz. LTC5587 has the internal 12-bit SPI compatible ADC. DC1638A demonstrates the performance in conjunction with DC590B Quick-Eval board. The DC590B board samples the ADC at approximately 200Hz.
