General Description
The HMC600LP4 & HMC600LP4E Logarithmic
Detector/Controller convert RF signals at its input, to a
proportional DC voltage at its output. The HMC600LP4
& HMC600LP4E employ 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 19mV/dB and an intercept of -95
dBm. The HMC600LP4 & HMC600LP4E 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.
