Analog Devices Press Release - December 16, 2009

Analog Devices' RMS Power Detector Offers Communications Customers Best-In-Class Power Management Device for
3G and 4G Mobile Terminals
- ADL5504
TruPwr™ RMS detector’s detection accuracy and temperature stability enables increased efficiency, battery
life and signal quality; reduces manufacturing cost.
December
26, 2009 -- NORWOOD, Mass.-- (EON: Enhanced Online News)--
Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE: ADI), a global leader in
high-performance semiconductors for signal-processing applications and RF integrated circuits, today announced the
expansion of its industry-leading TruPwr™ RF power detector product family with the introduction of a new
integrated device for 3G and 4G mobile terminals. The
ADL5504 is a highly accurate, easy-to-use means of determining the RMS (root mean square) power of complex
waveforms. It can be used for power measurements of both simple and complex waveforms and is particularly useful
for measuring high crest factor (high peak-to-RMS ratio) signals, such as W-CDMA, CDMA2000, WiMAX, WLAN and LTE
waveforms. It is also effective for optimizing the performance of linear power amplifiers. Furthermore, the
ADL5504's temperature stability and waveform independence offer best-in-class accuracy at levels up to five
times better than competitive devices, significantly increasing efficiency, battery life and signal quality.
About
the ADL5504 TruPwr RMS Power Detector
The
ADL5504 is a TruPwr™ mean-responding (true RMS) power detector for use in high frequency receiver and
transmitter signal chains from 450 MHz to 6000 MHz. Requiring only a single supply between 2.5 V and 3.3 V, the
detector draws less than 1.8 mA. The input is internally ac-coupled and has a nominal input impedance of 500 Ω.
The RMS output is a linear-responding dc voltage with a conversion gain of 1.87 V/V RMS at 900 MHz. The
ADL5504's on-chip modulation filter provides adequate averaging for most waveforms. For more complex
waveforms, an external capacitor at the filter pin can be used for supplementary signal demodulation. An on-chip,
100 ohm series resistance at the output, combined with an external shunt capacitor, creates a low-pass filter
response that reduces the residual ripple in the dc output voltage. The
ADL5504 offers excellent temperature stability across a 30 dB range and near 0 dB measurement error across
temperature over the top portion of the dynamic range. In addition to its temperature stability, the ADL5504
offers low process variations that further reduce calibration complexity and operates from -40°C to +85°C.
Pricing, Availability and Complementary Products
The
ADL5504 is available now in a 0.8 x 1.2 mm WLCSP package and is priced at $3.00 per unit in 1,000-unit
quantities. In addition to the RMS power detectors, ADI has a wide range of products used within mobile terminals
including the MEMs accelerometers, audio amplifiers, HDMI interfaces, lens driver components, power management,
audio switches and mobile TV tuners. To connect with a specialist, cross reference tools, and more resources on
