Analog Devices ADL5500 TruPwr™ Detector Datasheet
The ADL5500 TruPwr™ Detector provides true‑rms power measurement from 100 MHz to 6 GHz. It operates from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply, features a 50 Ω nominal input impedance, and delivers a linear DC output voltage with a conversion gain of 6.4 V/V rms at 900 MHz.
The device offers excellent temperature stability (±0.1 dB over –40 °C to +85 °C), low power consumption (≈3 mW at 3 V), and a dynamic range up to 30 dB at 3.9 GHz, making it suitable for complex modulation waveforms such as CDMA2000, W‑CDMA, and QPSK/QAM‑OFDM.
