Description

1

TADJ/PWDN

This is a dual function pin used for controlling the amount of nonlinear intercept temperature compensation at

voltages <2.5 V and/or for shutting down the device at voltages >4 V. If the shutdown function is not used, this pin

can be connected to the VREF pin through a voltage divider. See Figure 41 for an equivalent circuit.

2

NC

No Connect.

3, 10

VPOS

Supply for the Device. Connect this pin to a 5 V power supply. Pin 3 and Pin 10 are not internally connected;

therefore, both must connect to the source.

4, 9, EPAD

COMM

System Common Connection. Connect these pins via low impedance to system common. The exposed paddle

is also COMM and should have both a good thermal and good electrical connection to ground.

5

CLPF

Connection for RMS Averaging Capacitor. Connect a ground-referenced capacitor to this pin. A resistor can be

connected in series with this capacitor to modify loop stability and response time. See Figure 43 for an

equivalent circuit.

6

VOUT

Output. In measurement mode, this pin is connected to VSET. In controller mode, this pin can be used to drive

a gain control element. See Figure 43 for an equivalent circuit.

7

VSET

The voltage applied to this pin sets the decibel value of the required RF input voltage that results in zero

current flow in the loop integrating capacitor pin, CLPF. This pin controls the variable gain amplifier (VGA) gain

circuit.

8

TEMP

Temperature Sensor Output of 1.4 V at 25°C with a Coefficient of 5 mV/°C. See Figure 38 for an equivalent circuit.

11

VREF

General-Purpose Reference Voltage Output of 2.3 V at 25°C. See Figure 39 for an equivalent circuit.

12

VTGT

The voltage applied to this pin determines the target power at the input of the RF squaring circuit. The intercept

voltage is proportional to the voltage applied to this pin. The use of a lower target voltage increases the crest

factor capacity; however, this may affect the system loop response. See Figure 44 for an equivalent circuit.

13

NC

No Connect.

14

INHI

RF Input. The RF input signal is normally ac-coupled to this pin through a coupling capacitor. See Figure 37 for

an equivalent circuit.

15

INLO

RF Input Common. This pin is normally ac-coupled to ground through a coupling capacitor. See Figure 37 for

an equivalent circuit.

16

NC

No Connect.
