LMV232
Dual-Channel Integrated Mean Square Power Detector
for CDMA & WCDMA
General Description
The LMV232 dual RF detector is designed for RF transmit
power measurement in mobile phones. This dual mean
square IC is especially suited for accurate power measure-
ment of RF signals exhibiting high peak-to-average ratios
used in 3G and UMTS/CDMA applications. The LMV232
saves calibration steps and system certification and is highly
accurate. The circuit operates with a single supply from 2.5
to 3.3V.
The LMV232 contains a mean square detector with two
sequentially selectable RF inputs. The RF input power range
of the device has been optimized for use with a 20 dB
directional coupler, without the need for additional external
components. A single external RC combination between FB
and OUT provides an externally configurable gain and LF
filter bandwidth of the device.
The device has two digital interfaces. A shutdown function is
available to set the device in a low-power shutdown mode. In
case SD = HIGH, the device is in shutdown, if SD = LOW the
device is active. The Band-Select function controls the se-
lection of the active RF input channel. In case BS = HIGH,
RF
IN
1 is active. In case BS = LOW, RF
IN
2 is active.
The dual mean square detector is offered in an 8-bump
micro SMD 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.6 mm package. This micro SMD
package has the smallest footprint and height.
