The use of IPAD technology allows the RF
front-end designer to save PCB area and to
drastically reduce parasitic inductances.

Description
The STPAC01F2 is an integrated RF detector for
the power control stage. It converts RF signal
coming from the coupler into a DC signal usable
by the digital stage. It is based on the use of two
similar diodes, one providing the signal detection
while the second one is used to provide
temperature information to a thermal
compensation stage. A biasing stage suppresses
the detection diode drop voltage effect.
