AD608ARZ-RL

AD608ARZ-RL is a low-power mixer/limiter/RSSI 3V receiver IF subsystem. It provides a low power, low distortion, low noise mixer as well as a complete, monolithic logarithmic/limiting amplifier that uses a successive-detection technique. In addition, the AD608 provides both a high-speed received signal strength indicator (RSSI) output with 80dB dynamic range and a hard-limited output. The RSSI output is from a two-pole post demodulation low-pass filter and provides a loadable output voltage of 0.2V to 1.8V. The AD608 operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply at a typical power level of 21mW at 3V. The RF and local oscillator (LO) bandwidths both exceed 500MHz. In a typical IF application, the AD608 can accept the output of a 240MHz surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter and down convert it to a nominal 10.7MHz IF with a conversion gain of 24dB (ZIF = 165 ohm). Applications include PHS, GSM, TDMA, FM, or PM receivers, battery-powered instrumentation, base station RSSI measurements.
