HMC713LP3E

RF Detectors Overview

The HMC713LP3E is a logarithmic detector and controller integrated circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. utilizing SiGe technology. It operates within a frequency range of 50 MHz to 8 GHz, providing a dynamic range of 54 dB with an accuracy of ±1 dB. The device functions on a supply voltage between 2.7 V and 5.5 V, consuming a maximum power dissipation of 220 mW. It is housed in a 16-lead QFN package (3x3 mm) suitable for surface mount installation. The component supports operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C and features a single configuration.

RF Detectors Feature Summary

• Converts RF signal power into a DC voltage proportional to input power across a wide frequency spectrum using continuous compression technology.
• Provides precise logarithmic approximation through gradual saturation of the internal amplifier as input signal levels increase.
• Supports both detection mode with a nominal slope of 17 mV/dB and controller mode for external AGC or APC feedback loops via the VSET pin.

RF Detectors Applications

• Cellular infrastructure systems
• WiMAX, WiBro, and LTE/4G networks
• Receiver signal strength indication (RSSI)
• Automatic gain and power control circuits

RF Detectors Procurement Notes

Verify component status carefully as the HMC713LP3E is officially listed as obsolete and end-of-life by the manufacturer. Confirm availability through authorized distributors or secondary market suppliers, noting that new production units may not be obtainable directly from Analog Devices. Check for relevant product change notifications or lifecycle announcements prior to procurement to ensure long-term supply chain stability for existing designs.

RF Detectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth logarithmic response is required for frequencies up to 8 GHz. Consider its suitability for applications demanding high measurement precision over a 54 dB dynamic range. Evaluate the need for integrated controller functionality for automatic gain or power regulation. Ensure the design accommodates the specific thermal and voltage requirements associated with the SiGe technology and QFN packaging constraints.
