GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The ADL5500 is a mean-responding power detector for use  
in high frequency receiver and transmitter signal chains from  
100 MHz to 6 GHz. It is easy to apply, requiring only a single  
supply between 2.7 V and 5.5 V and a power supply decoupling  
capacitor. The input is internally ac-coupled and has a nominal  
input impedance of 50 Ω. The output is a linear-responding dc  
voltage with a conversion gain of 6.4 V/V rms at 900 MHz. The  
on-chip, 1 kΩ series resistance at the output combined with an  
external shunt capacitor creates a low-pass filter response that  
reduces the residual ripple in the dc output voltage.  
The ADL5500 offers excellent temperature stability with near  
0 dB measurement error across temperature. The high accuracy  
range, centered around +3 dBm at 900 MHz, offers 0.1 dB  
error from −40°C to +85°C over an 8.5 dB range. The ADL5500  
reduces calibration requirements with low drift across a 30 dB  
range over temperature and process variations.  
The ADL5500 operates from −40°C to +85°C and is available in  
a 4-ball, 1.0 mm × 1.0 mm wafer-level chip scale package. It is  
fabricated on a proprietary high fT silicon bipolar process.  
The ADL5500 is intended for true power measurement of  
simple and complex waveforms. The device is particularly  
useful for measuring high crest factor (high peak-to-rms ratio)  
signals, such as CDMA2000, W-CDMA, and QPSK/QAM-  
based OFDM waveforms.

ESD CAUTION  
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on  
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features  
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy  
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance  
degradation or loss of functionality.

ADL5500  
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION  
The ADL5500 is an rms-responding (mean power) detector that  
provides an approach to the exact measurement of RF power  
that is independent of waveform. It achieves this function by  
using a proprietary technique in which the outputs of two  
identical squaring cells are balanced by the action of a high-gain  
error amplifier.  
The squaring cells have very wide bandwidth with an intrinsic  
response from dc to microwave. However, the dynamic range of  
such a system is small due in part to the much larger dynamic  
range at the output of the squaring cells. There are practical  
limitations to the accuracy of sensing very small error signals at  
the bottom end of the dynamic range, arising from small random  
offsets that limit the attainable accuracy at small inputs.  
The signal to be measured is applied to the input of the first  
squaring cell through the input matching network. The input is  
matched to offer a broadband 50 Ω input impedance from  
100 MHz to 6 GHz. The input matching network has a high-pass  
corner frequency of approximately 90 MHz.  
On the other hand, the squaring cells in the ADL5500 have a  
Class-AB aspect; the peak input is not limited by its quiescent  
bias condition but is determined mainly by the eventual loss of  
square-law conformance. Consequently, the top end of their  
response range occurs at a large input level (approximately  
700 mV rms) while preserving a reasonably accurate square-law  
response. The maximum usable range is, in practice, limited by  
the output swing. The rail-to-rail output stage can swing from a  
few millivolts above ground to within 100 mV below the supply.  
An example of the output induced limit, given a conversion gain  
of 6.4 V/V rms at 900 MHz and assuming a maximum output of  
2.9 V with a 3 V supply, has a maximum input of 2.9 V rms/6.4  
or 450 mV rms.  
The ADL5500 responds to the voltage, VIN, at its input by  
squaring this voltage to generate a current proportional to VIN  
This current is applied to an internal load resistor in parallel  
2
.
with a capacitor, followed by a low-pass filter, which extracts the  
mean of VIN2. Although essentially voltage responding, the  
associated input impedance calibrates this port in terms of  
equivalent power. Therefore, 1 mW corresponds to a voltage  
input of 224 mV rms referenced to 50 Ω. Because both the  
squaring cell input impedance and the input matching network  
are frequency dependent, the conversion gain is a function of  
signal frequency.  
FILTERING  
An important aspect of rms-dc conversion is the need for  
averaging (the function is root-mean-square). The on-chip  
averaging in the square domain has a corner frequency of  
approximately 150 kHz and is sufficient for common  
modulation signals, such as CDMA, WCDMA, and QPSK-  
/QAM-based OFDM (for example, WLAN and WiMAX). It  
ensures the accuracy of rms measurement for these signals;  
however, it leaves significant ripple on the output. To reduce  
this ripple, an external shunt capacitor can be used at the output  
to form a low-pass filter with the on-chip 1 kΩ resistance (see  
the Selecting the Output Low-Pass Filter Network section).  
The voltage across the low-pass filter, whose frequency can be  
arbitrarily low, is applied to one input of an error-sensing  
amplifier. A second identical voltage-squaring cell is used to  
close a negative feedback loop around this error amplifier. This  
second cell is driven by a fraction of the quasi-dc output voltage  
of the ADL5500. When the voltage at the input of the second  
squaring cell is equal to the rms value of VIN, the loop is in a  
stable state, and the output then represents the rms value of the  
input.  
By completing the feedback path through a second squaring  
cell, identical to the one receiving the signal to be measured,  
several benefits arise. First, scaling effects in these cells cancel;  
therefore, the overall calibration can be accurate, even though  
the open-loop response of the squaring cells taken separately  
need not be. Note that in implementing rms-dc conversion, no  
reference voltage enters into the closed-loop scaling. Second,  
the tracking in the responses of the dual cells remains very close  
over temperature, leading to excellent stability of calibration.

ADL5500  
APPLICATIONS  
BASIC CONNECTIONS  
LINEARITY  
Figure 33 shows the basic connections for the ADL5500. The  
device is powered by a single supply of between 2.7 V and 5.5 V  
with a quiescent current of 1.0 mA. The VPOS pin is decoupled  
using 100 pF and 0.1 μF capacitors.  
Because the ADL5500 is a linear-responding device, plots of  
output voltage vs. input voltage result in a straight line. It is  
more useful to plot the error on a logarithmic scale, as shown in  
Figure 35. The deviation of the plot for the ideal straight-line  
characteristic is caused by output clipping at the high end and  
by signal offsets at the low end. However, it should be noted that  
offsets at the low end can be either positive or negative; therefore,  
this plot could also trend upwards at the low end. Figure 10  
through Figure 15 show error distributions for a large  
population of devices.  
The ADL5500 RF input does not require external termination  
components because it is internally matched for an overall  
broadband input impedance of 50 Ω.

OUTPUT SWING  
At 900 MHz, the output voltage is nominally 6.4 times the input  
rms voltage (a conversion gain of 6.4 V/V rms). The output  
voltage swings from near ground to 4.9 V on a 5.0 V supply.

Figure 34 shows the output swing of the ADL5500 to a CW  
input for various supply voltages. It is clear from Figure 34 that  
operating the device at lower supply voltages reduces dynamic  
range as the output headroom decreases.

It is also apparent in Figure 35 that the error plot tends to shift  
to the right with increasing frequency. The squaring cell has an  
input impedance that decreases with frequency. The matching  
network compensates for the change and maintains the input  
impedance at a nominal 50 Ω. The result is a decrease in the  
actual voltage across the squaring cell as the frequency  
increases, reducing the conversion gain. Similarly, conversion  
gain is less at frequencies near 100 MHz because of the small  
on-chip coupling capacitor.

ADL5500  
The output of the ADL5500 can be filtered by placing a  
INPUT COUPLING USING A SERIES RESISTOR  
capacitor between VRMS (Pin 1) and ground. The combination  
of the on-chip 1 kΩ output series resistance and the external  
shunt capacitor forms a low-pass filter to reduce the residual ac.  
Figure 36 shows a technique for coupling the input signal into  
the ADL5500 that can be applicable where the input signal is  
much larger than the input range of the ADL5500. A series  
resistor combines with the input impedance of the ADL5500 to  
attenuate the input signal. Because this series resistor forms a  
divider with the frequency dependent input impedance, the  
apparent gain changes greatly with frequency. However, this  
method has the advantage of very little power being tapped off  
in RF power transmission applications. If the resistor is large  
compared to the transmission lines impedance, the VSWR of  
the system is relatively unaffected.  
Table 4 shows the effect of several capacitor values for various  
communications standards with high peak-to-average ratios  
along with the residual ripple at the output, in peak-to-peak and  
rms volts. Note that large load capacitances increase the turn-on  
and pulse response times (see Figure 29 and Figure 30).

MULTIPLE RF INPUTS  
Figure 37 shows a technique for combining multiple RF input  
signals to the ADL5500. Some applications can share a single  
detector for multiple bands. Three 16.5 Ω resistors in a T-network  
combine the three 50 Ω terminations (including the ADL5500).  
The broadband resistive combiner ensures each port of the  
T-network sees a 50 Ω termination. Because there is only 6 dB  
of isolation from one port of the combiner to the other ports,  
only one band should be active at a time.

The quiescent current consumption of the ADL5500 varies with  
the size of the input signal from approximately 1 mA for no  
signal up to 6 mA at an input level of 0.7 V rms (10 dBm, re  
50 Ω). If the input is driven beyond this point, the supply  
current increases sharply (as shown in Figure 6). There is little  
variation in quiescent current with power supply voltage.

The ADL5500 can be disabled by simply removing the power to  
the device. Figure 32 shows a plot of the output response to the  
supply being turned on (that is, VPOS is pulsed) with an output  
shunt capacitor of 0.01 μF. Again, the turn-on time is influenced  
strongly by the size of the output shunt capacitor.  
Figure 37. Combining Multiple RF Input Signals  
SELECTING THE OUTPUT LOW-PASS FILTER  
NETWORK  
The ADL5500’s internal filter capacitor provides averaging in  
the square domain but leaves some residual ac on the output.  
Signals with high peak-to-average ratios, such as W-CDMA  
or CDMA2000, can produce ac-residual levels on the ADL5500  
dc output. To reduce the effects of these low frequency  
components in the waveforms, some additional filtering is  
required.  
To improve the falling edge of the supply gating response and  
the pulse response, a resistor can be placed in parallel with the  
output shunt capacitor. The added resistance helps discharge  
the capacitor. Although this method reduces the power-off  
time, the added load resistor also attenuates the output (see the  
Output Drive Capability and Buffering section).

ADL5500  
VRMS OUTPUT OFFSET  
OUTPUT DRIVE CAPABILITY AND BUFFERING  
The ADL5500 has a 1 dB error detection range of about 30 dB,  
as shown in Figure 10 to Figure 15. The error is referred to the  
best fit line defined in the linear region of the output response.  
Below an input power of −20 dBm, the response is no longer  
linear and begins to lose accuracy. In addition, depending on  
the supply voltage, saturation of the output limits the detection  
accuracy above 10 dBm. Calibration points should be chosen in  
the linear region, avoiding the nonlinear ranges at the high and  
low extremes.  
The ADL5500 is capable of sourcing an output current of  
approximately 3 mA. The output current is sourced through the  
on-chip 1 kΩ series resistor; therefore, any load resistor forms a  
voltage divider with this on-chip resistance. It is recommended  
that the ADL5500 drive high resistive loads to preserve output  
swing (preferably >100 kΩ). If an application requires driving  
a low resistance load, a simple buffering circuit can be used,  
as shown in Figure 40. Similar circuits can be used to increase  
or decrease the nominal conversion gain (see Figure 38 and  
Figure 39). In Figure 39, the AD8031 buffers a resistive divider  
to give half of the slope. In Figure 38, the op amp’s gain of two  
doubles the slope. Using other resistor values, the slope can be  
changed to an arbitrary value. The AD8031 rail-to-rail op amp,  
used in these examples, can swing from 50 mV to 4.95 V on a  
single 5 V supply and operates at supply voltages down to 2.7 V.  
If high output current is required (>10 mA), the AD8051, which  
also has rail-to- rail capability, can be used down to a supply  
voltage of 3 V. It can deliver up to 45 mA of output current.

decrease and some flatten out. With no RF signal applied,  
the ADL5500 has a typical output offset of 40 mV (with a  
maximum of 150 mV).

Figure 42 also includes error plots for the output voltage at  
−40°C and +85°C. These error plots are calculated using the  
slope and intercept at +25°C. This is consistent with calibration  
in a mass-production environment where calibration at  
temperature is not practical.  
DEVICE CALIBRATION AND ERROR CALCULATION  
Because slope and intercept vary from device to device, board-  
level calibration must be performed to achieve high accuracy. In  
general, calibration is performed by applying two input power  
levels to the ADL5500 and measuring the corresponding output  
voltages. The calibration points are generally chosen to be  
within the linear operating range of the device. The best fit line  
is characterized by calculating the slope and intercept using the  
following equations:  
CALIBRATION FOR IMPROVED ACCURACY  
Another way of presenting the error function of the ADL5500 is  
shown in Figure 43. In this case, the dB error at hot and cold  
temperatures is calculated with respect to the transfer function  
at ambient. This is a key difference in comparison to the  
previous plots. Up to now, the errors have been calculated with  
respect to the ideal linear transfer function at ambient. When  
this alternative technique is used, the error at ambient becomes  
equal to 0 by definition (see Figure 43).  
Slope = (VRMS2 VRMS1)/(VIN2 VIN1  
Intercept = VRMS1 − (Slope × VIN1

IN is the rms input voltage to RFIN.  
RMS is the voltage output at VRMS.  
This plot is a useful tool for estimating temperature drift at a  
particular power level with respect to the (nonideal) response at  
ambient. The linearity and dynamic range tend to be improved  
artificially with this type of plot because the ADL5500 does not  
perfectly follow the ideal linear equation (especially outside of  
its linear operating range). Achieving this level of accuracy in  
an end application requires calibration at multiple points in the  
device’s operating range.  
Once slope and intercept have been calculated, an equation can  
be written that allows calculation of an (unknown) input power  
based on the measured output voltage.

IN = (VRMS Intercept)/Slope

For an ideal (known) input power, the law conformance error of  
the measured data can be calculated as  
In some applications, very high accuracy is required at just one  
power level or over a reduced input range. For example, in a  
wireless transmitter, the accuracy of the high power amplifier  
(HPA) is most critical at or close to full power. The ADL5500  
offers a tight error distribution in the high input power range,  
as shown in Figure 43. The high accuracy range, centered  
around +3 dBm at 900 MHz, offers 8.5 dB of 0.1 dB detection  
error over temperature. Multiple point calibration at ambient  
temperature in the reduced range offers precise power  
ERROR (dB) =  
20 × log [(VRMS, MEASURED Intercept)/(Slope × VIN, IDEAL)] (4)  
Figure 42 includes a plot of the error at 25°C, the temperature at  
which the ADL5500 is calibrated. Note that the error is not zero.  
This is because the ADL5500 does not perfectly follow the ideal  
linear equation, even within its operating region. The error at  
the calibration points is, however, equal to zero by definition.

The high accuracy range center varies over frequency. At  
900 MHz, the region is centered at approximately 3 dBm. At  
higher frequencies, the high accuracy range is centered at  
higher input powers (see Figure 16 to Figure 21).

DRIFT OVER A REDUCED TEMPERATURE RANGE  
Figure 44 shows the error over temperature for a 1.9 GHz input  
signal. Error due to drift over temperature consistently remains  
within 0.25 dB and only begins to exceed this limit when the  
ambient temperature goes above +50°C and below −10°C. For  
all frequencies using a reduced temperature range, higher  
measurement accuracy is achievable.

OPERATION ABOVE 4.0 GHz  
The ADL5500 works at frequencies above 4.0 GHz, but exhibits  
slightly higher output voltage temperature drift. Figure 45 and  
Figure 46 show the error distributions of six devices at 5.0 GHz  
and 6.0 GHz over temperature. Although the temperature drift  
is larger than at lower frequencies, the error distributions at  
each temperature remain tight throughout the central linear  
region. Due to the repeatability of the drift from part-to-part,  
compensation can be applied to reduce the effects of  
temperature drift.

DEVICE HANDLING  
The wafer-level chip scale package consists of solder bumps  
connected to the active side of the die. The part is lead-free with  
95.5% tin, 4.0% silver, and 0.5% copper solder bump composition.  
The WLCSP can be mounted on printed circuit boards using  
standard surface-mount assembly techniques; however, caution  
should be taken to avoid damaging the die. See the AN-617  
Application Note for additional information. WLCSP devices  
are bumped die; therefore, the exposed die can be sensitive to  
light, which can influence specified limits. Lighting in excess of  
600 LUX can degrade performance.

EVALUATION BOARD  
Figure 47 shows the land pattern used on the ADL5500  
Figure 48 shows the schematic of the ADL5500 evaluation  
board. The layout and silkscreen of the evaluation board layers  
are shown in Figure 49 to Figure 52. The board is powered by a  
single supply in the 2.7 V to 5.5 V range. The power supply is  
decoupled by 100 pF and 0.01 μF capacitors. Table 5 details the  
various configuration options of the evaluation board.  
evaluation board. Pad diameters of 0.28 mm are used with a  
solder paste mask opening of 0.38 mm. For the RF input trace, a  
trace width of 0.30 mm is used, which corresponds to a 50 Ω  
characteristic impedance for the dielectric material being used  
(FR4). All traces going to the pads are tapered down to 0.15 mm.  
For the RFIN line, the length of the tapered section is 0.20 mm.  
Problems caused by impedance mismatch can arise using the  
evaluation board to examine the ADL5500 performance. One  
way to reduce these problems is to put a coaxial 3 dB attenuator  
on the RFIN SMA connector. Mismatches at the source, cable,  
and cable interconnection, as well as those occurring on the  
evaluation board, can cause these problems.

A simple (and common) example of such a problem is triple  
travel due to mismatch at both the source and the evaluation  
board. Here the signal from the source reaches the evaluation  
board and mismatch causes a reflection. When that reflection  
reaches the source mismatch, it causes a new reflection, which  
travels back to the evaluation board, adding to the original  
signal incident at the board. The resultant voltage varies with  
both cable length and frequency dependence on the relative  
phase of the initial and reflected signals. Placing the 3 dB pad at  
the input of the board improves the match at the board and thus  
reduces the sensitivity to mismatches at the source. When such  
precautions are taken, measurements are less sensitive to cable  
length and other fixture issues. In an actual application when  
the distance between ADL5500 and source is short and well-  
defined, this 3 dB attenuator is not needed.
