Analog Devices Inc. ADL6012 Fast Envelope Detector (2-67GHz,500MHz BW)

Analog Devices Inc. ADL6012 Fast Envelope Detector (2GHz to 67GHz, 500MHz BW) combines a wide, 500MHz envelope bandwidth and a fast, 0.6ns rise time. This combination makes the device suitable for a wide range of applications, including wideband envelope tracking, transmitter local oscillator (LO) leakage corrections, and high-resolution pulse (radar) detection. The ADL6012 offers extremely stable temperature performance across a wide frequency range. The typical temperature drift is less than 1dB of error over the entire detection range of the device from 2GHz to 67GHz. This makes the device well-suited for applications operating over a wide temperature range.

The ADL6012 is available in a compact 3mm x 2mm Lead Frame Chip Scale Package (LFCSP) and is RoHS compliant.
