RF amplifier / Class D / detection

RF Schottky peak detectors are best known for their careful monitoring and control on RF power transmission to comply with government regulations thereby minimizing RF interference with other radio devices.

Correspondingly, accuracy is quite crucial when it comes to RF power detection in both RF receivers and transmitters, and these world-class detectors combine both a temperature compensated diode peak detector and a buffer amplifier in a small package.

An on-chip Schottky diode is used to detect a peak RF input voltage and the detected voltage is then buffered and supplied to the VOUT pin.
