HMC1030LP5E
DUAL RMS POWER DETECTOR
DC - 3.9 GHz
v0 3.1113
General Description
Electrical Specications I, TA = +25°C, VCCA = VCCB = VCCBS = 5V, Sci3 = Sci1 = 0V,
Sci2= 5V, Unless Otherwise Noted
The HMC1030LP5E is a dual-channel RMS power detector designed for high accuracy RF power signal measure-
ment and control applications over the 0.1 to 3.9 GHz frequency range. The device can be used with input signals hav-
ing RMS values from -60 dBm to +10 dBm referenced to 50 Ohm and large crest factors with no accuracy degradation.
Each RMS detection channel is fully specied for operation up to 3.9 GHz, over a wide dynamic range of 70 dB. The
HMC1030LP5E operates from a single +5V supply and provides two linear-in-dB detection outputs at the RMSA and
RMSB pins with scaled slopes of 37 mV/dB. The RMSA and RMSB channel outputs provide RMS detection perfor-
mance in terms of dynamic range, logarithmic linearity and temperature stability similar to Hittite’s HMC1021LP4E
RMS Detector. The RMSA and RMSB outputs provide a read of average input signal power, or true-RMS power.
Frequency detection up to 3.9 GHz is possible, with excellent channel matching of less than 1 dB, over a wide range
of input frequencies and with low temperature drift.
The HMC1030LP5E also provides “channel difference” output ports via pins OUTP and OUTN, permitting measure-
ments of the input signal power ratio between the two power detection channels. These outputs may be used in
single-ended or differential congurations. An input voltage applied to the VLVL input pin is used to set the common
mode voltage reference level for OUTP and OUTN. On the Hittite evaluation board, the VLVL pin is shorted to VREF2
output to provide a nominal bias voltage of 2.5V; but any external bias voltage may be used to set VLVL.
The HMC1030LP5E features ETA and ETB pins which provide an accurate voltage output which is linearly propor-
tional to the envelope amplitude of the RF input signal for modulation bandwidths up to 150 MHz. The high bandwidth
envelope detection of the HMC1030LP5E makes it ideal for detecting broadband and high crest factor RF signals
commonly used in CDMA2000, WCDMA, and LTE systems. Additionally, the instantaneous envelope output can be
used to create fast, excessive RF power protection, PA linearization, and efficiency enhancing envelope tracking PA
implementations.
The HMC1030LP5E includes a buffered PTAT temperature sensor output with a temperature scaling factor of 2 mV/°C
yielding a typical output voltage of 567 mV at 0°C.
The HMC1030LP5E operates over the -40 to +85°C temperature range, and is available in a compact, 32-lead 5x5
mm leadless QFN package.

HMC1030LP5E
DUAL RMS POWER DETECTOR
DC - 3.9 GHz
v0 3.1113
Application Information
Principle of Operation
The HMC1030LP5E is a dual-channel RMS and Envelope detector in a single package. The HMC1030LP5E’s RMS
detector core is designed to measure the actual RMS power of the input signal, independent of the modulated signal
waveform complexity or the modulation scheme. The RMS detector core architecture of HMC1030LP5E is composed
of a full-wave rectier, log/antilog circuit, and an integrator as shown above. The RMS output signal is directly
proportional to the logarithm of the time-average of VIN
2. The bias block also contains temperature compensation
circuits which stabilize output accuracy over the entire operating temperature range. The DC offset cancellation circuit
actively cancels internal offsets so that even very small input signal levels can be measured accurately.
The HMC1030LP5E supports controller mode operation. For more information regarding controller mode operation,
please contact Hittite application support.
The HMC1030LP5E achieves exceptional RF power measurement accuracy independent of the modulation of the
carrier with this system architecture. The relation between the HMC1030LP5E’s RMSOUT output and the RF input
power is given below
Where ß is op-amp gain set via resistors on the Vset pin.

HMC1030LP5E’s envelope detector core is capable of extracting the envelope information of the modulated RF signal
with modulation bandwidths in excess of 100 MHz. The extracted envelope information is independent of the average
power and the crest factor of the RF signal. The RMS detector core provides a linear-in-dB output of the average RF
power, whereas the envelope detector core provides a linear representation of the instantaneous envelope waveform.
The envelope detection feature may be used in ultra-fast excessive RF power protection systems, PA linearization
techniques and in efficiency enhancing Envelope-Tracking PA implementations.
Measuring the ETOUT and RMS output voltage signals simultaneously provides a very informative picture of the
RF input signal such as, peak power, average power, peak-to-average power, and RF wave-shape. Simultaneous
measurement of instantaneous signal power and average power is essential for taking full advantage of a receive
signal chain’s available dynamic range, while avoiding saturation, or to maximize transmitter efficiency.
The HMC1030LP5E requires a single 5V supply with an adequate power supply decoupling as recommended in the
application schematic.
Inputs of the HMC1030LP5E are broadband matched to 50 Ohm single-ended with details included in the subsequent
“Broadband Single-Ended Input Interface” section.
The RMSA & RMSB outputs are typically connected to VSETA & VSETB inputs through a resistive network, resulting
in a Pin VRMS transfer characteristic with a slope of 37 mV/dBm (at 1900 MHz) for both channels. However, the RMS
outputs can be re-scaled to “magnify” a specic portion of the input sensing range, and to fully utilize the dynamic
range of the RMS outputs. Refer to the section under the “Log-Slope and Intercept” section for details.
The OUTP & OUTN outputs provide the input signal power ratio between the two power detection channels. The
OUTP & OUTN outputs are typically connected to FBKA & FBKB. An input voltage applied to the VLVL input pin is
used to set the common mode voltage reference level for the OUTP & OUTN. The VLVL pin is typically connected
to VREF2 output to provide a nominal bias voltage of 2.5V. Optionally, external bias voltage may be applied to VLVL.
Refer to the section under the “Channel Difference Outputs” for details.
The ETA & ETB outputs provide linearly scaled replica of the instantaneous envelope of the modulated RF signal
with modulation bandwidths up to 150 MHz for both channels. For optimum performance, the ET outputs of the
HMC1030LP5E should be terminated to ground with a 560 Ohm load resistor. Refer to the section under the “Envelope
Detector Output” for details.

The SCA1-3 & SCB1-3 inputs are congured digitally to set the integration bandwidth of the RMS detectors for both
channels. Refer to the section under the “RMS Output Interface and Transient Response” section for details.
The COFAP-N & COFBP-N inputs determine the 3dB bandwidth of the input high pass lter for both channels. Typically
1nF external high pass lter capacitors are connected between COFAP & COFAN and between COFBP & COFBN for
a banwdith of 62 kHz.
The ENX input is the active low enable pin of the whole device. The ENOUT input is the active high enable pin of the
integrated OpAmps driving OUTA & OUTB, ETA & ETB. For normal operation, ENX should be connected to GND and
ENOUT should be connected to Vcc.
Due to part-to-part variations in log-slope and log-intercept, a system-level calibration is recommended to satisfy
absolute accuracy requirements: refer to the “System Calibration” section for more details.
Broadband Single-Ended Input Interface
The HMC1030LP5E inputs are broadband matched to single-ended 50 Ohm with the conguration shown below.
The interface and requires only two external DC blocking capacitors and an external 50 Ohm resistor over the entire
frequency band of operation.
The integrated broadband single-ended input interface of HMC1030LP5E eliminates the requirement for an external
balun transformer or matching network and provides a compact, broadband solution.
Note that the provided single-ended input interface
covers the whole operating spectrum of the
HMC1030LP5E and does not require matching
tuning for different frequencies. The performance of
the HMC1030LP5E at different frequencies is shown

HMC1030LP5E
DUAL RMS POWER DETECTOR
DC - 3.9 GHz
v0 3.1113
The HMC1030LP5E integrates two HMC1021LP4E RMS detection channels with shared bias and control circuitry.
Proprietary design techniques enable extremely good matching between channels over a wide range of input
frequencies with low temperature drift.
Channel Matching
Part-to-part variations for single channel RMS detectors complicate simultaneous power readings. Simultaneous
signal power measurements are particularly useful for automatic gain/level control and VSWR measurements. When
separate power detectors are used, the lack of an accurate match between the power detectors result in measurement
errors. Calibration and compensation methods are required to counteract the differences between the separate power
detectors. The HMC1030LP5 dual RMS detector greatly simplies that activity, and will reliably produce more accurate
measurements.
The HMC1030LP5E provides industry leading channel matching performance with the use of proprietary techniques.
The channel mismatch is typically less than 100 mV over the specied temperature and frequency range with the
integrated broadband single-ended input interface.

Channel Isolation/Interference
Off-chip interference between channels should be minimized with good RF board design practices and the quality of
the soldered connections.
On-chip inter-channel interference, manifests itself as the variation on one detector output due to a relatively strong
signal present at the other detector input. Quantitatively, the input-output channel isolation is dened as the difference
between the input power levels at both channels when the interfering (higher power level) channel causes a 1 dB
measurement error in the victim channel. Worst case channel interference occurs when victim channel has an input
signal level just over its detection threshold.
Input-Output Channel isolation for HMC1030LP5E is:
55 dB input-output isolation at 0.9 GHz
49 dB input-output isolation up to 2.2 GHz
40 dB input-output isolation up to 3.9 GHz.

HMC1030LP5E
DUAL RMS POWER DETECTOR
DC - 3.9 GHz
v0 3.1113
Envelope Detector Outputs
The HMC1030LP5E features envelope detection for both channels. The ETA & ETB outputs provide a linearly scaled
replica of the instantaneous envelope of the modulated RF signal for modulation bandwidths up to 150 MHz at for
both channels. For optimum performance, the ETA & ETB pins of the HMC1030LP5E should be terminated with a
560 Ohm load resistor to GND. Note that any capacitive loading on the ETA & ETB pins would reduce the modulation
bandwidth of the envelope detection. The envelope outputs have a conversion gain of 15V/V with an output voltage
ranging from 1.0V to 2.1V.
If the same input signal frequency is applied to both channels, the interference will occur as a phase delay.
A slight offset in signal frequency between the two channels can be seen as a ripple at the output of the channel with
the lower power level applied at its input. Peaks in the output ripple correspond to the worst-case phase shift for input-
output interference. The frequency of the output ripple will be equal to the “beat” frequency between the two channels.
The magnitude of the output ripple will depend on the SCI (integration) settings and offset capacitors connected to
COFA & COFB pins, respectively. The output ripple is reduced by increasing the value of the SCI setting, thereby
decreasing the integrator bandwidth. The data was collected using a 1 kHz offset between the channels.

HMC1030LP5E
DUAL RMS POWER DETECTOR
DC - 3.9 GHz
v0 3.1113
Channel Difference Outputs
HMC1030LP5E features OUTP and OUTN “channel difference” outputs that can be used differentially or single-
ended. The OUTP and OUTN outputs provide direct read of input signal power ratio between the two channels. The
OUTP and OUTN are connected to FBKA and FBKB pins respectively. The OUTP and OUTN are dened with the
following equations:
OUTP = RMSA - RMSB + VLVL
OUTN = RMSB - RMSA + VLVL
Where, the VLVL is the common mode reference level applied at the VLVL pin. The VLVL pin can be connected to
VREF2 output to provide a nominal base voltage of 2.5V. Optionally; external bias voltage can be applied to VLVL.
The waveform below shows the HMC1030LP5E’s envelope detector response to an RF input signal with a 100 MHz
modulation bandwidth.

HMC1030LP5E
DUAL RMS POWER DETECTOR
DC - 3.9 GHz
v0 3.1113
The HMC1030LP5E features digital input pins (SCI1-SCI3) that control the internal integration time of the RMS detector.
The RMS output transient response is determined by the digital integration controls, and output load conditions.
The SCI3 is the most signicant bit, and the longest integration time is for SCI=111.
Using larger values of SCI will narrow the operating bandwidth of the integrator, resulting in a longer averaging
time interval and a more ltered output signal. It will also slow the power detector’s transient response. A larger
SCI value favors output accuracy over speed. For the fastest possible transient settling time,s set SCI to 000. This
conguration will operate the integrator at its widest possible bandwidth, resulting in short averaging time-interval
and an output signal with little ltering. For most applications an SCI setting may be selected to maintain a balance
between speed and accuracy. Furthermore, error performance over modulation bandwidth is dependent on the SCI
setting. For example modulations with relatively low frequency components and high crest factors may require higher
SCI (integration) settings.
Excessive loading at the RMS output impacts the transient response. It is recommended to keep load resistance
above 500 Ohm.
For increased load drive capability, consider a buffer amplier on the RMS output. Using an integrating amplier on
the RMS output allows for an alternative treatment for faster settling times. An external amplier optimized for transient
settling can also provide additional RMS ltering when operating HMC1030LP5E with a lower SCI value.

LOG-Slope and Intercept
The HMC1030LP5E provides for an adjustment of output scale with the use of integrated operational ampliers for
both channels. Log-slope and intercept can be adjusted to “magnify” a specic portion of the input sensing range, and
to fully utilize the dynamic range of the RMS outputs.
A log-slope of 37 mV/dB (@1900 MHz) is set by connecting RMS Output to VSET through a resistor network for B=1
(see application schematic). The log-slope is adjusted by using the appropriate resistors RFBKA, RFBKB, RSHUNTA,
RSHUNTB on the RMSA/RMSB and VSETA/VSETB pins. Log-intercept is adjusted by applying DC voltage to the
VBLINEA and /VBLINEB.
Due to the 15k Ohm input resistance at the VSETA/VSETB pins, moderately low resistance values should be used to
minimize the scaling errors. Very low resistor values will reduce the load driving capabilities of RMSA/RMSB outputs
while larger values will result in scaling errors and increase of the temperature errors because of the mismatch of the
on-chip and external resistor temperature coefficients.

When RFBK=0 to set VRMS=VSET, then B=1/2.
If RSET is not populated, then B =1/2 * (RFBK/ (RFBK // RSHUNT)) and intercept is at nominal value.
Note: Avoid excessive loading of the RMS output; keep CLOAD < 35 pF, and RLOAD > 375 Ohm
Example: The logarithmic slope can be simply increased by choosing appropriate RFBK and RSHUNT values while not

DC Offset Compensation Loop
Internal DC offsets, which are input signal dependant, require continuous cancellation. Offset cancellation is a critical
function needed for maintenance of measurement accuracy and sensitivity. The DC offset cancellation loop performs
this function, and its response is largely dened by the capacitances (COFS) connected between COFPA&COFNA pins
and between COFPB&COFNB pins. The COFS capacitors sets the loop bandwidth of the DC offset compensations.
Higher COFS values are required for measuring lower RF frequencies. The optimal loop bandwidth setting will allow
internal offsets to be cancelled at a minimally acceptable speed.
DC Offset Cancellation Loop Bandwidth , Hz
For example: loop bandwidth for DC cancellation with COFS = 1nF, bandwidth is ~62 kHz
Standby Mode
The ENX pin can be used to force the power detector into a low-power standby mode. As ENX is deactivated, power
is restored to all of the circuits. There is no memory of previous conditions. Coming out of stand by, internal integration
and COFS capacitors will require recharging, so if large SCI values or large COFS capacitor values have been
chosen, the wake-up time will be lengthened.
Modulation Performance – Crest factor performance
The HMC1030LP5E is able to detect the average power of RF signals with complex modulation schemes with
exceptional accuracy. The proprietary RMS detection core is optimized to accurately detect the RMS power of the
modulated RF signals with very high crest factors. This crest factor immune detection architecture of HMC1030LP5E
results in detection accuracy of better than 0.2 dB over the entire operating frequency and temperature range,
compared with the CW response under actual WCDMA4TM test signals shown below:

Due to part-to-part variations in log-slope and log-intercept, a system-level calibration is recommended to satisfy
absolute accuracy requirements. When performing this calibration, choose at least two test points: near the top-end
and bottom-end of the measurement range. It is best to measure the calibration points in the regions (of frequency and
amplitude) where accuracy is most important. Derive the log-slope and log-intercept, and store them in non-volatile
memory.
For example if the following two calibration points were measured at 2.35 GHz:
With Vrms = 2.34V at Pin = -7 dBm,
and Vrms=1.84V at Pin = -16 dBm
Slope Calibration Constant = SCC
SCC = (-16+7)/(1.84-2.34) = 18 dB/V
Intercept Calibration Constant = ICC
ICC = Pin – SCC*Vrms = -7 – 18.0 * 2.34 = -49.12 dBm
Now performing a power measurement:
Vrms measures 2.13V
[Measured Pin] = [Measured Vrms]*SCC + ICC
[Measured Pin] = 2.13*18.0 – 49.12 = -10.78 dBm
An error of only 0.22 dB
Factory system calibration measurements should be made using an input signal representative of the application. If
the power detector will operate over a wide range of frequencies, choose a central frequency for calibration.
Layout Considerations
• Mount RF input coupling capacitors close to the IN+ and IN- pins.
• Solder the heat slug on the package underside to a grounded island which can draw heat away from the die
with low thermal impedance. The grounded island should be at RF ground potential.
• Connect power detector ground to the RF ground plane, and mount the supply decoupling capacitors close
to the supply pins.
Denitions:
• Log-slope: slope of PIN –> VRMS transfer characteristic. In units of mV/dB
• Log-intercept: x-axis intercept of PIN –> VRMS transfer characteristic. In units of dBm.
• RMS Output Error: The difference between the measured PIN and actual PIN using a line of best t.
[measured_PIN] = [measured_VRMS] / [best-t-slope] + [best-t-intercept], dBm
• Input Dynamic Range: the range of average input power for which there is a corresponding RMS output
voltage with “RMS Output Error” falling within a specic error tolerance.
• Crest Factor: Peak power to average power ratio for time-varying signals.
