Product Overview
The LMH2110TM/NOPB is an 8 GHz logarithmic RMS power detector manufactured by Texas Instruments, featuring a 45 dB dynamic range in a tiny 6-bump DSBGA (YFQ) package. The device provides a temperature-insensitive output voltage that is linear-in-dB with respect to RF input power, making it particularly suited for accurate power measurement of modulated signals with high peak-to-average ratios such as W-CDMA and LTE.
