VMMK-3313
15 - 33 GHz Directional Detector in SMT Package
Data Sheet
Description
The VMMK-3313 is a small and easy-to-use, broadband,
directional detector operating in various frequency bands
from 15 to 33 GHz with typical insertion loss of 0.5 dB. It is
housed in the Avago Technologies’ industry-leading and
revolutionary sub-miniature chip scale package (GaAsCap
wafer scale leadless package) which is small and ultra thin
yet can be handled and placed with standard 0402 pick
and place assembly equipment. The VMMK-3313 provides
a wide detecting power level from -5 to +30 dBm with
excellent input and output return losses. A typical of 15 dB
directivity is provided, and the detector requires only 1.5 V
DC biasing with small current drawn of 0.17 mA.

VMMK-3313 Biasing Information
Biasing and Operation
The VMMK-3313 is a 3 terminal device consisting of a
“through” 50 ohm line connecting directly between the RF
Input and RF Output ports and a directional coupler with a
full wave detector that provides a DC output proportional
to RF power input. As with any high frequency device,
good grounding is required on the common port under
the device for it to produce low loss in the “through” mode.
A suggested PCB layout with appropriate grounding will
be cover later in this application section.
With only 3 terminals available, the DC bias and detected
voltage are internally DC coupled to the input and output
terminals respectively. The key to successful operation
of the VMMK-3313 is the use of low loss bias decoupling
networks connected to both the RF Input and the RF
Output ports. Figure 7 shows a simple biasing circuit.
The bias decoupling networks provide a low loss AC
coupled RF path to the device, a means of biasing the
device on the input, and a means of extracting the detected
voltage on the output of the device. The detector needs
2 DC blocking caps, C1 and C2, on the input and output
ports. This can be accomplished by printing coupled lines
on the PCB or using SMT capacitors (ATC 600 series) with
bias

values chosen for the frequency of operation. All SMT
components are recommended to be no larger than 0402
size. Nominal bias voltage of 1.5 V or 0.14 mA is required
for proper operation. Biasing on the input is by a way of a
large value resistor R1. Its value can be computed using
the following equation:
R1 = (Vb -1.5)/0.00014
where Vb is the supply voltage.
Detected DC voltage is extracted on the output by a way
of a large value resistor R2, in the range of 10 k. Bypassing
capacitors C3 and C4 are needed to prevent RF in uence
on the dc lines. Suggested value for bypass capacitors is
1 pF.
At zero RF input power, and at 1.5 V supply bias, a nominal
63 mV o set voltage appears at the detected output port.
The internal output source resistance for the detector is
approximately 20 k. Resistor R3 can be used as an
external load resistor for the detector. Its value can be
optimized for the desired Vout vs. RF input curve.
Figure 8 shows a VMMK-3313 characterization PCB used
to obtain the Vdet vs. Input Power characterization data
from 15 to 33 GHz. For ease in broadband characteriza-
tion, two external 45 MHz – 50 GHz Bias Networks (HP
11612B) were used.

S Parameter Measurements
The S-parameters are measured on a 0.016 inch thick
RO4003 printed circuit test board, using 300 m G-S-G
(ground signal ground) probes. Coplanar waveguide is
used to provide a smooth transition form the probes to
the device under test. The presence of the ground plane
on top of the test board results in excellent grounding
at the device under test. A combination of SOLT (Short –
Open – Load – Thru) and TRL (Thru – Re ect – Line) cali-
bration techniques are used to correct for the e ects of
the test board, resulting in accurate device S parameters.

ESD Precautions
Note: These devices are ESD sensitive. The following pre-
cautions are strongly recommended. Ensure that an ESD
approved carrier is used when die are transported from
one destination to another. Personal grounding is to be
worn at all times when handling these devices. For more
detail, refer to Avago Application Note A004R: Electro-
static Discharge Damage and Control.
