PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The ADL5385 is a silicon, monolithic, quadrature modulator designed for use from 50 MHz to 2200 MHz. Its excellent phase accuracy and amplitude balance enable both high performance intermediate frequency (IF) and direct radio frequency (RF) modulation for communication systems. The AD5385 takes the signals from two differential baseband inputs and modulates them onto two carriers in quadrature with each other. The two internal carriers are derived from a single-ended, external local oscillator input signal at twice the frequency as the desired carrier output. The two modulated signals are summed together in a differential-to-single-ended amplifier designed to drive 50 loads. The ADL5385 can be used as either an IF or a direct-to-RF modulator in digital communication systems. The wide baseband input bandwidth allows for either baseband drive or drive from a complex IF. Typical applications are in radio-link transmitters, cable modem termination systems, and broadband wireless access systems. The ADL5385 is fabricated using the Analog Devices, Inc., advanced silicon germanium bipolar process and is packaged in a 24-lead, Pb-free LFCSP_VQ with exposed paddle. Performance is specified over -40C to +85C. A Pb-free evaluation board is also available. Rev. 0 Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.

LO Port Input Return Loss vs. Frequency Rev. 0 | Page 11 of 24 ADL5385 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION OVERVIEW V-TO-I CONVERTER The ADL5385 can be divided into five sections: the local oscillator (LO) interface, the baseband voltage-to-current (V-to-I) converter, the mixers, the differential-to-single-ended (D-to-S) amplifier, and the bias circuit. A detailed block diagram of the device is shown in Figure 26. The differential baseband input voltages that are applied to the baseband input pins are fed to a pair of common-emitter, voltage-to-current converters. The output currents then modulate the two half-frequency LO carriers in the mixer stage. ENBL BIAS IBBP TEMPERATURE SENSOR MIXERS The ADL5385 has two double-balanced mixers: one for the inphase channel (I channel) and one for the quadrature channel (Q channel). These mixers are based on the Gilbert cell design of four cross-connected transistors. The output currents from the two mixers are summed together in the resistor-inductor (RL) loads in the D-to-S amplifier. TEMP IBBN D-TO-S AMPLIFIER The output D-to-S amplifier consists of two emitter followers driving a totem-pole output stage. Output impedance is established by the emitter resistors in the output transistors. The output of this stage connects to the output (VOUT) pin.

ADL5385 Block Diagram A band gap reference circuit generates the proportional-toabsolute-temperature (PTAT) as well as temperature-independent reference currents used by different sections. The band-gap circuit is turned on by a logic HIGH at the ENBL pin, which in turn powers up the whole device. A PTAT voltage output is available at the TEMP pin, which can be used for temperature monitoring as well as for temperature compensation purposes. The LO interface generates two LO signals at 90 of phase difference to drive two mixers in quadrature. Baseband signals are converted into currents by the V-to-I converters that feed into the two mixers. The outputs of the mixers are combined in the differential-to-single-ended amplifier, which provides a 50 output interface. Reference currents to each section are generated by the bias circuit. A detailed description of each section follows. LO INTERFACE The LO interface consists of a buffer amplifier followed by a pair of frequency dividers that generate two carriers at half the input frequency and in quadrature with each other. Each carrier is then amplified and amplitude-limited to drive the doublebalanced mixers. Rev. 0 | Page 12 of 24 ADL5385 RF Output BASIC CONNECTIONS The RF output is available at the VOUT pin (Pin 7). This pin must also be ac-coupled. The VOUT pin has a nominal broadband impedance of 50 and does not need further external matching. Figure 27 shows the basic connections for the ADL5385.

Adjacent pins of the same name can be tied together and decoupled with a 0.1 F capacitor. These capacitors are located as close as possible to the device. The power supply can range from 4.75 V to 5.5 V. The COM1 pin, COM2 pin, and COM3 pin are tied to the same ground plane through low impedance paths. The exposed paddle on the underside of the package is also soldered to a low thermal and electrical impedance ground plane. If the ground plane spans multiple layers on the circuit board, they should be stitched together with nine vias under the exposed paddle. The Analog Devices AN-772 application note discusses the thermal and electrical grounding of the LFCSP in greater detail. Baseband Inputs The baseband inputs QBBP, QBBN, IBBP, and IBBN must be driven from a differential source. The nominal drive level of 1.4 V p-p differential (700 mV p-p on each pin) is biased to a common-mode level of 500 mV dc. The dc common-mode bias level for the baseband inputs can range from 400 mV to 600 mV. This results in a reduction in the usable input ac swing range. The nominal dc bias of 500 mV allows for the largest ac swing, limited on the bottom end by the ADL5385 input range and on the top end by the output compliance range on most Analog Devices DACs. -58 -62 -66 -70 -74 -78 -82 -86 06118-029 C14 0.1F Carrier feedthrough results from minute dc offsets that occur between each of the differential baseband inputs. In an ideal modulator, the quantities (VIOPP - VIOPN) and (VQOPP - VQOPN) are equal to zero, and this results in no carrier feedthrough. In a real modulator, those two quantities are nonzero and, when mixed with the LO, result in a finite amount of carrier feedthrough. The ADL5385 is designed to provide a minimal amount of carrier feedthrough. If even lower carrier feedthrough levels are required, minor adjustments can be made to the (VIOPP - VIOPN) and (VQOPP - VQOPN) offsets. The I-channel offset is held constant while the Q-channel offset is varied until a minimum carrier feedthrough level is obtained. The Q-channel offset required to achieve this minimum is held constant while the offset on the I-channel is adjusted, until a better minimum is reached. Through two iterations of this process, the carrier feedthrough can be reduced to as low as the output noise. The ability to null is sometimes limited by the resolution of the offset adjustment. Figure 28 shows the relationship of carrier feedthrough vs. dc offset. -90 -94 360 VOUT 7 VPOS 6 COM1 3 NC 1 NC 2 NC 24 VPS3 C12 0.1F 5 COM1 R12 0 23 VPS3 Carrier Feedthrough Nulling TEMP 420 RTEMP 200 300 EXPOSED PADDLE VPS1 8 C16 0.1F 240 VPS1 9 ENBL R22 10k VPOS C15 OPEN R13 0 180 4 x 4 LFCSP ENB 120 TEMP 10 ADL5385 The carrier feedthrough and sideband suppression performance of the ADL5385 can be improved through the use of optimization techniques.

Carrier Feedthrough vs. DC Offset Voltage at 450 MHz A single-ended LO signal is applied to the LOIP pin through an ac coupling capacitor. The recommended LO drive power is -7 dBm. The LO return pin, LOIN, must be ac-coupled to ground though a low impedance path. Note that throughout the nulling process, the dc bias for the baseband inputs remains at 500 mV. When no offset is applied, The nominal LO drive of -7 dBm can be increased to up to +5 dBm. The effect of LO power on sideband suppression and carrier feedthrough is shown in Figure 15 and Figure 19.

It is often desirable to perform a one-time carrier null calibration. This is usually performed at a single frequency.

Carrier Feedthrough vs. Frequency After Nulling at 350 MHz Figure 30. Sideband Suppression vs. Quadrature Phase Error for Various Quadrature Amplitude Offsets Figure 30 underscores the fact that adjusting one parameter improves the sideband suppression only to a point; the other parameter must also be adjusted. For example, if the amplitude offset is 0.25 dB, improving the phase imbalance better than 1 does not yield any improvement in the sideband suppression. For optimum sideband suppression, an iterative adjustment between phase and amplitude is required. The sideband suppression nulling can be performed either through adjusting the gain for each channel or through the modification of the phase and gain of the digital data coming from the digital signal processor.

These DACs feature an output current swing from 0 to 20 mA, and the interface described in this section can be used with any DAC that has a similar output.

The baseband inputs of the ADL5385 require a dc bias of 500 mV. The average output current on each of the outputs of the AD9777 is 10 mA. Therefore, a single 50 resistor to ground from each of the DAC outputs results in an average current of 10 mA flowing through each of the resistors, thus producing the desired 500 mV dc bias for the inputs to the ADL5385. ADL5385 73 06118-032 DAC MODULATOR INTERFACING 0.2 The AD9777 output currents have a swing that ranges from 0 to 20 mA. With the 50 resistors in place, the ac voltage swing going into the ADL5385 baseband inputs ranges from 0 V to 1 V. A full-scale sine wave out of the AD9777 can be described as a 1 V p-p single-ended (or 2 V p-p differential) sine wave with a 500 mV dc bias. 0 10 100 1000 10000 RL () Figure 33. Relationship Between AC Swing-Limiting Resistor and Peak-to-Peak Voltage Swing with 50 Bias-Setting Resistors Filtering Limiting the AC Swing There are situations in which it is desirable to reduce the ac voltage swing for a given DAC output current. This can be achieved through the addition of another resistor to the interface. This resistor is placed in shunt between each side of the differential pair, as illustrated in Figure 32. It has the effect of reducing the ac swing without changing the dc bias already established by the 50 resistors. When driving a modulator from a DAC, it is necessary to introduce a low-pass filter between the DAC and the modulator to reduce the DAC images. The interface for setting up the biasing and ac swing lends itself well to the introduction of such a filter. The filter can be inserted in between the dc bias setting resistors and the ac swing-limiting resistor, thus establishing the input and output impedances for the filter. Examples of filters are discussed in the 155 MBPS (STM-1) 128 QAM Transmitter and the CMTS Transmitter Application sections.

Because the TxDAC output and the IQ modulator inputs operate at the same bias levels of 0.5 V, a simple dc-coupled connection can be implemented without any active or passive level shifting. The bias level and modulator drive level is set by the 50 ground-referenced resistors and the 100 shunt resistors, respectively (see the DAC Modulator Interfacing section). A baseband filter is placed between the bias and signal swing resistors.

Spectral Components for Output Frequencies from 50 MHz to 1000 MHz SPECTRAL PRODUCTS FROM HARMONIC MIXING RF SECOND-ORDER PRODUCTS For broadband applications such as cable TV head-end modulators, special attention must be paid to harmonics of the LO. Figure 39 shows the level of these harmonics (out to 3 GHz) as a function of the output frequency from 50 MHz to 1000 MHz, in a single-sideband (SSB) test configuration, with a baseband signal of 1 MHz and a SSB level of approximately -5 dBm. To read this plot correctly, first pick the output frequency of interest on the trace called POUT. The associated harmonics can be read off the harmonic traces at multiples of this frequency. For example, at an output frequency of 500 MHz, the fundamental power is -5 dBm. The power of the second (P2fc - BB) and third (P3fc + BB) harmonics is -63 dBm (at 1000 MHz) and -16 dBm (at 1500 MHz), respectively. Of particular importance are the products from odd-harmonics of the LO, generated from the switching operation in the mixers. A two-tone RF output signal produces second-order spectral components at sum and difference frequencies. In broadband systems, these intermodulation products fall inside the carrier or in the adjacent channels. Output second-order RF intermodulation intercept is defined as where PIM(RF) is the level of the intermodulation product at FOUT1 + FOUT2. OIP2_RF levels from a two-tone test are plotted as a function of carrier frequency in Figure 40, where the baseband tones are 3.5 MHz and 4.5 MHz at -5 dBm each. 70 60 50 OIP2_RF (dBm) 40 30 20 10 0 06118-036 For cable TV operation at frequencies above approximately 500 MHz, these harmonics fall out of the band and can be filtered by a fixed filter. However, as the frequency drops below 500 MHz, these harmonics start to fall close to or inside the cable band. This calls for either limitation of the frequency range to above 500 MHz or the use of a switchable filter bank to block in-band harmonics at low frequencies.
