ADL5358 500 MHz to 1700 MHz, Dual-Balanced Mixer, LO Buffer, IF Amplifier, and RF Balun
The ADL5358 uses a highly linear, doubly balanced, passive
mixer core along with integrated RF and local oscillator (LO)
balancing circuitry to allow single-ended operation. The
ADL5358 incorporates the RF baluns, allowing for optimal
performance over a 500 MHz to 1700 MHz RF input frequency
range. Performance is optimized for RF frequencies from 500 MHz
to 1200 MHz using a high-side LO and RF frequencies from
1200 MHz to 1700 MHz using a low-side LO. The balanced
passive mixer arrangement provides good LO-to-RF leakage,
typically better than −20 dBm, and excellent intermodulation
performance. The balanced mixer core also provides extremely
high input linearity, allowing the device to be used in demanding
cellular applications where in-band blocking signals may otherwise
result in the degradation of dynamic performance. A high linearity
IF buffer amplifier follows the passive mixer core to yield a
typical power conversion gain of 8.3 dB and can be used with
a wide range of output impedances.
The ADL5358 provides two switched LO paths that can be used
in TDD applications where it is desirable to ping-pong between
two local oscillators. LO current can be externally set using a
resistor to minimize dc current commensurate with the desired
level of performance. For low voltage applications, the ADL5358 is
capable of operation at voltages down to 3.3 V with substantially
reduced current. Under low voltage operation, an additional logic
pin is provided to power down (<300 µA) the circuit when desired.
The ADL5358 is fabricated using a BiCMOS high performance
IC process. The device is available in a 6 mm × 6 mm, 36-lead
LFCSP and operates over a −40°C to +85°C temperature range.
An evaluation board is also available.
