ADL5363 2300 MHz TO 2900 MHz Balanced Mixer, LO Buffer and RF Balun

The ADL5363 uses a highly linear, doubly balanced passive mixer core along with integrated RF and local oscillator (LO) balancing circuitry to allow for single-ended operation. The ADL5363 incorporates an RF balun to provide optimal performance over a 2300 MHz to 2900 MHz input frequency range. The balanced passive mixer arrangement provides good LO-to-RF leakage, typically better than −30 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 might otherwise result in the degradation of dynamic performance.

The ADL5363 provides two switched LO paths that can be used in TDD applications where it is desirable to rapidly switch 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 ADL5363 is capable of operation at voltages down to 3.3 V with substantially reduced current. For low voltage operation, an additional logic pin is provided to power down (<200 μA) the circuit when desired.

The ADL5363 is fabricated using a BiCMOS high performance IC process. The device is available in a 5 mm × 5 mm, 20-lead LFCSP and operates over a −40°C to +85°C temperature range. An evaluation board is also available.
