GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADL5812 uses revolutionary new broadband, square wave
limiting, local oscillator (LO) amplifiers to achieve an
wideband applications where in-band blocking signals may
otherwise result in the degradation of dynamic range. Blocker
noise figure performance is comparable to narrow-band passive
mixer designs. High linearity IF buffer amplifiers follow the
passive mixer cores, yielding typical power conversion gains of
6.7 dB, and can be used with a wide range of output
impedances. For low voltage applications, the ADL5812 is
capable of operation at voltages down to 3.6 V with
substantially reduced current. Two logic bits are provided to
individually power down (1.5 mA for both channels) the two
channels as desired.
unprecedented radio frequency (RF) bandwidth of 700 MHz
to 2800 MHz. Unlike conventional narrow-band sine wave LO
amplifier solutions, this permits the LO to be applied either
above or below the RF input over an extremely wide bandwidth.
Because energy storage elements are not used, the dc current
consumption also decreases with decreasing LO frequency.
The ADL5812 uses highly linear, doubly balanced, passive mixer
cores along with integrated RF and LO balancing circuits to
allow single-ended operation. The ADL5812 incorporates
programmable RF baluns, allowing optimal performance over
a 700 MHz to 2800 MHz RF input frequency. The balanced
passive mixer arrangement provides outstanding LO-to-RF and
LO-to-IF leakages, excellent RF-to-IF isolation, and excellent
intermodulation performance over the full RF bandwidth.
All features of the ADL5812 are controlled via a 3-wire serial
port interface, resulting in optimum performance and
minimum external components.
The ADL5812 is fabricated using a BiCMOS high performance
IC process. The device is available in a 40-lead, 6mm × 6mm,
LFCSP package and operates over a −40°C to +85°C
The balanced mixer cores also provide extremely high input
linearity, allowing the device to be used in demanding
temperature range. An evaluation board is also available.
