GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADL5801 uses a high linearity, doubly balanced, active mixer core with integrated LO buffer amplifier to provide high dynamic range frequency conversion from 10 MHz to 6 GHz. The mixer benefits from a proprietary linearization architecture that provides enhanced input IP3 performance when subject to high input levels. A bias adjust feature allows the input linearity, SSB noise figure, and dc current to be optimized using a single control pin. An optional input power detector is provided for adaptive bias control. The high input linearity allows the device to be used in demanding cellular applications where in-band blocking signals may otherwise result in degradation in dynamic performance. The adaptive bias feature allows the part to provide high input IP3 performance when presented with large blocking signals. When blockers are removed, the ADL5801 can automatically bias down to provide low noise figure and low power consumption. The balanced active mixer arrangement provides superb LO-toRF and LO-to-IF leakage, typically better than -40 dBm. The IF outputs are designed to provide a typical voltage conversion gain of 7.8 dB when loaded into a 200 load. The broad frequency range of the open-collector IF outputs allows the ADL5801 to be applied as an upconverter for various transmit applications. The ADL5801 is fabricated using a SiGe high performance IC process. The device is available in a compact 4 mm x 4 mm, 24-lead LFCSP package and operates over a -40C to +85C temperature range. An evaluation board is also available.

SPUR PERFORMANCE
All spur tables are (N x fRF) - (M x fLO) and were measured using the standard evaluation board (see the Evaluation Board section). Mixer spurious products are measured in decibels relative to the carrier (dBc) from the IF output power level. Data was measured for frequencies less than 6 GHz only. The typical noise floor of the measurement system is -100 dBm.

ADL5801 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ADL5801 includes a double-balanced active mixer with a 50 input impedance and 250 output impedance. In addition, the ADL5801 integrates a local oscillator (LO) amplifier and an RF power detector that can be used to optimize the mixer dynamic range. The RF and LO are differential, providing maximum usable bandwidth at the input and output ports. The LO also operates with a 50 input impedance and can, optionally, be operated differentially or single ended. The input, output, and LO ports can be operated over an exceptionally wide frequency range. The ADL5801 can be configured as a downconvert mixer or as an upconvert mixer. The ADL5801 can be divided into the following sections: the LO amplifier and splitter, the RF voltage-to-current (V-to-I) converter, the mixer core, the output loads, the RF detector, and the bias circuit. A simplified block diagram of the device is shown in Figure 27. The LO block generates a pair of differential LO signals to drive two mixer cores. The RF input power is converted into RF currents by the V-to-I converter that then feed into the two-mixer core. The internal differential load of the mixer provides a wideband 250 output impedance from the mixer. Reference currents to each section are generated by the bias circuit, which can be enabled or disabled using the ENBL pin. A detailed description of each section of the ADL5801 follows.

RF VOLTAGE-TO-CURRENT (V-TO-I) CONVERTER
The differential RF input signal is applied to a V-to-I converter that converts the differential input voltage to output currents. The V-to-I converter provides a 50 input impedance The V-to. I section bias current can be adjusted up or down using the VSET pin. Adjusting the current up improves IP3 and P1dB input but degrades the SSB noise figure. Adjusting the current down improves the SSB noise figure but degrades IP3 and P1dB input. Conversion gain remains nearly constant over a wide range of VSET pin settings, allowing the part to be adjusted dynamically without affecting conversion gain. The current adjustment can be made by connecting a resistor from the VSET pin to the positive supply to increase the bias current or from the VSET pin to ground to decrease the bias current. Optionally, the VSET pin can be connected to the DETO pin to provide automatic setting of the mixer core current.
MIXER CORE
The ADL5801 has a double-balanced mixer that uses high performance SiGe NPN transistors. This mixer is based on the Gilbert cell design of four cross-connected transistors.
MIXER OUTPUT LOAD
The mixer load uses a pair of 125 resistors connected to the positive supply. This provides a 250 differential output resistance. The mixer output should be pulled to the positive supply externally using a pair of RF chokes or using an output transformer with the center tap connected to the positive supply. It is possible to exclude these components when the mixer core current is low, but both P1dB input and IP3 input are then reduced. The mixer load output can operate from direct current (dc) up to approximately 600 MHz into a 200 load. For upconversion applications, the mixer load can be matched using off-chip matching components. Transmit operation up to 2 GHz is possible. See the Applications Information section for matching circuit details.

RF DETECTOR
An RF power detector is buffered from the V-to-I converter section. This detector has a power response range from approximately -25 dBm up to 0 dBm and provides a current output. The output current is designed to be connected to the VSET pin to boost the mixer core current when large RF signals are present at the mixer input. An external capacitor can be used to adjust the response time of this function. If not used, the DETO pin can be left open or connected to ground.
LO AMPLIFIER AND SPLITTER
The LO input is conditioned by a series of amplifiers to provide a well controlled and limited LO swing to the mixer core, resulting in excellent input IP3. The LO input is amplified using a broadband low noise amplifier (LNA) and is then followed by LO limiting amplifiers. The LNA input impedance is nominally 50 . The LO circuit exhibits low additive noise, resulting in an excellent mixer noise figure and output noise under RF blocking. For optimal performance, the LO inputs should be driven differentially but at lower frequencies; single-ended drive is acceptable.

ADL5801
BIAS CIRCUIT
A band gap reference circuit generates the reference currents used by mixers. The bias circuit can be enabled and disabled using the ENBL pin. If the ENBL pin is grounded or left open, the part is enabled. Pulling the ENBL pin high shuts off the bias circuit and disables the part. However, the ENBL pin does not alter the current in the LO section and, therefore, does not provide a true power-down feature. In addition, if the VSET pin is connected to the positive supply through a resistor to increase the mixer core current, this continues to provide bias current to the mixer core unless the resistor supply is also removed.

ADL5801 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
BASIC CONNECTIONS
The ADL5801 is designed to translate between radio frequencies (RF) and intermediate frequencies (IF). For both upconversion and downconversion applications, RFIP (Pin 16) and RFIN (Pin 15) must be configured as the input interfaces. IFOP (Pin 20) and IFON (Pin 21) must be configured as the output interfaces. Individual bypass capacitors are needed in close proximity to each supply pin (Pin 7, Pin 13, Pin 18, and Pin 24), the VSET control pin (Pin 10), and the DETO detector output pin (Pin 11). When the on-chip detector is chosen to form a closed loop, automatically controlling the VSET pin, R7 can be populated with a 0 resistor. Alternatively, simply use a jumper between the VSET and DETO test points for evaluation. Figure 28 illustrates the basic connections for ADL5801 operation.
IFOP T1 T5 T8
RF AND LO PORTS
The RF and LO input ports are designed for a differential input impedance of approximately 50 . Figure 29 and Figure 30 illustrate the RF and LO interfaces, respectively. It is recommended that each of the RF and LO differential ports be driven through a balun for optimum performance. It is also necessary to ac couple both RF and LO ports. Using proper value capacitors may help improve the input return loss over desired frequencies. Table 4 lists the recommended components for various RF and LO frequency bands. The characterization data is available in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.

The self-resonant frequency of the selected choke inductors must be higher than the intended IF frequency. A variety of suitable choke inductors is commercially available from manufacturers such as Coilcraft(R) and Murata. An impedance transforming network may be required to transform the final load impedance to 200 at the IF outputs.

IF PORT
The IF port features an open-collector, differential output interface. It is necessary to bias the open collector outputs using one of the schemes presented in Figure 31 and Figure 32. Figure 31 shows the use of center-tapped impedance transformers. The turns ratio of the transformer should be selected to provide the desired impedance transformation. In the case of a 50 load impedance, a 4:1 impedance ratio transformer should be used to transform the 50 load into a 200 differential load at the IF output pins. Figure 32 shows a differential IF interface where pull-up choke inductors are used to bias the open-collector outputs. The shunting impedance of the choke inductors used to couple dc current into the mixer core should be large enough at the IF frequency of operation not to load down the output current before it reaches the intended load. Additionally, the dc current handling capability of the selected choke inductors must be at least 45 mA.
