BASIC CONNECTIONS
RF INPUT AND MATCHING
The basic connections for operating the AD8347 are shown in
The RF input signal should be ac-coupled into the RFIP pin and
RFIN should be ac-coupled to ground. To improve broadband
matching to a 50 Ω source, a 200 Ω resistor can be connected
from the signal side of the RFIP coupling capacitor to ground.
Figure 46. The device is powered through three power supply
pins: VPS1, VPS2, and VPS3. These pins supply current to
different parts of the overall circuit. VPS1 and VPS2 power the
local oscillator (LO) and RF sections, respectively, while VPS3
powers the baseband amplifiers. Connect all of these pins to the
same supply voltage; however, separately decouple each pin
using two capacitors. 100 pF and 0.1 μF capacitors are
recommended, though values close to these can be used.
LO DRIVE INTERFACE
For optimum performance, the LO inputs, LOIN and LOIP,
should be driven differentially; the M/A-COM balun, ETC1-1-13
is recommended. Unless an ac-coupled transformer is used to
generate the differential LO, the inputs must be ac-coupled, as
shown in
Use a supply voltage in the range 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The quiescent
current is 64 mA when operating from a 5 V supply. By pulling
the ENBL pin low, the device goes into its power-down mode.
The power-down current is 400 μA when operating on a 5 V
supply and 80 μA on a 2.7 V supply.
Figure 46. To improve broadband matching to a 50 Ω
source, connect a 200 Ω shunt resistor between LOIP and LOIN.
A LO drive level of 8 dBm is recommended.
Figure 20 shows
the relationship between LO drive level, LO frequency, and
quadrature error for a typical device.
Like the supply pins, the individual sections of the circuit are
separately grounded. COM1, COM2, and COM3 provide
ground for the LO, RF, and baseband sections, respectively.
Connect all of these pins to the same low impedance ground.
A single-ended drive is also possible as shown in
this slightly increases LO leakage. Apply the LO signal through
a coupling capacitor to LOIP, and ac-couple LOIN to ground.
Because the inputs are fully differential, the drive orientation
can be reversed. As in the case of the differential drive, a 200 Ω
resistor connected across LOIP and LOIN improves the match
to a 50 Ω source.
