LT5506
40MHz to 500MHz
Quadrature Demodulator
with VGA
DESCRIPTIO
The LT
®
5506 is a 40MHz to 500MHz monolithic integrated
quadrature demodulator with variable gain amplifier (VGA),
designed for low voltage operation. It supports standards
that use a linear modulation format. The chip consists of
a VGA, quadrature down-converting mixers and lowpass
noise filters. The LO port consists of a divide-by-two stage
and LO buffers. The IC provides all building blocks for IF
down-conversion to I and Q baseband signals with a single
supply voltage of 1.8V to 5.25V. The VGA gain has a linear-
in-dB relationship to the control input voltage. Hard-clip-
ping amplifiers at the mixer outputs reduce the recovery
time from a signal overload condition. The lowpass filters
reduce the out-of-band noise and spurious frequency
components. The cut-off frequency of the noise filters is
approximately 8.8MHz. The external 2xLO frequency is
required to be twice the IF input frequency for the mixers.
The standby mode provides reduced supply current and
fast transient response into the normal operating mode
when the I/Q outputs are AC-coupled to a baseband chip.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C temperature range are
assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process
controls.
Note 3:
Tests are performed as shown in the configuration of Figure 6. The
IF input transformer loss is substracted from the measured values.
Note 4:
Power gain is defined here as the I (or Q) output power into a 4kΩ
differential load, divided by the IF input power in dB. To calculate the
voltage gain between the differential I output (or Q output) and the IF
input, including ideal matching network, 10 • log(4kΩ/50) = 19dB has to
be added to this power gain.
Note 5:
If a narrow-band match is used in the 2xLO path instead of a 1:2
transformer with 240Ω shunt resistor, 2xLO input power can be reduced
to –10dBm, without degrading the phase imbalance. See Figure 11 and
Figure 6.
Note 6:
Differential between I
OUT+
and I
OUT–
(or differential between
Q
OUT+
and Q
OUT–
).
Note 7:
The gain control voltage V
CTRL
is set in such a way that the
differential output voltage between I
OUT+
and I
OUT–
(or differential between
Q
OUT+
and Q
OUT–
) is 800mV
P-P
, with the given input power P
IF
.
Note 8:
The typical parameter is defined as the mean of the absolute
values of the data distribution.
