LT5575
800MHz to 2.7GHz
High Linearity Direct Conversion
Quadrature Demodulator
DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
5575 is an 800MHz to 2.7GHz direct conversion
quadrature demodulator optimized for high linearity
receiver applications. It is suitable for communications
receivers where an RF signal is directly converted into I
and Q baseband signals with bandwidth up to 490MHz.
The LT5575 incorporates balanced I and Q mixers, LO
buffer amplifiers and a precision, high frequency quadrature
phase shifter. The integrated on-chip broadband transform-
ers provide 50Ω single-ended interfaces at the RF and LO
inputs. Only a few external capacitors are needed for its
application in an RF receiver system.
The high linearity of the LT5575 provides excellent spur-
free dynamic range for the receiver. This direct conversion
demodulator can eliminate the need for intermediate fre-
quency (IF) signal processing, as well as the corresponding
requirements for image filtering and IF filtering. Channel
filtering can be performed directly at the outputs of the I
and Q channels. These outputs can interface directly to
channel-select filters (LPFs) or to baseband amplifiers.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
Tests are performed as shown in the configuration of Figure 1.
Note 3:
Specifications over the –40˚C to 85˚C temperature range are
assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical
process control.
Note 4:
DSB Noise Figure is measured with a small-signal noise source
at the baseband frequency of 15MHz without any filtering on the RF input
and no other RF signal applied.
Note 5:
900MHz performance is measured with external RF and LO
matching. The optional output capacitors C1-C4 (10pF) are also used for
best IIP2 performance.
Note 6:
For these measurements, the complementary outputs (e.g., I
OUT +
,
I
OUT –
) were combined using a 180˚ phase shift combiner.
Note 7:
Large-signal noise figure is measured at an output frequency of
198.7MHz with RF input signal at f
LO
–1MHz. Both RF and LO input signals
are appropriately bandpass filtered, as well as baseband output.
