LTC5588-1
200MHz to 6000MHz
Quadrature Modulator
with Ultrahigh OIP3
DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
5588-1 is a direct conversion I/Q modulator
designed for high performance wireless applications. It
allows direct modulation of an RF signal using differential
baseband I and Q signals. It supports LTE, GSM, EDGE,
TD-SCDMA, CDMA, CDMA2000, W-CDMA, WiMax and
other communication standards. It can also be config-
ured as an image reject upconverting mixer, by applying
90° phase-shifted signals to the I and Q inputs. The I/Q
baseband inputs drive double-balanced mixers. An on-
chip balun converts the differential mixer signals to a 50Ω
single-ended RF output. Four balanced I and Q baseband
input ports are DC-coupled with a common mode volt-
age level of 0.5V. The LO path consists of an LO buffer
with single-ended or differential inputs and precision
quadrature generators to drive the mixers. The supply
voltage range is 3.15V to 3.45V. An external voltage can
be applied to the LINOPT pin to further improve 3rd-order
linearity performance. Accurate temperature dependent
calibrations can be performed using the on-chip thermistor.
