The LT
®
5503 is a front-end transmitter IC designed for low
voltage operation. The IC contains a high frequency quadra-
ture modulator with a variable gain amplifier (VGA) and a
balanced mixer. The modulator includes a precision 90°
phase shifter which allows direct modulation of an RF
signal by the baseband I and Q signals.
In a superheterodyne system, the mixer can be used to
generate the high-frequency RF input for the modulator by
mixing the system’s 1st and 2nd local oscillators.
The LT5503 modulator output P 1dB is –3dBm at 2.5GHz.
The VGA allows output power reduction in three steps up
to 13dB with digital control. The baseband inputs are
internally biased for maximum input voltage swing at low
supply voltage. If needed, they can be driven with external
bias voltages.

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.

External component values on the final test circuit shown in
Figure 2 are optimized for operation in the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz band.
Note 3:
Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C temperature range are
assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process
controls.
