where Cext is the capacitance connected between COFF
and COFFQ.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The OQ2538HP is comprised of four DC-coupled amplifier
stages along with additional circuitry for offset
compensation and level detection.
REF and CAPA band gap output and decoupling
capacitance
The first amplifier stage contains a modified
Cherry/Hooper amplifying cell with high gain
(approximately 20 dB) and a wide bandwidth. Special
attention is paid to minimizing the equivalent input noise at
this stage, thus reducing the overall noise level. Additional
feedback is applied at the second and third stages,
improving isolation and reducing the gain to 14 dB per
stage. The last stage is an output buffer, a unity gain
amplifier, with an output impedance of 100 Ω.
To reduce band gap noise levels, a 1 nF decoupling
capacitor on CAPA is recommended. Since the band gap
is referenced to the negative supply, VEE, the decoupling
capacitor should be connected between CAPA and VEE.
The band gap voltage is present for test purposes only.
It is not intended to serve as an external reference.
RF input and output connections
The total gain of the OQ2538HP amounts to 48.5 dB, thus
providing a constant CML-compatible output signal over a
wide input signal range.
Striplines, or microstrips, with an odd mode characteristic
impedance of Zo,odd = 50 Ω must be used for the
differential RF connections on the PCB. This applies to
both the input signal pair IN and INQ and to the output
signal pair OUT and OUTQ. The two lines in each pair
should be the same length.
Two rectifier circuits are used to measure the input signal
level. Two separate RF pre-amplifiers are used to
generate the voltage gain needed to obtain a suitable
rectifier output voltage. For rectifier A the gain is
approximately 18 dB, for rectifier B it is about 14 dB.
The output of rectifier A can be used for AGC at the
pre-amplifier stage in front of the OQ2538HP. The output
of rectifier B can be used for LOS detection. There is a
linear relationship between the rectifier output voltage and
the input signal level provided the amplifiers are not
saturated.
RF input matching circuit
The input circuit for pins IN and INQ contains internal
100 Ω resistors decoupled to ground via an internal
common mode 6 pF capacitor. The topology is depicted in
Fig.3. An external 200 Ω resistor between IN and INQ is
recommended in order to match the inputs to a differential
transmission line, coupled microstrip or stripline with an
odd mode impedance Zo,odd of 50 Ω.
Because the four gain stages are DC-coupled and provide
a high overall gain, the effect of the input offset can be
considerable. The OQ2538HP features an internal offset
compensation circuit for eliminating the input offset.
The bandwidth of the offset control loop is determined by
an external capacitor.
GND

6 pF
COFF and COFFQ offset compensation
Automatic offset compensation eliminates the input offset
of the OQ2538HP. This offset cancellation influences the
low frequency gain of the amplifier stages. With a
capacitance of 100 nF between COFF and COFFQ the
loop bandwidth will be less than 1.5 kHz, small enough to
have no influence on amplifier gain over the frequencies of
interest. If the capacitor were omitted, the loop bandwidth
would be greater than 30 MHz, which would influence the
input signal gain. The loop bandwidth can be calculated
from the following formula:

In both cases, the essence of good matching is the equity
of the circuitry on both input pins. The impedance seen on
pins IN and INQ should be as equal as possible. For more
information see “Application Note AN96051” describing
the OM5801 STM16 demo board.

Matching of the main amplifier outputs, OUT and OUTQ, is
not mandatory. In most applications, the receiving end of
the transmission line will be properly matched, so very little
reflection will occur. Matching the transmitting end to
absorb these reflections is only recommended for very
sensitive applications. In such cases, 100 Ω pull-up
resistors should be connected from OUT and OUTQ to
ground, as close as possible to the IC pins. These
matching resistors will not be needed in most applications,
however. The output circuit of the OQ2538HP is depicted
in Fig.6. For more information see “Application Note
AN96051” describing the OM5801 STM16 demo board.

For single-ended excitation, separate matching networks
on IN and INQ, as depicted in Fig.5, achieve optimum
matching. Care should be taken to avoid DC loading, since
the OQ2538HP controls its own DC input voltage.
The resistors on the unused input, INQ, may be combined
for convenience.

RF gain and group delay measurements

The measurement set-up shown in Fig.7 was used to
measure the single-ended small signal gain as specified in
Chapter “Characteristics”. Since the network analyzer can
only perform single-ended measurements, the
single-ended matching scheme described above is used
to match the inputs of the OQ2538HP to 50 Ω. For greater
accuracy, the outputs are also matched. The gain
measured with this set-up is denoted by S21. Graphs of
typical S21 and group delay characteristics are shown in
Figs 8 and 9. The OQ2538HP test PCB used for these
measurements can be supplied on request.

Fig.7 S21 and group delay measurement set-up.
Although the differential voltage gain of the OQ2538HP
cannot be measured directly, it can be calculated from S21.
The differential voltage gain is 6 dB greater than the
measured S21 value, typically 46 dB (40 dB + 6 dB). If the
100 Ω matching resistors on the output are omitted, the
differential voltage gain is increased by a further 2.4 dB,
typically to 48.4 dB. This is due to the fact that the output
load is increased from 25 to 33 Ω, so the output voltage is
increased by a factor of 1.32 (2.4 dB).

Noise figure measurements
The noise figure is the ratio of signal-to-noise ratio at the input (Si/Ni) to signal-to-noise ratio at the output (So/No) of the
amplifier. This definition is true for both single-ended and differential amplifiers, provided the correct values for Si/Ni and
So/No are substituted in the formula. The noise figure is measured using the differential set-up shown in Fig.10. The total
noise on the output (No in dBm) is measured using the spectrum analyzer at the frequency of interest. From this value,
the actual (differential) noise figure for that frequency (spot noise figure) can be calculated using the following formula:

assuming log(kT) is −173.8 dBm (T = 298k) and No
measured in 1 Hz bandwidth and expressed in dBm. For
the OQ2538HP, in the differential configuration (including
the 100 Ω matching resistors), this yields a typical noise
figure of 11 dB.

the denominator is present to compensate for the fact
that S21 is the single-ended power gain, whereas the
differential power gain is applicable in this situation. Ni can
be replaced with the available noise power at the input,
which is kT under matched conditions (k is Boltzmann’s
constant). The formula expressed in dBm makes
calculation easier: F = N o – ( S 21 + 3 ) + 173.8 [ dB ] ,
While the performance of this measurement set-up cannot
match that of a dedicated noise analysis system, the
results are comparable for an amplifier with a noise figure
of 11 dB.

Fig.12 LOS detection characteristics.
VLOS − VLOSDC as a function of the input signal level
(typical) is shown in Fig.12. Note that an input signal with
the specified peak-to-peak value is applied to both IN and
INQ inputs, but with complementary phase.
AGC and AGCDC level detection
When using rectifier A as an input signal level detector, the
AGC and the AGCDC pins must be decoupled to ground
with 100 nF capacitors. The AGCDC output is intended as
a reference voltage against which the actual AGC output
voltage can be compared. This voltage difference,
VAGC − VAGCDC, can be used as a control input in an AGC
loop. A graph depicting output voltage difference as a
function of the input signal level (typical) is shown in
Fig.11. Note that an input signal with the specified
peak-to-peak value is applied to both IN and INQ inputs,
but with complementary phase.
Grounding and power supply decoupling
The ground connection on the PCB needs to be a large
copper area fill connected to a common ground plane with
as low inductance as possible, preferably positioned
directly underneath the LQFP48 package. The large area
fill will improve heat transfer to the PCB and thus aid IC
cooling.
All VEE pins (two at each corner) need to be connected to
a common supply plane with as low inductance as
possible. This plane should be decoupled to ground.
To avoid high frequency resonance, multiple bypass
capacitors should not be mounted at the same location.
To minimise low frequency switching noise in the vicinity of
the OQ2538HP, the power supply line should be filtered
once using an LC-circuit with a low cut-off frequency
(see Fig.14).
LOS and LOSDC level detection
The output of rectifier B can be used for LOS detection.
The LOSDC output provides a reference voltage against
which the voltage at the LOS output can be compared.
The voltage difference VLOS − VLOSDC can be used as
input to a LOS detection circuit. Both outputs need to be
decoupled using 100 nF capacitors. A graph depicting

will change from one reference plane to another at the
interface to the RF input and output pins. The positive
supply application is very vulnerable to interference at this
point. For a successful +5 V application, special care
should be taken when designing board layout to reduce
the influence of interference and keep the positive supply
as clean as possible.
Using alternative supply voltages
Although the OQ2538HP is intended to be used with a
single −4.5 V supply voltage, a slightly modified −5 V
supply can also be used. By connecting a Schottky diode
between the VEE power supply line and the IC, an
additional 0.5 V voltage drop is obtained, bringing the
supply voltage on the pins of the OQ2538HP within the
specified range. A BAS85 Schottky diode is
recommended. A −5 V application schematic is shown in
Fig.15.
ESD protection
Exceptions have been made to the standard ESD
protection scheme in order to achieve high frequency
performance. The inputs IN and INQ and the outputs OUT
and OUTQ have no protection against ESD.
All other pins have a standard ESD protection structure,
capable of withstanding 2 kV Human Body Model (HBM)
zappings.
Extrapolating from this case, a +5 V application is also
possible. However, care should be taken with the RF
transmission lines. The on-chip signals refer to the GND
pins, which become the positive supply pins in a +5 V
application. The external transmission lines will most likely
be referenced to system ground (VEE pins). The RF signals

Notes
1. No special cooling is required in the application if the total thermal resistance Rth(j-a) is less than 90 K/W.
2. The temperature of the PCB in the vicinity of the IC is taken to be the ambient temperature.
3. The input signal must be AC coupled to the inputs through a coupling capacitance >22 nF.
4. Vi(p-p) is the input signal on IN and INQ for full output clipping. It is assumed that both inputs carry a complementary
signal of the specified peak-to-peak value. The lower specified limit is usually called the input sensitivity. This value
is defined as a 20% increase in rise and fall times when compared to rise and fall times with a complementary input
signal of 10 mV (p-p) applied to IN and INQ.
5. The DC voltage is fixed internally; only AC-coupling of the input signal is allowed.
6. VIO = V I − V IQ
7. See Section “RF input matching circuit” for detailed information.
8. All signal ports are AC matched to 50 Ω and are measured at 1 GHz (see Fig.7). Flatness deviations are within ±3 dB
over the entire bandwidth.
9. See section “RF gain and group delay measurements”.
10. F is the noise figure for a differential application and is measured at 1 GHz. See Section “Noise figure
measurements”.
11. An external 100 nF capacitor is connected at each output to remove any spurious high frequency signals.
Any circuitry driven from these pins must have an input impedance >50 kΩ.
12. The specified values are for indication only. The range is not production tested and guaranteed.
13. Voltage difference between AGC (LOS) and AGCDC (LOSDC), measured with a differential input signal of
600 mV (p-p) to pins IN and INQ.
14. The offset is measured with inputs IN and INQ shorted together.
15. The band gap voltage may not be used as an external reference.
16. Both outputs are connected to ground through a 50 Ω load resistance and carry complementary signals.
17. The output levels are dependent on load impedance. The specified values assume an external load impedance of
50 Ω. If the external 100 Ω matching resistors are connected at pins OUT and OUTQ, the output levels will fall to
75% of the specified values. (see also Section “RF gain and group delay measurements”).

If wave soldering cannot be avoided, the following
conditions must be observed:
SOLDERING
Introduction
• A double-wave (a turbulent wave with high upward
pressure followed by a smooth laminar wave)
soldering technique should be used.
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all IC
packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when
through-hole and surface mounted components are mixed
on one printed-circuit board. However, wave soldering is
not always suitable for surface mounted ICs, or for
printed-circuits with high population densities. In these
situations reflow soldering is often used.
• The footprint must be at an angle of 45° to the board
direction and must incorporate solder thieves
downstream and at the side corners.
Even with these conditions, do not consider wave
soldering LQFP packages LQFP48 (SOT313-2),
LQFP64 (SOT314-2) or LQFP80 (SOT315-1).
This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology.
A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in
our “IC Package Databook” (order code 9398 652 90011).
During placement and before soldering, the package must
be fixed with a droplet of adhesive. The adhesive can be
applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe
dispensing. The package can be soldered after the
adhesive is cured.
Reflow soldering
Reflow soldering techniques are suitable for all LQFP
packages.
Maximum permissible solder temperature is 260 °C, and
maximum duration of package immersion in solder is
10 seconds, if cooled to less than 150 °C within
6 seconds. Typical dwell time is 4 seconds at 250 °C.
Reflow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of
fine solder particles, flux and binding agent) to be applied
to the printed-circuit board by screen printing, stencilling or
pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement.
A mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal
of corrosive residues in most applications.
Several techniques exist for reflowing; for example,
thermal conduction by heated belt. Dwell times vary
between 50 and 300 seconds depending on heating
method. Typical reflow temperatures range from
215 to 250 °C.
Repairing soldered joints
Fix the component by first soldering two diagonallyopposite end leads. Use only a low voltage soldering iron
(less than 24 V) applied to the flat part of the lead. Contact
time must be limited to 10 seconds at up to 300 °C. When
using a dedicated tool, all other leads can be soldered in
one operation within 2 to 5 seconds between
270 and 320 °C.
Preheating is necessary to dry the paste and evaporate
the binding agent. Preheating duration: 45 minutes at
45 °C.
Wave soldering
Wave soldering is not recommended for LQFP packages.
This is because of the likelihood of solder bridging due to
closely-spaced leads and the possibility of incomplete
solder penetration in multi-lead devices.
