LA7790M
QPSK Transmitter for Cable TV
Overview
The LA7790M is a QPSK data transmitter for digital cable
TV applications. By integrating the I/Q quadrature
modulator, RF amplifier, electronic volume control, mute
control, and other functions onto a single chip, parts count
is reduced and set size is miniaturized.
Features
• Maximum RF amplifier output level of +10 dBm (75Ω
terminator), suitable for directly driving the cable.
• RF output frequency range of 5 to 70 MHz. Frequency
range selection function permits broadband designs.
• Electronic volume control for direct-current control of
RF output level.
• Muting ensures ample attenuation during periods with
no transmission.
• Support for both internal and external bias for I/Q
modulation inputs.
• Support for I/Q modulation frequencies up to 10 MHz.

1. Modulator
The modulator consists of two identical multiplier circuits, creating I and Q channels. Pins 4 & 5 and pins 8 & 9 are I
and Q channel inputs, respectively. These pins must be biased at 2.1 ± 0.2 V. Pin 6 is an internal 2.1 V bias. This
internal bias can be used if the I & Q data inputs are AC coupled, but an external bias must be used in the case of DC
coupled data inputs. Carrier suppression is improved if the offset voltages between pins 4 & 5 and pins 8 & 9 are
small.

2. Attenuator
The attenuator input signal comes from the modulator output via a high pass filter (fC = 2 MHz). The modulator
output is pin 19. Pin 19 is connected to the emitter of an NPN emitter follower through a 100 Ω resistor. The emitter
sink current is about 1 mA, but can be increased by the addition of an external resistor between pin 19 and ground.
The minimum value for the external resistor is 1.5 kΩ.
The output level of pin 19 can be adjusted using pin 21. Pin 21 is connected to the base of a PNP emitter follower
through a 300 Ω resistor. When pin 21 = 0 V, the base current is about 10 µA.

3. RF Amplifier
The RF amplifier input signal comes from the attenuator output after the harmonics are removed by the LPF. The RF
amplifier is composed of a two-stage amplifier and includes mute and power save functions.
The gain of the RF amplifier can be adjusted using the external input resistor connected to pin 22 and the external
load resistor connected to pin 1. The input of pin 22 must be AC coupled. The output of pin 1 must be connected to
VCC via a choke coil. Pin 23 (mute control) and pin 20 (power save control) are both high impedance inputs (base
current less than 10 µA). For normal operation, the voltage at pins 20 and 23 must be less than 1 V. For Mute and
Power Save operation, the voltage at pins 20 are 23 must be between VCC–1 and VCC.

4. Oscillator
The oscillator signal is divided by either 4 or 8, and supplied to the modulator as 0° and 90° switching signals. The
division mode can be selected using Band Switch 1 (pin 17).
Pin 17 = High → Modulation frequency = 1/4 oscillator frequency
Pin 17 = Low → Modulation frequency = 1/8 oscillator frequency
The oscillator requires an external coil and capacitors. Pins 14 & 15 should be DC coupled using a coil. A coil with
Qu of 30 or greater is required and the impedance between pins 14 and 15 is 6 kΩ. The value of the coupling
capacitors between pins 13 & 14 and pins 15 & 16 must be large enough so that the signal phase rotation is small.

5. Oscillator Output
The output frequency of the oscillator is equal to or half of the output frequency of the modulator. The mode is set
using Band Switch 2 (pin 12).
Pin 12 = High → Oscillator output frequency = modulator frequency
Pin 12 = Low → Oscillator output frequency = 1/2 modulator frequency
6. Band Swtich
The input circuitry of Band Switch 1 (pin 17) and Band Switch 2 (pin 12) are the same. A low setting requires a
voltage of less than 1 V at the pin. A high setting requires a voltage between VCC–1 and VCC at the pin. Settings of
low or high generate currents of ±50 µA at pins 12 and 17.
Pin 12, 17 = High → Sink current = 50 µA
Pin 12, 17 = Low → Source current = 50 µA

To get the correct 0°/90° phase switching signal for the modulator, a divide-by-four dual flip-flop is employed as
shown in the following figure.
