PIN FUNCTIONS (Pin Voltage is measured at VCC = VPS = VRFOUT = 2.8V) Pin No. Pin Name Applied Voltage (V) Pin Voltage (V) 1 IFinput — 1.2 2 4 GND GND — Function and Explanation This pin is the IF input pin to the double balanced mixer (DBM). The input is designed as a high impedance. The circuit helps suppress spurious signals. Also this symmetrical circuit can keep specified performance insensitive to processcondition distribution. For that reason, a double balanced mixer is adopted. GND pin. Ground pattern on the board should be formed as wide as possible. Track length should be kept as short as possible to minimize ground inductance. 3 LOinput – 2.1 Local input pin. Recommended input level is -10 to 0 dBm. 5 VCC 2.7 to 3.3 — Supply voltage pin. — This pin is the RF output from the double balanced mixer. This pin is designed as an open collector. Due to the high impedance output, this pin should be externally equipped with an LC matching circuit to the next stage. 6 RFoutput Same bias as VCC through external inductor Equivalent Circuit 5 6 3 1 2 UPC8187TB TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CURVES (Unless otherwise specified, TA = 25˚C) fRFout = 0.83 GHz RF OUTPUT POWER vs. IF INPUT POWER CONVERSION GAIN vs. LOCAL INPUT POWER 10 RF Output Power, PRFout (dBm) Conversion Gain, CG (dB) 15 10 5 0 -5 -10 -30 fIFin = 150 MHz fLOin = 980 MHz PIFin = -20 dBm VCC = 2.8 V -20 -10 0 5 0 -5 -10 fIFin = 150 MHz fLOin = 980 MHz PIFin = -5 dBm VCC = 2.8 V -15 -20 -20 -10 -20 -20 -20 -20 IF Input Power, PIFin (dBm) Local Input Power, PLOin (dBm) fRFout = 1.9 GHz RF OUTPUT POWER vs. IF INPUT POWER CONVERSION GAIN vs. LOCAL INPUT POWER 10 10 5 0 -5 fIFin = 150 MHz fLOin = 1750 MHz PIFin = -20 dBm VCC = 2.8 V -10 -10 -10 -10 -10 RF Output Power, PRFout (dBm) Conversion Gain, CG (dB) 15 0 -10 -20 -30 -30 -10 fIFin = 150 MHz fLOin = 1750 MHz PIFin = -5 dBm VCC = 2.8 V -20 -10 0 10 IF Input Power, PIFin (dBm) Local Input Power, PLOin (dBm) fRFout = 2.4 GHz RF OUTPUT POWER vs. IF INPUT POWER CONVERSION GAIN vs. LOCAL INPUT POWER 10 10 5 0 -5 fIFin = 150 MHz fLOin = 2250 MHz PIFin = -20 dBm VCC = 2.8 V -10 -30 -20 -10 0 Local Input Power, PLOin (dBm) 10 RF Output Power, PRFout (dBm) Conversion Gain, CG (dB) 15 0 -10 -20 -30 -30 fIFin = 150 MHz fLOin = 2250 MHz PIFin = -5 dBm VCC = 2.8 V -20 -10 0 IF Input Power, PIFin (dBm) 10 UPC8187TB TYPICAL SCATTERING PARAMETERS (TA = 25˚C) RF port (without matching) LO port S22 S11 1.0 GHz 1.0 GHz 2.25 GHz 2.25 GHz 1.75 GHz START STOP 0.1 GHz 3.1 GHz VCC = VRFOUT = 2.8 V parameters are monitored at DUT pins IF port S11 150 MHz START STOP 0.1 GHz 1.0 GHz 1.75 GHz START STOP 0.1 GHz 3.1 GHz UPC8187TB TEST CIRCUIT 1 (fRFout = 0.83 GHz) Strip Line C6 100 pF Spectrum Analyzer Signal Generator 1000 pF L1 6 L2 5.6 nH 50Ω RFoutput IFinput 1 12 nH C2 5 VCC GND 50 2 Signal Generator 100 pF 4 VCC C5 C4 10 pF C3 0.1 µF GND LOinput 3 C1 50 1000 pF ILLUSTRATION OF THE TEST CIRCUIT 1 ASSEMBLED ON EVALUATION BOARD COMPONENT LIST FORM Chip Capacitor Chip Inductor SYMBOL VALUE C1, C6 100 pF C4 10 pF C2, C3 1000 pF C5 0.1µF L1 12 nH L2 5.6nH 1. 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.028", Getek laminate, double sided copper 2.
