The TQ5132 specs are designed to be compatible with IS98 Interim Standard for Dual-Mode CDMA cellular systems. The low noise mixer features an AMPS control pin for Gain, Intercept and Current (GIC pin) and it has excellent intermodulation characteristics with high intercept point in all modes. For optimum performance the TQ5132 RF frequency of operation should be from 869 to 894 MHz. The IF range is from 85 to 130 MHz and its injection mode for the local oscillator is high side. 1.0 0.5 2.0 A Input Impedance 0.76 @ -65.5 z = 0.44 - j 1.46 y = 0.19 + j 0.63 Freq=881MHz 0.5 1.0 2.0 A -2.0 -0.5 -1.0 Operation The TQ5132 is a single-ended mixer with switching capabilities for the various signal levels found in CDMA applications. The TQ5132 combines a RF amplifier, a LO driver amplifier, and Figure 2. TQ5132 RF Amplifier Input Impedance separate digitally controlled IF amplifiers for CDMA and AMPS outputs. The LO buffer amplifier is a grounded gate FET with a RF / C2 1 8 GND 2 7 LO / C1 GIC 3 6 IFA GS / C3 4 broadband match to 50Ω. It has on-chip DC block and on-chip LO tuning circuit to shape the frequency response and drive it to a level suitable for the gate of the mixer FET. Thus the optimum TQ5132 CDMA IF Output LO Buffer Amplifier 5 Mx Vdd AMPS IF Output LO frequency range is fixed and centered around 990mhz. The LO is limited to high-side injection mode and it operates from 950MHz to 1030MHz. The input to the LO buffer is through pin 7 which also feeds the control line (C1) that selects the mixer mode of operation, either CDMA or AMPS. Due to this logic control, the only external component required at the LO port is a series capacitor to prevent DC from traveling to other parts of the system. The LO drive level of operation should be between 7 and 0 dBm. Best performance is obtained between –6 and – 2 dBm. Figure 1. TQ5132 Block Diagram LO/filter/Mixer interaction Circuit Description The physical position of the image reject filter is likely to have an effect on the performance of the mixer especially in the Low RF Amplifier The TQ5132 has an integrated pre-amplifier stage in a cascode configuration. The output is internally matched to 50 ohms at 881MHz. Pin 1 requires an external match that is set to deliver a 2:1 VSWR in both the low and high gain modes (i.e. RFA is on or off). Figure 2 shows an approximated impedance at pin 1 (RFA input) to implement any desired match. Remember to apply the LO signal when tuning the RF match. Gain mode where the RF amplifier is switched out. This is primarily due to self-mixing of the LO energy bouncing from the filter back into the mixer either out-of-phase or in-phase creating an offset in magnitude. To minimize this effect, TriQuint recommends placing the image-reject filter as close to the IC as possible. In TriQuint’s demo board its position is 42 mils from the pad of the matching inductor and 126 mils from the IC pad. This location for the image-reject filter works well. For additional information and latest specifications, see our website: www.triquint.com 7 TQ5132 Data Sheet CDMA IF Amplifier AMPS IF Amplifier The CDMA IF amplifier is an open drain stage with a gain step The source of the AMPS IF amplifier is connected directly to pin to adjust the output power levels according to the system requirement. No quiescent current adjustments are possible in this mode since the self-bias circuit is on-chip. While the IF 3. This allows the system designer to adjust Gain, output Intercept and Current (GIC) by adding an external self-bias circuit at this pin (see figure 5). A large bypass capacitor value output can be tuned for frequencies as high as 500 MHz, the downconverter performance is limited by the internal tuned circuit of the LO buffer amplifier. The highest IF that can be used in the self-bias circuit minimizes the effects of low frequency components present at this pin. TriQuint recommends 0.022uF or greater. The AMPS IF amplifier gain is only mildly affected by without significant deviation from typical performance is 130 MHz. This output is a high impedance open drain FET z = 5.47 the value of R2. TQ5132 – j 0.71 Ω (normalized). The match requires a RF choke to Vdd for proper biasing (see figure 3). Typical CDMA IF output impedance is shown in figure 4. The gain of the CDMA IF amplifier can be adjusted according to the degeneration resistor R2 value R2 (see figure 5).

The discrepancy between these values and those of the customer's application may differ due to board and component parasitics. Figure 5.

The discrepancy between these values and those of the customer's application may differ due to board and component parasitics. Figure 3. TQ5132 CDMA IF Output Match (IF = 85MHz) Once the operating point is chosen, the designer still has flexibility to adjust gain and intercept by varying the ratio of the DC bias resistors, R2/R3. Maximum gain is obtained when the total DC resistance (R2 + R3) at pin 3 is bypassed. The normalized impedance of the AMPS IF output is z = 15.4 – j TQ5132 1.0 0.5 2.0 B CDIF output Impedance 0.70 @ -2.8 z = 5.47- j 0.71 y = 0.18 + j 0.02 Freq=85MHz 0.5 1.0 2.0 B -2.0 -0.5 -1.0 2.87 Ω. This particular measurement was taken on the 5132 demo board by lifting pin 5 of the PCB pad and soldering the center conductor of a semirigid probe next to it. The outer conductor was grounded close to the pin and its electrical length dialed as a port extension in order to move the calibration reference plane right at the tip of the probe. Keep in mind that the total DC bias resistance in the GIC pin must be selected before taking this measurement. When designing the PCB, it is recommended to place the self-bias circuit of the amplifier as close to the pin as possible to minimize possible loading effects that might cause oscillation. Similarly, the shunt capacitor C10 Figure 4. TQ5132 CDMA IF Output Impedance at Pin 4 8 For additional information and latest specifications, see our website: www.triquint.com TQ5132 Data Sheet of the IF match should be grounded close to the IC (see figure 6). After designing the IF match in simulation using the given Sparameters, some adjustment might be needed when implementing the match on the bench. At this point remember that the LO driver amplifier must be turned on since the IFA is directly coupled to the mixer FET. Figure 6 shows the circuit topology and component values designed for TriQuint's demo board. Figure 7 shows a typical AMPS IF output impedance. TQ5132 1 8 2 7 3 6 4 5 decoupling network has a PI configuration. On the main Vdd node, a large capacitor of 0.022 uF is used, followed by a 3.3 or 10 ohm resistor in series with the supply line. Last, a bypass capacitor that presents a low impedance to ground at the RF frequency is normally placed very close to the pin. However, in the TQ5132 this bypass capacitor on the IC node is on-chip and the external one near the IC is not needed. Board Layout Recommendations All ground pins should be kept close to the IC and have its own via to the ground plane to minimize inductance. Most PC boards for portable applications have thin dielectric layers and very narrow line width which increase the board AMPS IF Output C9=15pF C10=18pF L3=270nH parasitic capacitance and inductance. To minimize these effects when implementing a matching network, it is recommended to relieve the ground underneath pads carrying RF signals whenever possible.

Electrical States of RFA and IFA In the AMPS mode the TQ5132 switches the IF output to the AMPS pin and turns on the RF amplifier but at lower current than CDMA mode. Thus the system draws much less current in AMPS mode. In the High Gain modes, a cascode amplifier is switched in before the mixer. Control for this function is made via a DC signal on the RF input pin 1. The IF amplifier gain can be stepped as well via a control line at pin 6. The CDMA Mid Gain Mode provides an intermediate gain step. The mixer has the RF amplifier turned off and the IF stage at minimum gain. In the low gain modes, the RF amplifier is disabled and the input signal is routed directly to the mixer. 10 For additional information and latest specifications, see our website: www.triquint.com TQ5132 Data Sheet Package Pinout Control 2 RF IN VDD Control 1 GND LO IN Mode Select/ LO Input Control 3 IFA Gain Select GIC CDMA IF IF Out Out IF Out AMP's IF Out Pin Descriptions Pin Name Pin # Description and Usage RF IN 1 RF Input, RF amplifier gain select, Logic Control 2 GND 2 Ground, paddle GIC 3 Off chip tuning for gain/IP3/current IF OUT 4 CDMA IF Output IF OUT 5 AMPS IF Output IFA Gain 6 IF amplifier gain select, Logic Control 3 LO IN 7 LO Input, mode select (CDMA/AMPS), Logic Control 1 Vdd 8 LNA Vdd, typical 2.8V For additional information and latest specifications, see our website: www.triquint.com 9 TQ5132 Data Sheet Package Type: SOT23-8 Plastic Package Note 1 PIN 1 E E1 b FUSED LEAD Note 2 A c e DESIGNATION A A1 b c D e E E1 L Theta L A1 DESCRIPTION OVERALL HEIGHT STANDOFF LEAD WIDTH LEAD THICKNESS PACKAGE LENGTH LEAD PITCH LEAD TIP SPAN PACKAGE WIDTH FOOT LENGTH FOOT ANGLE DIE METRIC 1.20 +/-.25 mm .100 +/-.05 mm .365 mm TYP .127 mm TYP 2.90 +/-.10 mm .65 mm TYP 2.80 +/-.20 mm 1.60 +/-.10 mm .45 +/-.10 mm 1.5 +/-1.5 DEG θ ENGLISH 0.05 +/-.250 in .004 +/-.002 in .014 in .005 in .114 +/-.004 in .026 in .110 +/-.008 in .063 +/-.004 in .018 +/-.004 in 1.5 +/-1.5 DEG NOTE 3 3 3 3 1,3 3 3 2,3 3 Notes 1.
