DESCRIPTION
The TRF3710 is a highly linear and integrated direct-conversion Quadrature Demodulator optimized for
Third-Generation (3G) wireless infrastructure. The TRF3710 integrates balanced I and Q mixers, LO buffers and
phase splitters to convert an RF signal directly to I and Q baseband. The on-chip Programmable-Gain Amplifiers
allow adjustment of the output signal level without the need for external variable-gain (attenuator) devices. The
TRF3710 integrates programmable baseband low-pass filters that attenuate nearby interference, eliminating the
need for an external baseband filter.
Housed in a 7X7mm QFN package, the TRF3710 provides the smallest and most integrated receiver solution
available for high performance equipment.

SERIAL INTERFACE PROGRAMMING REGISTERS DEFINITION
The TRF3710 features a 3-wire serial programming interface (SPI) that controls an internal 32-bit shift register.
There are a total of 3 signals that need to be applied: the CLOCK (pin 48), the serial DATA (pin 47) and the
STROBE (pin 46). The DATA (DB0-DB31) is loaded LSB first and is read on the rising edge of the CLOCK. The
STROBE is asynchronous to the CLOCK and at its rising edge the data in the shift register gets loaded onto the
selected internal register. The first two bits (DB0-DB1) are the address to select the available internal registers.

Sets baseband gain; the default power on setting = 15 (typ gain = 34 dB) Example:
There are 25 gain settings (0 to 24) in 1 dB increments. Setting gain to 27 dB use
this equation Gain Setting Max -(typical gain - gain wanted) = New Gain Setting.
So 24-(43 dB-27 dB) = 8 which would be from bit 10 to bit 14 <00010>.

Baseband PGA gain: BBGAIN_<4,0> (B<14,10>) sets the gain of the baseband programmable gain
amplifier. The acceptable values are from <00000> to <11000> (Refer to Gain Control paragraph, under the
Application Information section, for more information)
Baseband filter cutoff frequency: BBFREQ_<6,0> (B<21,15) controls the baseband 1-dB cutoff frequency.
An all 0's word sets the filter to its maximum cutoff frequency, while all 1's correspond to minimum filter
bandwidth.
EN_FLT_B0/1: these bits control the bandwidth of the detector used to measure the dc offset during the
automatic calibration. There is an RC filter in front of the detector, that can be fully bypassed. EN_FLT_B0
controls the resistor (bypass = 1), while EN_FLT_B1 controls the capacitor (bypass = 1). The typical 3-dB
cutoff frequencies of the detector bandwidth are summarized in the following table (see Application
Information section for more detail on the dc offset calibration and the detector bandwidth).

APPLICATION INFORMATION
GAIN CONTROL
The TRF3710 integrates a base band Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA) that provides 24 dB of gain range
with 1 dB steps. The PGA gain is controlled through SPI by a 5-bit word (register 0 bits<10,14>). Alternatively,
the PGA can be programmed by a combination of 5 bits programmed through the SPI and 3 parallel external bits
(pins Gain_B2, Gain_B1, Gain_B0). This allows a fast gain change (0 to 7 dB by 1 dB step) without the need to
reprogram the SPI registers.
The PGA gain control word (BBgain<0,4>) can be programmed to a setting between 0 and 24. This word is the
sum of the SPI programmed gain (register 0 bits<10,14>) and the parallel external 3 bits as shown in Figure 34.
Setting the PGA gain setting above 24 is not valid. Typical applications will set the PGA gain setting to 15 which
allows room to adjust the PGA gain up or down to maintain desired output signal to the Analog-to-Digital
Converter over all conditions.

Figure 34. PGA Gain Control Word
For example, if a PGA gain setting of 20 dB is desired, then the SPI can be programmed directly to 20.
Alternatively, the SPI gain register can be programmed to 15 and the parallel external bits set to 101 (binary)
corresponding to an additional 5 dB.
AUTOMATED DC OFFSET CALIBRATION
The TRF3710 provides an automatic calibration procedure for adjusting the DC offset in the base band I/Q paths.
The digital DC offset correction is engaged by setting the PWD_DC_OFF_DIG (register 0, bit 8) to “0” and the
PWD_DC_OFF_ANA (register 0, bit 9) to “1”. The internal calibration requires a clock in order to function.
TRF3710 can use the internal relaxation oscillator or the external SPI clock. Using the internal oscillator is the
preferred method which is selected by setting the Cal_Sel_Clk (register 1, bit 28) to “1”. The internal oscillator
frequency is set through the Osc_Trim bits (register 1, bits 29-31). The frequency of the oscillator is detailed in
Table 3.

The default setting of these registers corresponds to 900 kHz oscillator frequency; this is sufficient for
auto-calibration and does not need to be modified.
The internal DC offset correction DACs output full scale range is programmable (IDET_B0,<1> and
QDET_B0,<1>, register 1 bit20,<23>). The range is shown in Table 4.

The I and Q channel output maximum DC offset correction range can be calculating by multiplying the values in
the table by the base-band PGA gain. The LSB of the digital correction is dependent on the programmed
maximum correction range. For optimum resolution and best correction the DC offset DAC range should be set
to 10 mV for both the I and Q channel with the PGA gain set for the nominal condition. The DC offset correction
DAC output is affected by a change in the PGA gain but if the initial calibration yields optimum results then the
adjustment of the PGA gain during normal operation will not significantly impair the DC offset balance. For
example, if the optimized calibration yields a DC offset balance of 2 mV at a gain setting of 17, then the DC
offset will maintain less than 10 mV balance as the gain is adjusted ±7 dB.
The DC offset correction DACs are programmed from the internal registers when the AUTO_CAL bit (register 1,
bit 2) is set to 1. At start-up, the internal registers are loaded at half scale corresponding to a decimal value of
128. When an auto calibration is desired, verify that the Bin_Search bit (register 1, bit 24) is set to 1. The
auto-cal is initiated by toggling the EN_AUTOCAL bit (register 1, bit 3) to 1. When the calibration is over, this bit
is automatically reset to 0. During calibration the RF Local Oscillator must be applied.
At each clock cycle during an auto calibration sequence the internal circuitry senses the output DC offset and
calculates the new DC current for the DAC. After the 9th clock cycle, the calibration is complete and the
AUTO_CAL bit is reset to 0. The DC offset DAC state is stored in the internal registers and maintained as long
as the power supply is kept on or until the Cal Reset (register 1, bit 29) is toggled to 1 or a new calibration is
started.
The required clock speed for the optimum calibration is determined by the internal detector behavior (integration
bandwidth, gain, sensitivity). The input bandwidth of the detector can be adjusted by changing the cut-off
frequency of the RC low pass filter in front of the detector (register 0, bits 24–25) corresponding to 3 dB corner
frequency steps of 10 MHz, 10 kHz, and 1 kHz. The speed of the clock can be slowed down by selecting a clock
divider ratio (register 1, bits 25–27).
The detector has more averaging time the slower the clock; hence, it can be desirable to slow down the clock
speed for a given condition to achieve optimum results. For example, if there is no RF present on the RF input
port, the detection filter can be left wide (10 MHz) and the clock divider can be left at div-by-1. The
auto-calibration yields a DC offset balance between the differential base band output ports (I and Q) that is less
than 15 mV. Some minor improvement may be obtained by increasing the averaging of the detector by
increasing the clock divider up to 256.
However, if there is a modulated RF signal present at the input port, it is desirable to reduce the detector
bandwidth to filter out most of the modulated signal. The detector bandwidth can be set to a 1 kHz corner
frequency. With the modulated signal present, and with the detection bandwidth reduced, additional averaging is
required to get the optimum results. A clock divider setting of 1024 yields optimum results.
An increase in the averaging is possible by increasing the clock divider at the expense of longer converging time.
The convergence time can be calculated by the following:
(Auto_Cal_Clk_Cycles) (Clk_Divider)
tc +
Osc_Freq
(1)
With a clock divider of 1024 and with the nominal oscillator frequency of 900 kHz the convergence time is:

ALTERNATE METHOD FOR ADJUSTING DC OFFSET
The internal registers controlling the internal DC current DAC are accessible through the SPI, providing a user
programmable method for implementing the DC offset calibration. To employ this option the Auto Cal bit must be
set to 0 and the Bin_Search set to “0”. During this calibration, an external instrument monitors the output DC
offset between the I/Q differential outputs and programs the internal registers (IDAC_BIT0,<7> and
QDAC_BIT0,<7> bits, register 1 bit4,<19>) to cancel the DC offset.
The TRF3710 also offers a third DC offset calibration option to control the output DC offset by an external
voltage (0–3 V) injected at the VOFFI and VOFFQ pins. Set PWD_DC_OFF_DIG (register 0, bit 8) to 1 (Off) and
set PWD_DC_OFF_ANA (register 0, bit 9) to 0 to engage the external analog voltage control of the output DC
offset. The analog voltage at the VOFFI and VOFFQ pins can be adjusted to provide the proper DC offset
balance.
PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES
The TRF3710 device is fitted with a ground slug on the back of the package that must be soldered to the PCB
ground with adequate ground vias to ensure a good thermal and electrical connection. The recommended via
pattern and ground pad dimensions are shown in Figure 35. The recommended via diameter is 8 mils. The
ground pins of the device can be directly tied to the ground slug pad for a low inductance path to ground.
Additional ground vias may be added if space allows. The NC (No Connect) pins can also be tied to the ground
plane.
Decoupling capacitors at each of the supply pins is recommended. The high frequency decoupling capacitors for
the RF mixers (VCCMIX) should be placed close to their respective pins. The value of the capacitor should be
chosen to provide a low impedance RF path to ground at the frequency of operation. Typically this value is
around 10 pF or lower. The other decoupling capacitors at the other supply pins should be kept as close to their
respective pins as possible.
The device exhibits symmetry with respect to the quadrature output paths. It is recommended that the PCB
layout maintain that symmetry in order to ensure the quadrature balance of the device is not impaired. The I/Q
output traces should be routed as differential pairs and their lengths all kept equal to each other. Decoupling
capacitors for the supply pins should be kept symmetrical where possible. The RF differential input lines related
to the RF input and the LO input should also be routed as differential lines with their respective lengths kept
equal. If an RF balun is used to convert a single ended input to differential input, then the RF balun should be
placed close to the device. Implement the RF balun layout per the manufacturer’s guidelines to provide best gain
and phase balance to the differential outputs. On the RF traces, maintain proper trace widths to keep the
characteristic impedance of the RF traces at a nominal 50 Ω.

Figure 36. TRF3710 Application Schematics
The RF input port and the RF LO port require differential input paths. Single ended RF inputs to these ports can
be converted with an RF balun that is centered at the band of interest. Linearity performance of the TRF3710 is
dependant on the amplitude and phase balance of the RF balun; hence, care should be taken with the selection
of the balun device and with the RF layout of the device. The recommended RF balun devices are listed in
Table 5.

ADC INTERFACE
The TRF3710 has an integrated ADC driver buffer that allows direct connection to an Analog-to-Digital Converter
(ADC) without additional active circuitry. The common mode voltage generated by the ADC can be directly
supplied to the TRF3710 through the VCMI/Q pins (pins 24, 37). Otherwise, a nominal common mode voltage of
1.5 V should be applied to those pins. The TRF3710 device can operate with a common mode voltage from 1.5
V to 2.8 V without any impairment to the output performance. Figure 37 illustrates the degradation of the output
compression point as the common mode voltage exceeds those values.

APPLICATION FOR A HIGH PERFORMANCE RF RECEIVER SIGNAL CHAIN
The TRF3710 is the centerpiece component in a high performance direct down convert receiver. The device is a
highly integrated direct down convert demodulator that requires minimal additional devices to complete the signal
chain. A signal chain block diagram example is shown in Figure 38.

Figure 38. Block Diagram of Direct Down Convert Receiver
The lineup requires a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) that operates at the frequency of interest with typical 1 to 2 dB
Noise Figure (NF) performance. An RF band pass filter (BPF) is selected at the frequency band of interest to
eliminate unwanted signals and images outside the band from reaching the demodulator. The TRF3710
incorporates the direct down convert demodulation, base band filtering, and base band gain control functions. An
external synthesizer, like the TRF3761, is used to provide the Local Oscillator (LO) source to the TRF3710. The
differential outputs of the TRF3761 directly mate with LO input of the TRF3710. The quadrature outputs (I/Q) of
the TRF3710 directly drive the input to the Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). A dual ADC like the ADS5232
12-bit 80 MSPS ADC mates perfectly with the differential I/Q output of the TRF3710. In addition, the common
mode output voltage generated by the ADS5232 is fed directly into the common mode ports (pins 24, 37) to
ensure the optimum dynamic range of the ADC is maintained.
The cascaded performance of the TRF3710 with the ADS5231 and TRF3761 was measured with WCDMA
modulated signals. A single channel WCDMA receive signal was injected into the TRF3710 at –100 dBm. This
power roughly corresponds to typical levels this device would see at sensitivity when an appropriate LNA and
filter are used. The EVM (Error Vector Magnitude) of the RX channel was measured as a gauge of the system
performance. The performance at –100 dBm input is shown in Figure 39. The EVM percentage at -100 dBm is
approximately 27.6% at 60 ksym/s. This correlates with the required SNR (signal to noise ratio) for the device
with appropriate LNA to meet or exceed the BER (Bit Error Rate) specification of 0.1% per the standards at the
input sensitivity level.
