GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD61009 is a 3 V low power receiver IF subsystem for operation at input frequencies as high as 500 MHz and IFs from
400 kHz to 12 MHz. It consists of a mixer, IF amplifiers, I and
Q demodulators, a phase-locked quadrature oscillator, and a
biasing system with external power-down.
The AD61009’s low noise, high intercept mixer is a doublybalanced Gilbert cell type. It has a nominal –15 dBm input
referred 1 dB compression point and a –8 dBm input referred
third-order intercept. The mixer section of the AD61009 also
includes a local oscillator (LO) preamplifier, which lowers the
required LO drive to –16 dBm.

A quadrature VCO phase-locked to the IF drives the I and Q
demodulators. The I and Q demodulators can also demodulate AM; when the AD61009’s quadrature VCO is phase locked
to the received signal, the in-phase demodulator becomes a
synchronous product detector for AM. The VCO can also be
phase-locked to an external beat-frequency oscillator (BFO),
and the demodulator serves as a product detector for CW or
SSB reception. Finally, the AD61009 can be used to demodulate BPSK using an external Costas Loop for carrier recovery.
In MGC operation, the AD61009 accepts an external gaincontrol voltage input from an external AGC detector or a DAC.

SUPPLY CURRENT – mA

The UHF mixer is an improved Gilbert cell design, and can
operate from low frequencies (it is internally dc-coupled) up to
an RF input of 500 MHz. The dynamic range at the input of the
mixer is determined, at the upper end, by the maximum input
signal level of ± 56 mV between RFHI and RFLO up to which
the mixer remains linear, and, at the lower end, by the noise
level. It is customary to define the linearity of a mixer in terms
of the 1 dB gain-compression point and third-order intercept,
which for the AD61009 are –15 dBm and –8 dBm, respectively,
in a 50 Ω system.
10
The mixer’s RF input port is differential, that is, pin RFLO is
functionally identical to RFHI, and these nodes are internally
biased; we will generally assume that RFLO is decoupled to ac
ground. The RF port can be modeled as a parallel RC circuit as
shown in Figure 2.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The AD61009 provides most of the active circuitry required to
realize a complete low power, single-conversion superheterodyne
receiver, or most of a double-conversion receiver, at input frequencies up to 500 MHz, and with an IF of from 400 kHz to
12 MHz. The internal I/Q demodulators, and their associated
phase locked-loop, which can provide carrier recovery from
the IF, support a wide variety of modulation modes, including
n-PSK, n-QAM, and AM. A single positive supply voltage of
3 V is required (2.85 V minimum, 5.5 V maximum) at a typical
supply current of 8.5 mA at midgain. In the following discussion, VP will be used to denote the power supply voltage, which
will be assumed to be 3 V.

Figure 1 shows the main sections of the AD61009. It consists of
a variable-gain UHF mixer and linear four-stage IF strip, which
together provide a voltage controlled gain range of more than
90 dB; followed by dual demodulators, each comprising a multiplier followed by a two-pole, 2 MHz low-pass filter; and driven
by a phase-locked loop providing the inphase and quadrature
clocks. A biasing system with CMOS compatible power-down
completes the AD61009.
The local oscillator (LO) input is internally biased at VP/2 via a
nominal 1000 Ω resistor internally connected from pin LOIP to
VMID. The LO interface includes a preamplifier which minimizes
the drive requirements, thus simplifying the oscillator design
and reducing LO leakage from the RF port. Internally, this
single-sided input is actually differential; the noninverting input
is referenced to pin VMID. The LO requires a single-sided drive
of ± 50 mV, or –16 dBm in a 50 Ω system.

The mixer’s output passes through both a low-pass filter and a
buffer, which provides an internal differential to single-ended
signal conversion with a bandwidth of approximately 45 MHz.
Its output at pin MXOP is in the form of a single-ended current.
This approach eliminates the 6 dB voltage loss of the usual series
termination by replacing it with shunt terminations at the both
the input and the output of the filter. The nominal conversion
gain is specified for operation into a total IF bandpass filter
(BPF) load of 165 Ω, that is, a 330 Ω filter, doubly-terminated
as shown in Figure 33. Note that these loads are connected to
bias point VMID, which is always at the midpoint of the supply
(that is, VP/2).
The maximum permissible signal level at MXOP is determined
by both voltage and current limitations. Using a 3 V supply and
VMID at 1.5 V, the maximum swing is about ± 1.3 V. To attain
a voltage swing of ± 1 V in the standard IF filter load of 165 Ω
load requires a peak drive current of about ± 6 mA, which is well
within the linear capability of the mixer. However, these upper
limits for voltage and current should not be confused with issues
related to the mixer gain, already discussed. In an operational
system, the AGC voltage will determine the mixer gain, and
hence the signal level at the IF input pin IFHI; it will always be
less than ± 56 mV (–15 dBm into 50 Ω), which is the limit of the
IF amplifier’s linear range.
The conversion gain is measured between the mixer input and
the input of this filter, and varies between 1.5 dB and 26.5 dB
for a 165 Ω load impedance. Using filters of higher impedance,
the conversion gain can always be maintained at its specified
value or made even higher; for filters of lower impedance, of say
ZO, the conversion gain will be lowered by 10 log10(165/ZO).
Thus, the use of a 50 Ω filter will result in a conversion gain that
is 5.2 dB lower. Figure 3 shows filter matching networks and
Table I lists resistor values.

Most of the gain in the AD61009 arises in the IF amplifier strip,
which comprises four stages. The first three are fully differential
and each has a gain span of 25 dB for the nominal AGC voltage
range. Thus, in conjunction with the mixer’s variable gain, the
total gain exceeds 90 dB. The final IF stage has a fixed gain of
20 dB, and it also provides differential to single-ended conversion.
The IF input is differential, at IFHI (noninverting relative to the
output IFOP) and IFLO (inverting). Figure 4 shows a simplified
schematic of the IF interface. The offset voltage of this stage
would cause a large dc output error at high gain, so it is nulled by
a low-pass feedback path from the IF output, also shown in
TPC 25. Unlike the mixer output, the signal at IFOP is a lowimpedance single-sided voltage, centered at VP/2 by the dc
feedback loop. It may be loaded by a resistance as low as 50 Ω,
which will normally be connected to VMID.

The IF’s small-signal bandwidth is approximately 45 MHz from
IFHI and IFLO through IFOP. The peak output at IFOP is
± 560 mV at VP = 3 V and ± 400 mV at the minimum VP of
2.7 V. This allows some headroom at the demodulator inputs
(pin DMIP), which accept a maximum input of ± 150 mV for
IFs > 3 MHz and ± 75 mV for IFs ≤ 3 MHz (at IFs ≤ 3 MHz,
the drive to the demodulators must be reduced to avoid saturating the output amplifiers with higher order mixing products that
are no longer removed by the onboard low-pass filters).

Since there is no band-limiting in the IF strip, the outputreferred noise can be quite high; in a typical application and
at a gain of 75 dB it is about 100 mV rms, making post-IF filtering
desirable. IFOP may be also used as an IF output for driving
an A/D converter, external demodulator, or external AGC
detector. Figure 5 shows methods of matching the optional
second IF filter.

Alternatively, pin GREF can be tied to an external voltage
reference, VR, provided, for example, by an AD1582 (2.5 V)
or AD1580 (1.21 V) voltage reference, to provide supplyindependent gain scaling of VR/75 (volts per dB). Since it uses
the same reference voltage, the numerical input to this DAC
provides an accurate RSSI value in digital form, no longer
requiring the reference voltage to have high absolute accuracy.

AD61009 features temperature-compensation of the gain scaling. The gain control scaling is proportional to the reference
voltage applied to the pin GREF. When this pin is tied to the
midpoint of the supply (VMID), the scale is nominally 20 mV/
dB (50 dB/V) for VP = 3 V. Under these conditions, the lower
80 dB of gain range (mixer plus IF) corresponds to a control
voltage of 0.4 V ≤ VG ≤ 2.0 V. The final centering of this 1.6 V
range depends on the insertion losses of the IF filters used. More
generally, the gain scaling using these connections is VP/150
(volts per dB), so becomes 33.3 mV/dB (30 dB/V) using a 5 V
supply, with a proportional change in the AGC range, to 0.33 V ≤
VG ≤ 3 V, Table II lists gain control voltages and scale factors
for power supply voltages from 3 V to 5.5 V.

The AD61009’s overall gain, expressed in decibels, is linearin-dB with respect to the AGC voltage VG at pin GAIN. The
gain of all sections is maximum when VG is zero, and reduces
progressively up to VG = 2.2 V (for VP = 3 V; in general, up to a
limit VP – 0.8 V). The gain of all stages changes in parallel. The
Both demodulators (I and Q) receive their inputs at pin DMIP.
Internally, this single-sided input is actually differential; the
noninverting input is referenced to pin VMID. Each demodulator comprises a full-wave synchronous detector followed by a
2 MHz, two-pole low-pass filter, producing single-sided outputs
at pins IOUT and QOT. Using the I and Q demodulators for
IFs above 12 MHz is precluded by the 1 MHz to 12 MHz
response of the PLL used in the demodulator section. Pin DMIP
requires an external bias source at VP/2; Figure 6 shows suggested methods.
Outputs IOUT and QOUT are centered at VP/2 and can swing
up to ± 1.23 V even at the low supply voltage of 2.85 V. The
conversion gain of the I and Q demodulators is 18 dB (X8),
requiring a maximum input amplitude at DMIP of ± 150 mV
for IFs > 3 MHz.

The reference signal may be provided from an external source,
in the form of a high-level clock, typically a low level signal
(± 400 mV) since there is an input amplifier between FDIN and
the loop’s phase detector. For example, the IF output itself can
be used by connecting DMIP to FDIN, which will then provide
automatic carrier recover for synchronous AM detection and
take advantage of any post-IF filtering. Pin FDIN must be
biased at VP/2; Figure 9 shows suggested methods.

In practice, the probability of a phase mismatch at power-up is
high, so the worst-case linear settling period to full lock needs to
be considered in making filter choices. This is typically 16.5 µs at
an IF of 10.7 MHz for a ±100 mV signal at DMIP and FDIN.

VMID
The VFQO operates from 1 MHz to 12 MHz and is controlled by
the voltage between VPOS and FLTR. In normal operation, a
series RC network, forming the PLL loop filter, is connected
from FLTR to ground. The use of an integral sample-hold
system ensures that the frequency-control voltage on pin FLTR
remains held during power-down, so reacquisition of the carrier
typically occurs in 16.5 µs.

at VP /2
For IFs < 3 MHz, the on-chip low-pass filters (2 MHz cutoff)
do not attenuate the IF or feedthrough products; thus, the
maximum input voltage at DMIP must be limited to ± 75 mV
to allow sufficient headroom at the I and Q outputs for not only
the desired baseband signal but also the unattenuated higherorder demodulation products. These products can be removed
by an external low-pass filter.
Phase-Locked Loop
The demodulators are driven by quadrature signals that are
provided by a variable frequency quadrature oscillator (VFQO),
phase locked to a reference signal applied to pin FDIN. When
this signal is at the IF, inphase and quadrature baseband outputs
are generated at IOUT and QOUT, respectively. The quadrature accuracy of this VFQO is typically –1.2° at 10.7 MHz. The
PLL uses a sequential-phase detector that comprises low power
emitter-coupled logic and a charge pump (Figure 7).
The AD61009 operates from a single supply, VP, usually of 3 V,
at a typical supply current of 8.5 mA at midgain and T = 27°C,
corresponding to a power consumption of 25 mW. Any voltage
from 2.85 V to 5.5 V may be used.
The bias system includes a fast-acting active-high CMOScompatible power-up switch, allowing the part to idle at 550 µA
when disabled. Biasing is proportional-to-absolute-temperature
(PTAT) to ensure stable gain with temperature.
An independent regulator generates a voltage at the midpoint
of the supply (VP/2) which appears at the VMID pin, at a low
impedance. This voltage does not shut down, ensuring that the
major signal interfaces (e.g., mixer-to-IF and IF-to-demodulators)
remain biased at all times, thus minimizing transient disturbances
at power-up and allowing the use of substantial decoupling
capacitors on this node. The quiescent consumption of this
regulator is included in the idling current.

In this section, we will focus on a few areas of special importance and include a few general application tips. As is true of
any wideband high gain component, great care is needed in PC
board layout. The location of the particular grounding points
must be considered with due regard to possibility of unwanted

The high sensitivity of the AD61009 leads to the possibility that
unwanted local EM signals may have an effect on the performance.
During system development, carefully-shielded test assemblies
should be used. The best solution is to use a fully-enclosed

The I and Q output leads can include small series resistors
(about 100 Ω) inside the shielded box without significant loss
of performance, provided the external loading during testing
is light (that is, a resistive load of more than 20 kΩ and capacitances of a few picofarads). These help to keep unwanted RF
emanations out of the interior.

The power supply should be connected via a through-hole
capacitor with a ferrite bead on both inside and outside leads.
Close to the IC pins, two capacitors of different value should be
used to decouple the main supply (VP) and the midpoint supply
pin, VMID. Guidance on these matters is also generally included
in applications schematics.

As in all receivers, the most critical decisions in effectively using
the AD61009 relate to the partitioning of gain between the
various subsections (Mixer, IF Amplifier, Demodulators) and
the placement of filters, so as to achieve the highest overall signalto-noise ratio and lowest intermodulation distortion.

As noted earlier, the gain in dB is reduced linearly with the
voltage VG on the GAIN pin. Figure 10 shows how the mixer
and IF strip gains vary with VG when GREF is connected to VMID
(1.5 V) and a supply voltage of 3 V is used. Figure 11 shows
how these vary when GREF is connected to a 1.23 V reference.

Using the AD61009 with a Fast PRUP Control Signal
If the AD61009 is used in a system in which the PRUP signal
(Pin 3) is applied with a rise time less than 35 µs, anomalous
behavior occasionally occurs. The problem is intermittent, so it
will not occur every time the part is powered up under these
conditions. It does not occur for any other normal operating conditions when the PRUP signal has a rise time slower than 35 µs.
Symptoms of operation with too fast a PRUP signal include low
gain, oscillations at the I or Q outputs of the device or no valid
data occurring at the output of the AD61009. The problem
causes no permanent damage to the AD61009, so it will often
operate normally when reset.
Fortunately, there is a very simple solution to the fast PRUP
problem. If the PRUP signal (Pin 3) is slowed down so that
the rise time of the signal edge is greater than 35 µs, the anomalous behavior will not occur. This can be realized by a simple
RC circuit connected to the PRUP pin, where R = 4.7 kΩ and
C = 1.5 nF. This circuit is shown in Figure 12.

All designs incorporating the AD61009 should include
this circuitry.
Note that connecting the PRUP pin to the supply voltage will
not eliminate the problem since the supply voltage may have a
rise time faster than 35 µs. With this configuration, the 4.7 kΩ
series R and 1.5 nF shunt C should be placed between the
supply and the PRUP pin as shown in Figure 12.
AD61009 EVALUATION BOARD
The AD61009 evaluation board (Figures 13 and 14) consists of
an AD61009, ground plane, I/O connectors, and a 10.7 MHz
bandpass filter. The RF and LO ports are terminated in 50 Ω
to provide a broadband match to external signal generators to
allow a choice of RF and LO input frequencies. The IF filter is
at 10.7 MHz and has 330 Ω input and output terminations; the
board is laid out to allow the user to substitute other filters for
other IFs.
The board provides SMA connectors for the RF and LO port
inputs, the demodulated I and Q outputs, the manual gain control (MGC) input, the PLL input, and the power-up input. In
addition, the IF output is also available at an SMA connector;
this may be connected to the PLL input for carrier recovery to
realize synchronous AM and FM detection via the I and Q
demodulators, respectively. Table III lists the AD61009 Evaluation Board’s I/O Connectors and their functions.

AD61009
In operation (Figure 15), the AD61009 evaluation board draws
about 8.5 mA at midgain (59 dB). Use high impedance probes
to monitor signals from the demodulated I and Q outputs and
the IF output. The MGC voltage should be set such that the
signal level at DMIP does not exceed ± 150 mV; signal levels
above this will overload the I and Q demodulators. The insertion loss between IFOP and DMIP is typically 3 dB if a simple
low-pass filter (R8 and C2) is used and higher if a reverseterminated bandpass filter is used.
