SKY73078-459LF: 500-1500 MHz Quadrature Modulator
Applications
Description
• Cellular base station systems: GSM/EDGE, CDMA2000,
W-CDMA, TD-SCDMA, LTE
Skyworks SKY73078-459LF is an integrated quadrature
modulator for the upconversion of complex modulated
baseband/IF signals directly up to RF. The device is designed for
use in the 500 to 1500 MHz range. The high linearity, and
excellent I/Q phase accuracy and amplitude balance of the
SKY73078-459LF make it ideal for use in high performance
communication systems.
• WiMAX/broadband wireless access systems
• Satellite modems
Features
• RF frequency operation range: 500 to 1500 MHz
• Modulation bandwidth > 65 MHz (0.1 dB), 210 MHz (1 dB)
• Side-band suppression better than –45 dBc
• Carrier feedthrough of –40 dBm
• Noise floor of –158 dBm/Hz
• Single supply: 4.75 to 5.25 V
• QFN (24-pin, 4 x 4 mm) package (MSL1, 260 °C per JEDEC
J-STD-020)
The modulator accepts two differential baseband inputs and a
single-ended Local Oscillator (LO), and generates a single-ended
RF output. The baseband input buffers accept an input commonmode voltage of 0.5 V and have a 0.1 dB bandwidth of >65 MHz.
The LO input is broadband matched on-chip to 50 Ω, which
enables a direct connection to a 50 Ω LO source. The RF output is
high impedance, designed for a direct connection to a 50 Ω load.
Figure 1 shows a functional block diagram for the SKY73078459LF. The device package and pinout for the 24-pin Quad Flat
No-Lead (QFN) package are shown in Figure 2. Signal pin

DATA SHEET • SKY73078-459LF QUADRATURE MODULATOR
Technical Description
Mixers
The SKY73078-459LF is comprised of four main functional areas:
the LO chain, the baseband input level shifters, the mixers, and
the differential to single-ended converter.
The SKY73078-459LF incorporates two Gilbert-type, doublebalanced mixers for both the In-Phase (I) and Quadrature (Q)
channels. The differential output currents are summed together
into an on-chip passive balun, which converts the differential
signal to a single-ended output.
LO Chain
The LO chain consists of an input linear buffer, a polyphase
quadrature phase splitter, and limiting amplifiers. The input buffer
provides an internal 50 Ω match while generating an amplified
differential signal to the polyphase splitters.
Differential to Single-Ended Converter
The LO can be driven either single-ended or differentially. For
single-ended LO signals, the LON signal (pin 9) should be ACgrounded using a capacitor. Each quadrature LO signal is passed
through limiting amplifiers before driving the mixers.
The differential to single-ended converter is an on-chip passive
balun that converts the differential mixer output signal to a singleended signal. The high impedance output of the balun is designed
to interface directly to a 50 Ω load. If desired, an external
matching network could be used for power matching between the
balun and the 50 Ω load.
Baseband Input Level Shifters
Electrical and Mechanical Specifications
The baseband inputs present a high input impedance while
providing proper DC levels for the mixer inputs. The recommended
DC voltage for the baseband common-mode voltage is 500 mV.
The absolute maximum ratings of the SKY73078-459LF are
provided in Table 2. The recommended operating conditions are
specified in Table 3 and electrical specifications are provided in
Tables 4, 5, and 6.

Notes: Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may reduce device reliability. There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other
parameters set at or below their nominal value. Exceeding any of the limits listed here may result in permanent damage to the device.
Nominal thermal resistance (junction to case) is 5.1 °C/W.
CAUTION: Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage this device. This device
must be protected at all times from ESD. Static charges may easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the human body
or equipment, which can discharge without detection. Industry-standard ESD precautions should be used at all times. The
SKY73078-459LF ESD threshold level is 2500 VDC using Human Body Model (HBM) testing. This level applies to RF signal lines
>100 MHz, analog and RF lines <100 MHz, digital lines, power supply lines, and ground pins.
