GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9364 is a high performance, highly integrated radio frequency (RF) Agile Transceiver™ designed for use in 3G and 4G base
station applications. Its programmability and wideband capability
make it ideal for a broad range of transceiver applications.
The device combines an RF front end with a flexible mixed-signal
baseband section and integrated frequency synthesizers, simplifying design-in by providing a configurable digital interface to a
processor. The AD9364 operates in the 70 MHz to 6.0 GHz range,
covering most licensed and unlicensed bands. Channel bandwidths
from less than 200 kHz to 56 MHz are supported.
The direct conversion receiver has state-of-the-art noise figure
and linearity. The receive (Rx) subsystem includes independent
automatic gain control (AGC), dc offset correction, quadrature
correction, and digital filtering, thereby eliminating the need for
these functions in the digital baseband. The AD9364 also has
flexible manual gain modes that can be externally controlled.
Two high dynamic range ADCs digitize the received I and Q
signals and pass them through configurable decimation filters
Rev. C
and 128-tap FIR filters to produce a 12-bit output signal at the
appropriate sample rate.
The transmitter uses a direct conversion architecture that achieves
high modulation accuracy with ultralow noise. This transmitter
design produces a Tx EVM of ≤−40 dB, allowing significant system
margin for the external power amplifier (PA) selection. The onboard transmit (Tx) power monitor can be used as a power
detector, enabling highly accurate Tx power measurements.
The fully integrated phase-locked loops (PLLs) provide low
power fractional-N frequency synthesis for all Rx and Tx channels.
All VCO and loop filter components are integrated.
The core of the AD9364 can be powered directly from a 1.3 V
regulator. The IC is controlled via a standard 4-wire serial port and
four real-time input control pins. Comprehensive power-down
modes are included to minimize power consumption during
normal use. The AD9364 is packaged in a 10 mm × 10 mm,
144-ball chip scale package ball grid array (CSP_BGA).

THEORY OF OPERATION
GENERAL
TRANSMITTER
The AD9364 is a highly integrated radio frequency (RF)
transceiver capable of being configured for a wide range of
applications. The device integrates all RF, mixed signal, and
digital blocks necessary to provide all transceiver functions in a
single device. Programmability allows this broadband transceiver
to be adapted for use with multiple communication standards,
including frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division
duplex (TDD) systems. This programmability also allows the
device to be interfaced to various baseband processors (BBPs) using
a single 12-bit parallel data port, dual 12-bit parallel data ports,
or a 12-bit low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) interface.
The transmitter section consists of two differential output stages
that can be multiplexed to the transmit channel. The transmit
channel provides all digital processing, mixed signal, and RF
blocks necessary to implement a direct conversion system. The
digital data received from the BBP passes through a fully
programmable 128-tap FIR filter with interpolation options. The
FIR output is sent to a series of interpolation filters that provide
additional filtering and data rate interpolation prior to reaching the
DAC. Each 12-bit DAC has an adjustable sampling rate. Both
the I and Q channels are fed to the RF block for upconversion.
The AD9364 also provides self calibration and automatic gain
control (AGC) systems to maintain a high performance level
under varying temperatures and input signal conditions. In addition, the device includes several test modes that allow system
designers to insert test tones and create internal loopback modes
that can be used by designers to debug their designs during
prototyping and optimize their radio configuration for a
specific application.
RECEIVER
The receiver section contains all blocks necessary to receive RF
signals and convert them to digital data that is usable by a BBP.
It has three inputs that can be multiplexed to the signal chain,
making the AD9364 suitable for use in multiband systems with
multiple antenna inputs. The receiver is a direct conversion
system that contains a low noise amplifier (LNA), followed by
matched in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) amplifiers, mixers,
and band shaping filters that downconvert received signals to
baseband for digitization. External LNAs can also be interfaced
to the device, allowing designers the flexibility to customize the
receiver front end for their specific application.
Gain control is achieved by following a preprogrammed gain
index map that distributes gain among the blocks for optimal
performance at each level. This can be achieved by enabling the
internal AGC in either fast or slow mode or by using manual
gain control, allowing the BBP to make the gain adjustments as
needed. Additionally, each channel contains independent RSSI
measurement capability, dc offset tracking, and all circuitry
necessary for self calibration.
The receiver includes 12-bit, Σ-Δ ADCs and adjustable sample
rates that produce data streams from the received signals. The
digitized signals can be conditioned further by a series of
decimation filters and a fully programmable 128-tap FIR filter
with additional decimation settings. The sample rate of each
digital filter block is adjustable by changing decimation factors
to produce the desired output data rate.
When converted to baseband analog signals, the I and Q signals
are filtered to remove sampling artifacts and fed to the upconversion mixers. At this point, the I and Q signals are recombined
and modulated on the carrier frequency for transmission to the
output stage. The combined signal also passes through analog
filters that provide additional band shaping, and then the signal
is transmitted to the output amplifier. The transmit channel
provides a wide attenuation adjustment range with fine granularity
to help designers optimize signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
Self calibration circuitry is built into each transmit channel to
provide automatic real-time adjustment. The transmitter block
also provides a Tx monitor block. This block monitors the
transmitter output and routes it back through the receiver
channel to the BBP for signal monitoring. The Tx monitor
block is available only in TDD mode operation while the
receiver is idle.
CLOCK INPUT OPTIONS
The AD9364 operates using a reference clock that can be provided
by two different sources. The first option is to use a dedicated
crystal with a frequency between 19 MHz and 50 MHz connected
between the XTALP and XTALN pins. The second option is to
connect an external oscillator or clock distribution device (such as
the AD9548) to the XTALN pin (with the XTALP pin remaining
unconnected). If an external oscillator is used, the frequency
can vary between 10 MHz and 80 MHz. This reference clock is
used to supply the synthesizer blocks that generate all data
clocks, sample clocks, and local oscillators inside the device.
Errors in the crystal frequency can be removed by using the
digitally programmable digitally controlled crystal oscillator
(DCXO) function to adjust an on-chip variable capacitor. This
capacitor can tune the crystal frequency variance out of the
system, resulting in a more accurate reference clock from which
all other frequency signals are generated. This function can also
be used with on-chip temperature sensing to provide oscillator
frequency temperature compensation during normal operation.

AD9364
SYNTHESIZERS
RX_FRAME Signal
RF PLLs
The device generates an RX_FRAME output signal whenever the
receiver outputs valid data. This signal has two modes: level
mode (RX_FRAME stays high as long as the data is valid) and
pulse mode (RX_FRAME pulses with a 50% duty cycle). Similarly,
the BBP must provide a TX_FRAME signal that indicates the
beginning of a valid data transmission with a rising edge. Similar
to the RX_FRAME signal, the TX_FRAME signal can remain
high throughout the burst or it can be pulsed with a 50% duty
cycle.
The AD9364 contains two identical synthesizers to generate the
required LO signals for the RF signal paths—one for the receiver
and one for the transmitter. Phase-locked loop (PLL) synthesizers
are fractional-N designs incorporating completely integrated
voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) and loop filters. In TDD
mode, the synthesizers turn on and off as appropriate for the Rx
and Tx frames. In FDD mode, the Tx PLL and the Rx PLL can
be activated at the same time. These PLLs require no external
components.
BB PLL
The AD9364 also contains a baseband PLL (BB PLL)
synthesizer that is used to generate all baseband related clock
signals. These include the ADC and DAC sampling clocks, the
DATA_CLK signal (see the Digital Data Interface section), and
all data framing signals. This PLL is programmed from 700 MHz
to 1400 MHz based on the data rate and sample rate requirements
of the system.
DIGITAL DATA INTERFACE
The AD9364 data interface uses parallel data ports (P0 and P1)
to transfer data between the device and the BBP. The data ports can
be configured in either single-ended CMOS format or differential
LVDS format. Both formats can be configured in multiple arrangements to match system requirements for data ordering and data
port connections. These arrangements include single port data
bus, dual port data bus, single data rate, and double data rate.
Bus transfers are controlled using simple hardware handshake
signaling. The two ports can be operated in either bidirectional
(half-duplex) mode or in full duplex mode where half the bits
are used for transmitting data and half are used for receiving data.
The interface can also be configured to use only one of the data
ports for applications that do not require high data rates and
prefer to use fewer interface pins.
DATA_CLK Signal
The AD9364 supplies the DATA_CLK signal that the BBP uses
when receiving the data. The DATA_CLK signal can be set to a
rate that provides single data rate (SDR) timing where data is
sampled on each rising clock edge, or it can be set to provide
double data rate (DDR) timing where data is captured on both
rising and falling edges. SDR or DDR timing applies to
operation using either a single port or both ports.
FB_CLK Signal
For transmit data, the interface uses the FB_CLK signal as the
timing reference. FB_CLK allows source synchronous timing
with rising edge capture for burst control signals and either
rising edge (SDR mode) or both edge capture (DDR mode) for
transmit signal bursts. The FB_CLK signal must have the same
frequency and duty cycle as DATA_CLK.
ENABLE STATE MACHINE
The AD9364 transceiver includes an enable state machine (ENSM)
that allows real-time control over the current state of the device.
The device can be placed in several different states during normal
operation, including
•
•
•
•
•
•
Wait—power save, synthesizers disabled
Sleep—wait with all clocks/BB PLL disabled
Tx—Tx signal chain enabled
Rx—Rx signal chain enabled
FDD—Tx and Rx signal chains enabled
Alert—synthesizers enabled
The ENSM has two possible control methods: SPI control and
pin control.
SPI Control Mode
In SPI control mode, the ENSM is controlled asynchronously by
writing SPI registers to advance the current state to the next
state. SPI control is considered asynchronous to the DATA_CLK
because the SPI_CLK can be derived from a different clock
reference and can still function properly. The SPI control ENSM
method is recommended when real-time control of the
synthesizers is not necessary. SPI control can be used for realtime control as long as the BBP has the ability to perform timed
SPI writes accurately.
Pin Control Mode
In pin control mode, the enable function of the ENABLE pin and
the TXNRX pin allow real-time control of the current state. The
ENSM allows TDD or FDD operation depending on the
configuration of the corresponding SPI register. The ENABLE
and TXNRX pin control method is recommended if the BBP
has extra control outputs that can be controlled in real time,
allowing a simple 2-wire interface to control the state of the
device. To advance the current state of the ENSM to the next
state, the enable function of the ENABLE pin can be driven by
either a pulse (edge detected internally) or a level.
When a pulse is used, it must have a minimum pulse width of
one FB_CLK cycle. In level mode, the ENABLE and TXNRX
pins are also edge detected by the AD9364 and must meet the
same minimum pulse width requirement of one FB_CLK cycle.

AD9364
Data Sheet
In FDD mode, the ENABLE and TXNRX pins can be remapped to
serve as real-time Rx and Tx data transfer control signals. In this
mode, the enable function of the ENABLE pin assumes the RXON
function (controlling when the Rx path is enabled and disabled),
and the TXNRX pin assumes the TXON function (controlling
when the Tx path is enabled and disabled). In this mode, the
ENSM is removed from the system for control of all data flow
by these pins.
SPI INTERFACE
The AD9364 uses a serial peripheral interface (SPI) to communicate with the BBP. The SPI can be configured as a 4-wire
interface with dedicated receive and transmit ports, or it can
be configured as a 3-wire interface with a bidirectional data
communication port. This bus allows the BBP to set all device
control parameters using a simple address data serial bus
protocol.
can be used to control other peripheral devices such as regulators
and switches via the AD9364 SPI bus, or they can function as
slaves for the internal AD9364 state machine.
AUXILIARY CONVERTERS
AUXADC
The AD9364 contains an auxiliary ADC that can be used to monitor system functions such as temperature or power output. The
converter is 12 bits wide and has an input range of 0.05 V to
VDDA1P3_BB − 0.05 V. When enabled, the ADC is free running.
SPI reads provide the last value latched at the ADC output. A
multiplexer in front of the ADC allows the user to select between
the AUXADC input pin and a built-in temperature sensor.
AUXDAC1 and AUXDAC2
The AD9364 contains two identical auxiliary DACs that can
provide power amplifier (PA) bias or other system functionality.
The auxiliary DACs are 10 bits wide, have an output voltage range
of 0.5 V to VDD_GPO − 0.3 V, a current drive of 10 mA, and
can be directly controlled by the internal enable state machine.
Write commands follow a 24-bit format. The first six bits are
used to set the bus direction and number of bytes to transfer.
The next 10 bits set the address where data is to be written.
The final eight bits are the data to be transferred to the specified
register address (MSB to LSB). The AD9364 also supports an
LSB-first format that allows the commands to be written in LSB
to MSB format. In this mode, the register addresses are incremented for multibyte writes.
The AD9364 must be powered by the following three supplies:
the analog supply (VDDD1P3_DIG/VDDAx = 1.3 V), the
interface supply (VDD_INTERFACE = 1.8 V), and the GPO
supply (VDD_GPO = 3.3 V).
Read commands follow a similar format with the exception that
the first 16 bits are transferred on the SPI_DI pin and the final
eight bits are read from the AD9364, either on the SPI_DO pin
in 4-wire mode or on the SPI_DI pin in 3-wire mode.
For applications requiring optimal noise performance, it is
recommended that the 1.3 V analog supply be split and sourced
from low noise, low dropout (LDO) regulators. Figure 74 shows
the recommended method.

Figure 74. Low Noise Power Solution for the AD9364
For applications where board space is at a premium, and
optimal noise performance is not an absolute requirement, the
1.3 V analog rail can be provided directly from a switcher, and a
more integrated power management unit (PMU) approach can
be adopted. Figure 75 shows this approach.
Control Inputs (CTRL_IN3 to CTRL_IN0)
The AD9364 provides four edge detected control input pins. In
manual gain mode, the BBP can use these pins to change the gain
table index in real time. In transmit mode, the BBP can use two
of the pins to change the transmit gain in real time.

The AD9364 provides eight simultaneous real-time output signals
for use as interrupts to the BBP. These outputs can be configured to
output a number of internal settings and measurements that the
BBP can use when monitoring transceiver performance in different
situations. The control output pointer register selects what
information is output to these pins, and the control output enable
register determines which signals are activated for monitoring by
the BBP. Signals used for manual gain mode, calibration flags,
state machine states, and the ADC output are among the outputs
that can be monitored on these pins.
