FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
•
The TRF371109 is a highly linear direct-conversion
quadrature receiver. The TRF371109 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 TRF371109 integrates programmable baseband
low-pass filters that attenuate nearby interference,
eliminating the need for an external baseband filter.

Two consecutive gain settings.
Two CW tones at an offset from LO frequency smaller than the baseband-filter cutoff frequency. Performance is set by baseband
circuitry regardless of LO frequency.
Single CW tone at an offset from LO frequency smaller than the baseband-filter cutoff frequency. Performance is set by baseband
circuitry regardless of LO frequency.
Baseband low-pass filter cutoff frequency is programmable through SPI register LPFADJ. LPFADJ = 0 corresponds to max bandwidth;
LPFADJ = 255 corresponds to minimum BW.
Filter Ctrl setting equal to 0.
Attenuation relative to passband gain.
The typical value for this parameter is the load impedance that the device is able to drive.
LO frequency set to 900 MHz. Power-in set to –40 dBm. Gain setting at 24. DC offset calibration engaged. Input signal set at 2.5-MHz
offset.
LO power outside of this range is possible but may introduce degraded performance.

(10) For broadband frequency sweeps, the Picosecond balun (model #5310A) is used at the RF and LO input. For frequency bands between
600 MHz and 1250 MHz, the Murata balun LDB21897M005C-001 is used. Performance parameters adjusted for balun insertion loss.
Recommended baluns for respective frequency band are listed:
700 MHz and 900 MHz: Murata LDB21897M005C-001 (or equivalent)
1740 MHz: Murata LDB211G8005C-001 (or equivalent)
1950 MHz: Murata LDB211G9005C-001 (or equivalent)
2025 MHz: Murata LDB211G9005C-001 (or equivalent)
2500 MHz: Murata LDB212G4005C-001 (or equivalent)
3500 MHz: Johanson 3600BL14M050E (or equivalent)
(11) Gain defined as voltage gain from MIXIN (VRMS) to either baseband output: BBI/QOUT (VRMS)
(12) Two CW tones of –30 dBm at fRF1 = fLO ±(2 ● fc) and fRF2= fLO ±[(4 ● fc) + 100 kHz]; fc = Baseband filter 1-dB cutoff frequency.
(13) Because the two-tone interference sources are outside of the baseband filter bandwidth, the results are inherently independent of the
gain setting. Intermodulation parameters are recorded at maximum gain setting, where measurement accuracy is best.
(14) Two CW tones at –30 dBm at fRF1 = fLO ±(2 ● fc) and fRF2= fLO ±[(2 ● fc) + 100 kHz]; IM2 product measured at 100-kHz output
frequency. fC = Baseband filter 1-dB cutoff frequency.

Measured with broadband Picosecond 5310A balun on the LO input and single ended connection on the RF input. Performance gain
adjusted for the 3-dB differential to single-ended insertion loss.
(2) Performance ripple because of impedance mismatch on the RF input.
(3) Measured with the maximum baseband gain (BB gain) setting, unless otherwise noted.
(4) Measured with broadband Picosecond 5310A balun on the LO input and RF input. Balun insertion loss is compensated for in the
measurement.
(5) Out-of-band intercept point is defined with tones that are at least two times farther out than the programmed LPF corner frequency that
generate an intermodulation tone that falls inside the LPF passband.
(6) Out-of-band intercept point depends on the demodulator performance and not the baseband circuitry; the measurement is taken at max
gain but is valid across all PGA settings.
(7) Measured with filter in bypass mode to characterize the passband circuitry across baseband frequencies.
(8) Data taken with LO frequency = 900 MHz.
(9) Normalized gain.
(10) Relative to the low frequency offset group delay in bypass mode.
(11) Idet set to 50 µA; RF signal is off; LO at 2.4 GHz at 0 dBm; Det filter set to 1 kHz; Clk Div set to 1024.
(12) In-band tone set to 1 MHz; out-of-band jammer tone set to specified relative offset ratio from the programmed corner frequency. Jammer
tone is increased until in-band tone compresses 1 dB.

REGISTER INFORMATION
SERIAL INTERFACE PROGRAMMING REGISTERS DEFINITION
The TRF371109 features a three-wire serial programming interface (SPI) that controls an internal 32-bit shift
register. There are three signals that must be applied: CLOCK (pin 48), serial DATA (pin 47), and STROBE (pin
46). DATA (DB0–DB31) is loaded LSB-first and is read on the rising edge of CLOCK. STROBE is asynchronous
to CLOCK, and at its rising edge the data in the shift register is loaded into the selected internal register. The first
two bits (DB0–DB1) are the address to select the available internal registers.
READBACK Mode
The TRF371109 implements the capability to read back the content of the serial programming interface registers.
In addition, it is possible to read back the status of the internal DAC registers that are automatically set after an
auto dc-offset calibration. Each readback is composed by two phases: writing followed by the actual reading of
the internal data (refer to Figure 42).
During the writing phase, a command is sent to the TRF371109 to set it in readback mode and to specify which
register is to be read. In the proper reading phase, at each rising clock edge, the internal data is transferred into
the READBACK pin and can be read at the following falling edge (LSB first). The first clock after LE goes high
(end of writing cycle) is idle, and the following 32 clock pulses transfer the internal register content to the
READBACK pin.

options.
Sets programmable low-pass filter corner frequency. Range = 255
(lowest corner frequency) to 0 (highest corner frequency). Default value
is 128.
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 Table 3 (see the Application Information section for
more detail on the dc offset calibration and the detector bandwidth).

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Gain Control
The TRF371109 integrates a baseband 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 1 bits<12,16>). Alternatively,
the PGA can be programmed by a combination of five bits programmed through the SPI and three parallel
external bits (pins Gain_B2, Gain_B1, Gain_B0). The external bits are used to reduce the PGA setting quickly
without having to reprogram the SPI registers. The fast gain control multiplier bit (register 1, bit 28) sets the step
size of each bit to either 1 dB or 2 dB. This configuration allows a fast gain reduction of 0 dB to 7 dB in 1-dB
steps or 0 dB to 14 dB in 2-dB steps.
The PGA gain control word (BBgain<0,4>) can be programmed to a setting between 0 and 24. This word is the
SPI programmed gain (register 1 bits<12,16>) minus the parallel external three bits, as shown in Figure 43. Note
that the PGA gain setting rails at 0 and does not go any lower. Typical applications set the nominal PGA gain
setting to 17 and use the fast gain control bits to protect the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in the event of a
strong input jammer signal.

For example, if a PGA gain setting of 19 is desired, then the SPI can be programmed directly to a value of 19.
Alternatively, the SPI gain register can be programmed to 24 and the parallel external bits set to '101' (binary),
corresponding to 5-dB reduction.
Automated DC Offset Calibration
The TRF371109 provides an automatic calibration procedure for adjusting the dc offset in the baseband I/Q
paths. The internal calibration requires a clock in order to function. The TRF371109 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 2, bit 28) to '1'. The internal oscillator frequency is set through the
Osc_Trim bits (register 2, bits <29,31>). The oscillator frequency is detailed in Table 8.

The output full-scale range of the internal dc offset correction digital-to-analog converters (DACs) is
programmable (IDET_B<0,1, register 2 bit<22,23>). The range is shown in Table 9.

The I- and Q-channel output maximum dc offset correction range can be calculated by multiplying the values in
Table 9 by the baseband PGA gain. The LSB of the digital correction depends 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-channels with the PGA gain set for the nominal condition. The dc offset correction DAC output
is affected by changes in the PGA gain; if the initial calibration yields optimum results, however, then PGA gain
adjustment during normal operation does 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 maintains a
balance of less than 10 mV as the gain is adjusted ±7 dB.
The dc offset correction DACs are programmed from the internal registers when the AUTO_CAL bit (register 2,
bit 24) is set to '1'. At start-up, the internal registers are loaded at half-scale, corresponding to a decimal value of
128. The auto calibration is initiated by toggling the EN_AUTOCAL bit (register 2, bit 5) to '1'. When the
calibration is complete, this bit automatically resets to '0'. During calibration, the RF Local Oscillator (LO) must be
applied.
The dc offset DAC state is stored in the internal registers and maintained as long as the power supply remains
on, or until a new calibration begins.
The required clock speed for the optimum calibration is determined by the internal detector behavior (integration
bandwidth, gain, and sensitivity). The input bandwidth of the detector can be adjusted by changing the cutoff
frequency of the RC low-pass filter (LPF) in front of the detector (register 1, bits 25-26). EN_FLT_B0 controls the
resistor (bypass = '1') and EN_FLT_B1 controls the capacitor (bypass = '1'). The typical 3-dB cutoff frequencies
of the detector bandwidth are summarized in Table 3. The clock speed can be slowed down by selecting a clock
divider ratio (register 2, bits 25-27).
The detector has more averaging time the slower the clock; therefore, 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 divide-by-1. The auto
calibration yields a dc offset balance between the differential baseband output ports (I and Q) that is less than 15
mV. Some minor improvement may be obtained by increasing the averaging of the detector through increasing
the clock divider up to 256.
On the other hand, 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.
Of course, an increase in the averaging is possible by increasing the clock divider at the expense of a longer
converging time. The convergence time can be calculated by the following:
(Auto_Cal_Clk_Cycles) ´ (Clk_Divider)
tc =
Osc_Freq
(1)
For the case with a clock divider of 1024 and with the nominal oscillator frequency of 900 kHz, the convergence
time is:
(9) ´ (1024)
tc =
= 10.24 ms
900 kHz

Alternate Method for Adjusting DC Offset
The internal registers that control the internal dc current DAC are accessible through the SPI and provide a
user-programmable method for implementing the dc offset calibration. To employ this option, the CAL_SEL bit
must be 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_BIT<0,7> and QDAC_BIT<0,7> bits) to cancel the
dc offset.
PCB Layout Guidelines
The TRF371109 device is fitted with a ground slug on the back of the package that must be soldered to the
printed circuit board (PCB) ground with adequate ground vias to ensure good thermal and electrical connections.
The recommended via pattern and ground pad dimensions are shown in Figure 44. The recommended via
diameter is 8 mils (0.2 mm). 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 no-connect (NC) pins
can also be tied to the ground plane.
Decoupling capacitors at each of the supply pins are recommended. The high-frequency decoupling capacitors
for the RF mixers (VCCMIX) should be placed close to the 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
approximately 10 pF or lower. The other decoupling capacitors at the other supply pins should be kept as close
as possible to the respective pins.
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 that the quadrature balance of the device is not impaired. The
I/Q output traces should be routed as differential pairs and the respective 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 the respective
lengths kept equal. If an RF balun is used to convert a single-ended input to a differential input, then the RF
balun should be placed close to the device. Implement the RF balun layout according to the manufacturer
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.

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 TRF371109
depends on the amplitude and phase balance of the RF balun; therefore, 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

ADC Interface
The TRF3711 has an integrated ADC driver buffer that allows direct connection to an ADC without additional
active circuitry. The common-mode voltage generated by the ADC can be directly supplied to the TRF3711
through the VCM pin (pin 24). Otherwise, a nominal common-mode voltage of 1.5 V should be applied to that
pin. The TRF3711 device can operate with a common-mode voltage from 1.5 V to 2.8 V without any negative
imact on the output performance. Figure 46 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 TRF371109 is the centerpiece component of a high-performance, direct-downconversion receiver. This
device is a highly-integrated, direct-downconversion demodulator that requires minimal additional devices to
complete the signal chain. A signal chain block diagram example is shown in Figure 47.

Figure 47. Block Diagram of Direct Downconvert 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 bandpass filter (BPF) is selected at the frequency band of interest to
prevent unwanted signals and images outside the band from reaching the demodulator. The TRF371109
incorporates the direct downconvert demodulation, baseband filtering, and baseband gain-control functions. An
external synthesizer, such as the TRF3761, provides the LO source to the TRF371109. The differential outputs
of the TRF3761 directly match with the LO input of the TRF371109. The quadrature outputs (I/Q) of the
TRF371109 directly drive the input to the ADC. A dual ADC such as the ADS5232 12-bit, 65-MSPS ADC
matches perfectly with the differential I/Q output of the TRF371109. In addition, the common-mode output
voltage generated by the ADS5232 is fed directly into the common-mode ports (pin 24) to ensure that the
optimum dynamic range of the ADC is maintained.
