The AD6432 may also be used for other wireless TDMA standards using I/Q modulation. The AD6432’s receive signal path is based on the proven architecture of the AD607 and the AD6459. It consists of a mixer, gain-controlled amplifiers, integrated roofing filter and I/Q demodulators based on a PLL. The low noise, high-intercept variable-gain mixer is a doubly-balanced Gilbert-cell type. It has a nominal –13 dBm input-referred 1 dB compression point and a 0 dBm input-referred third-order intercept. This reference signal is normally provided by an external VCTCXO under the control of the radio’s digital signal processor. The transmit path consists of an I/Q modulator and buffer amplifier, suitable for carrier frequencies up to 300 MHz and provides an output power of –17.5 dBm in a 50 Ω system. The quadrature LO signals driving the I and Q modulator are generated internally by dividing by two the frequency of the signal presented at the differential LO port of the AD6432. In both the transmit and receive paths, onboard filters provide 30 dB of stopband attenuation. The AD6432 comes in a 44-lead plastic thin quad flatpack (TQFP) surface mount package. The gain-control input accepts an external control voltage input from an external AGC detector or a DAC. It provides an 80 dB gain range with 27.5 mV/dB gain scaling, where the mixer and the IF gains vary together. The I and Q demodulators provide inphase and quadrature baseband outputs to interface with Analog Devices’ AD7015 and AD6421 (GSM, DCS1800, PCS1900) baseband converters. An onboard quadrature VCO, externally phase-locked to the IF signal, drives the I and Q demodulators. The quadrature phase-locked oscillator (QPLO) requires no external components for frequency control or quadrature generation, and demodulates signals at standard GSM system IFs of 13 MHz, or 26 MHz with a reference input frequency of 13 MHz; or, in general, 1X or 2X the reference frequency. Maximum reference frequency is 25 MHz. REV. 0 Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.

In the receive path, it consists of a variable-gain UHF mixer and linear two-stage IF strip, both of which together provide a calibrated voltage-controlled gain range of more than 80 dB, followed by a tunable IF bandpass filter and dual quadrature demodulators. These are driven by inphase and quadrature clocks generated by a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) locked to a corrected external reference. In the transmit path it consists of a quadrature modulator followed by a low-pass filter. The quadrature modulator is driven by quadrature frequencies that are generated internally by dividing the external local oscillator frequency by two. A CMOS-compatible power-down interface completes the AD6432. The AD6432 provides most of the active circuitry required to realize a complete low power, single-conversion superheterodyne time division transceiver, or the latter part of a doubleconversion transceiver, at input receive frequencies up to 350 MHz with an IF from 10 MHz to 50 MHz and transmit frequencies up to 300 MHz. The internal I/Q demodulators, with their associated phase-locked loop and the internal I/Q modulator, support a wide variety of modulation modes, including n-PSK, n-QAM, and GMSK. A single positive supply voltage of 3 V is required (2.7 V minimum, 3.6 V maximum) at a typical supply current of 13 mA at midgain in receive mode and 13 mA in transmit mode. In the following discussion, VPOS will be used to denote the power supply voltage, which will be assumed to be 3 V. 4.7kΩ 25 IRXN RFHI RFLO MXOP 10 9 14 MXOM 4.7kΩ IFIP 13 16 LC BANDPASS FILTER 3MHz 26 IRXP 4.7kΩ 23 QRXN 17 IFIM 4.7kΩ 90 0 24 QRXP QUADRATURE VCO DIVIDE BY 1 OR 2 PHASE DETECTOR 21 GREF 0 2 LOLO 5 90 33 FREF 29 FLTR 20 GAIN GAIN TEMP.

Functional Block Diagram REV. 0 –11– AD6432 Receive Mixer 250Ω The UHF mixer is an improved Gilbert-cell design that can operate from low frequencies (it is internally dc-coupled) up to an RF input of 350 MHz. The dynamic range at the input of the mixer is determined, at the upper end, by the maximum input signal level of ± 71 mV (–13 dBm in 50 Ω 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 thirdorder intercept, which for the AD6432 are –13 dBm and 0 dBm, respectively, in a 50 Ω system. The mixer’s RF input port is differential, that is, pin RFLO is functionally identical to RFHI, and these nodes are internally biased. The RF port can be modeled as a parallel RC circuit as shown in Figure 29. The local oscillator input of the receive mixer is internally provided by the LO divided by two. MXOP VPRX 250Ω MXOM Figure 30. Mixer Output Port IF Amplifier Most of the gain in the AD6432 receive section is provided by the IF amplifier strip, which comprises two stages. Both are fully differential and each has a gain span of 31 dB for the AGC voltage range of 0.2 V to 2.4 V. Thus, in conjunction with the variable gain of the mixer, the total gain span is 80 dB. The overall IF gain varies from –14 dB to +48 dB for the nominal AGC voltage of 0.2 V to 2.4 V. Maximum gain is at VGAIN = 0.2 V. The IF input is differential, at IFHI and IFLO. Figure 32 shows a simplified schematic of the IF interface modeled as parallel RC network. RFHI RSH CSH The operative range of the IF amplifier is approximately 50 MHz from IFHI and IFLO through the demodulator. RFLO IFHI Figure 28.

Suggested IF Filter Inserted Between the Mixer’s Output Port and the Amplifier’s Input Port The conversion gain is measured between the mixer input and the input of this filter, and varies between –3 dB and +15 dB. Table I. Filter Component Values for Selected Frequencies Frequency C1 L1 C2 13 MHz 26 MHz 27 pF 22 pF 0.82 µH 0.39 µH 180 pF 82 pF The maximum permissible signal level between MXOP and MXOM is determined by the maximum gain control voltage. The mixer output port, having pull-up resistors of 250 Ω to VPRX, is shown in Figure 30. The overall gain of the AD6432, expressed in decibels, is linear with respect to the AGC voltage VGAIN at Pin GAIN. The gain of all sections is maximum when VGAIN is 0.2, and falls off as the bias is increased to VGAIN = 2.4 V and is independent of the power supply voltage. The gain of all stages changes simultaneously. The AD6432’s gain scaling is also temperaturecompensated. Note that GAIN pin of the AD6432 is an input driven by an external low impedance voltage source, normally a DAC, under the control of radio’s digital processor. The gain-control scaling is directly proportional to the reference voltage applied to the Pin GREF and is independent of the power supply voltage. When this input is set to the nominal value of 1.2 V, the scale is nominally 27.5 mV/dB (36.4 dB/V). Under these conditions, 80 dB of gain range (mixer plus IF) corresponds to a control voltage of 0.2 V < = VG < = 2.4 V. The final centering of this 2.2 V range depends on the insertion losses of the IF filters used. Pin GREF can be tied to an external voltage reference, VREF, provided, for example, by a AD1580 (1.21 V) voltage reference. When using the Analog Devices AD7013 (IS54, TETRA and satellite receiver applications) and AD7015 or AD6421 (GSM, DCS1800, PCS1900) baseband converters, the external reference may also be provided by the reference output of the –12– REV. 0 AD6432 baseband converters. The interface between the AD6432 and the AD6421 baseband converter is shown in Figure 35. The AD7015 baseband converter provides a VR of 1.23 V; an auxiliary DAC in the AD7015 can be used to generate the AGC voltage. 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. Tunable Filter and I/Q Demodulators The demodulators (I and Q) receive their inputs internally from the IF amplifier through a two-pole tunable-frequency bandpass filter. This filter is centered on the IF frequency and its bandwidth is approximately equal to forty per cent of the IF frequency. The filter attenuates the amount of noise present at the input of the demodulators. Each demodulator comprises a full-wave synchronous detector followed by a 3 MHz, two-pole low-pass filter, producing differential outputs at pins IRXP and IRXN, and QRXP and QRXN. Using the I and Q demodulators for IFs above 50 MHz is precluded by the 10 MHz to 50 MHz range of the PLL used in the Demodulator section. The I and Q outputs are differential and can swing up to 2 V p-p at the low supply voltage of 2.7 V. They are nominally centered at 1.5 V independent of power supply. They can therefore directly drive the receive ADCs in the AD7015 or AD6421 baseband converters, which require an amplitude of 1.23 V to fully load them when driven by a differential signal. The conversion gain of the I and Q demodulators is 17 dB. A simple 1-pole RC filter at the I and Q outputs, with its corner above the modulation bandwidth is sufficient to attenuate undesired outputs. The design of the RC filter is eased by the 4.7 kΩ resistor integrated into each I and Q output pin. Phase-Locked Loop The demodulators are driven by quadrature signals that are provided by a variable-frequency quadrature oscillator (VFQO), phase-locked to the reference frequency. This frequency is equal or double the frequency of the signal applied to Pin FREF. When the quadrature signals are at the IF, inphase and quadrature baseband outputs are generated at the I output (IRXP and IRXN) and Q output (QRXP and QRXN), respectively. The quadrature accuracy of the VFQO is typically within ± 1° at 26 MHz. A simplified diagram of the FREF input is shown in Figure 32. VPOS 5kΩ 20kΩ FREF integral sample-hold system ensures that the frequencycontrol voltage on Pin FLTR remains held during powerdown, so reacquisition of the carrier occurs in less than 80 µs. In practice, the probability of a phase mismatch at powerup is high, so the worst-case linear settling period to full lock needs to be considered in making filter choices. This is typically < 80 µs for a locking error of ± 3° at an IF of 26 MHz. Note that the VFQO always provides quadrature between its own I and Q outputs, but the phasing between it and the reference carrier will swing around the final value during the PLL’s settling time. I and Q Transmit Modulator The transmit modulator uses two standard mixer cells whose linear inputs are the differential voltages at the input Pins ITXP/ITXN and QTXP/QTXN, respectively and whose local oscillator inputs are derived from a divide-by-two cell, driven from the input applied to pins LOHI/LOLO. The outputs of the mixers are summed and converted to singlesided form. The output stage also filters the higher harmonics, minimizing the need for filtering before this signal is presented to the up-converter in a typical transmitter configuration. The I and Q inputs are intended to be driven using a fully-differential drive (for example from an AD7015 or AD6421) and need to be biased to a common-mode dc level of 1.2 V, with a typical differential amplitude of ± 1.028 V (that is, ± 514 mV at each input). Some small variation in the drive conditions is allowable, but will result in nonoptimal performance. The minimum instantaneous input should not go below 0.6 V and the maximum voltage should not exceed 1.8 V using a 2.7 V supply (in general, VP – 0.9 V). The impedance at these inputs is several MΩ in parallel with approximately 1 pF; the bias currents flow out of the pins and are ~100 nA. These conditions permit the use of a high impedance low-pass filter if desired ahead of the modulator inputs. The dc modulator output is at a constant dc level of 1.5 V, independent of temperature and supply voltage. It is designed to drive a 150 Ω load and should either be matched into a 50 Ω load, using a simple LC network, or padded to 150 Ω with a series 100 Ω resistor (Figure 33). The output is short-circuit-proof. The output modulated signal at pin MODO has a power of –16 dBm when driving a 50 Ω load with a 100 Ω series resistor, as shown in Figure 33. This power is specified at a carrier frequency of 272 MHz with a maximum dc differential signal applied to the I or Q channel while the other channel has no differential signal applied. The transmit modulator is enabled only when the TXPU input (Pin 39) is taken HI. 5kΩ 100pF 100Ω MODO 50 A PTAT 50Ω Figure 32. Simplified Schematic of the FREF Interface Figure 33. Output Impedance of Pin MODO Is Designed to Drive a 50 Ω Load with a 100 Ω Series Resistor The VFQO 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 VPOS. The use of an REV. 0 –13– AD6432 Local Oscillator Input USING THE AD6432 The Local Oscillator (LO) input port is differential and consists of two functionally identical pins, LOHI and LOLO. It accepts a signal of 200 mV p-p at a frequency between 200 MHz and 600 MHz. Inputs LOHI and LOLO are internally biased to the positive supply (Pin 3) through 500 Ω resistors. While not usually needed, these inputs may be driven through a simple matching network to lower the LO power required from a 50 Ω source. Single-sided drives are not recommended. The most noticeable effects will be degradation of phase balance and an increase in phase noise. In this section, we will focus on a few areas of special importance through the real life example of interfacing the AD6432 to the AD6421 Base Band converter. As is true of any wideband high gain components, great care is needed in PC board layout. The location of the particular grounding points must be considered with due regard for the possibility of unwanted signal coupling. This signal is fed internally to a divider by two that generates the mixing signals for the receive mixer and the transmit modulator. In order to meet the phase and amplitude balance of the transmit quadrature modulator, as stated in the specification table, the duty cycle of the LO signal must be such that the second harmonic is at least 30 dBc below the fundamental. I/Q Convention The AD6432 is a complete IF subsystem. Although not a requirement for using the AD6432, most applications will use a high side LO injection on the receive mixer. The I and Q convention on the receive section is such that when a spectrum with I leading Q is presented to the input of the receive mixer and a high side LO is presented to the receive mixer, I still leads Q at the baseband output of the AD6432. Likewise, the I and Q convention on the transmit section is such that when a spectrum with I leading Q is presented at the baseband input of the modulator, I still leads Q at the output of the modulator. Auxiliary Op Amp An auxiliary operational amplifier is available although it is important to remember that it is active only when TXPU is high. The positive and negative input terminals are PCAP and PCAM with PCAO being the output pin. The inputs are the bases of PNP transistors with a typical bias current of approximately 150 nA. The input offset voltage is typically < 4 mV and the open loop gain of the amplifier is 60 dB. The amplifier is unity gain stable with a –3 dB Bandwidth greater than 40 MHz. The input signal voltage range is from 0.1 V to VPOS – 2.1 V. Bias System The AD6432 operates from a single supply, VPOS, usually 3 V, at a typical supply current in receive mode of 13 mA at midgain and TA = +25°C, corresponding to a power consumption of 39 mW. Any voltage from 2.7 V to 3.6 V may be used. The high sensitivity of the AD6432 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 box enclosing all components, with the minimum number of needed signal connectors (RF, LO, I and Q outputs) in miniature coax form. Interfacing the AD6432 to the AD6421 Baseband Converter The AD6421 Baseband Converter contains all the necessary elements to drive the AD6432. Receive Interface The interface between the two devices provides for quadrature I and Q channels that can be driven either differentially or in the single-ended configuration. Figure 35 shows the interface between the AD6432 and the AD6421 for the differential configuration. The respective pins (IRXP, IRXN, QRXP and QRXN) are dc coupled through 4.7 kΩ resistors, which are integrated within the AD6432. Balanced coupling may be used with a single 50 pF capacitor between the complementary signals as illustrated in Figure 35. This low-pass filter is the only external filter required to prevent aliasing of the baseband analog signal prior to sampling within the AD6421. The AD6421 has an external autocalibration mode that can calibrate out any offsets resulting from the IF demodulation circuitry. Transmit Interface The corresponding transmit (ITXP, ITXN, QTXP and QTXN) pins of the AD6421 and AD6432 are directly connected as these have compatible bias levels for dc coupling. To meet the more stringent phase two filter mask requirements, an external lowpass filter may be required, depending on the filtering capabilities of the radio section. A passive second order low-pass filter network with a cutoff frequency to 600 kHz is suggested as shown in Figure 34. Resistor values should range from 1.5 kΩ–3.0 kΩ to minimize AD6432 offsets. The bias system includes a fast-acting active high CMOS-compatible power-up switch, allowing the part to idle at less than 100 µA when disabled. Biasing is generally proportional-toabsolute temperature (PTAT) to ensure stable gain with temperature. Other special biasing techniques are used to ensure very accurate gain, stable over the full temperature range. ITXP ITXP ITXN ITXN QTXP QTXP QTXN QTXN AD6432 AD6421 Figure 34. GSM Phase II Transmit Interface –14– REV. 0 AD6432 Gain Control The AD6432 contains a Gain TC Compensation circuit that provides a nominal 80 dB dynamic range of automatic gain control. The GAIN input pin of the gain circuit is driven by the AD6421 Automatic Gain Control DAC (AGCDAC), an integrated auxiliary DAC of the AD6421, controllable by the radio’s digital processor. This connection should be made through a single pole RC to reduce high frequency noise into the gain control circuit. The values shown in Figure 35 provide a –3 dB point at approximately 1 MHz, sufficient for the gain control. Phase-Lock Loop Control The AD6432 PLL/QVCO circuits require an external frequency reference for coherent modulation and demodulation of the baseband and IF signal. The external frequency reference control for the AD6432 PLL/QVCOs is typically generated through a 13 MHz voltage controlled temperature compensated crystal oscillator (VCTCXO). The control voltage for the VCTCXO is generated by an auxiliary DAC in the AD6421 designated as the Automatic Frequency Control DAC (AFCDAC). The PLL loop is closed through the radio’s algorithm signal processor, which drives the AD6421 AFCDAC. The AD6432 FREF pin provides the VCTCXO reference signal to the AD6432 RX quadrature VCO (QVCO) circuit. The AD6432 FREF input must be an ac coupled signal 200 mV p-p or greater. The reference for the UHF TX QVCO and RX IF down converter is synthesized from the VCTCXO output reference signal through an external frequency synthesizer and VCO. This UHF reference is an ac coupled input into AD6432 LOHI and LOLO pins. An external series RC network connected between FLTR (Pin 29) and the VPOS supply pin provides the proper loop filter for the VCO/PLL as shown in Figure 35.

A nominal 1.2 V reference for GREF can be provided by the AD6421 through BREFOUT. BREFOUT is a buffered output version of BREFCAP reference. This reference output feature is enabled on the AD6421 by setting Bit 2 in control register BCRB (BCRB2). See AD6421 data sheet. The VGAIN input range for this control signal is 0.2 V– 2.4 V where gain is maximum at 0.2 V and falls off as VGAIN is increased to 2.4 V. To avoid saturating the input to the baseband converter, the automatic gain control function of the receiver must limit the output signal swing of the AD6432 to ± 1.2 V, the full signal range of the input.

Open ended, this amplifier will swing full scale from rail to rail. It is recommended that this amplifier be connected in the unity feedback configuration when not being used by connecting PCAO to PCAM.
