GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADL5802 utilizes high linearity doubly balanced active
mixer cores with integrated LO buffer amplifiers to provide
high dynamic range frequency conversion from 100MHz to
6GHz. The mixers benefit from a proprietary linearization
architecture which provides enhanced IP3 performance when
subject to high input levels. A bias adjust feature allows the
input linearity, SSB Noise Figure, and DC current to be
optimized using a single control pin. The high input linearity
allows the device to be used in demanding cellular applications
where in-band blocking signals may otherwise result in
degradation in dynamic performance. The balanced active
mixer arrangement provides superb LO to RF and LO to IF
leakage, typically better than -40dBm. The IF outputs are
internally terminated to a 200-Ω source impedance and provide
a typical voltage conversion gain of 7.5 dB when loaded into a
200-Ω load.

The ADL5802 is fabricated using a SiGe high performance IC
process. The device is available in a compact 4mm x 4mm 24lead LFCSP package and operates over a −40°C to +85°C
temperature range. An evaluation board is also available.

High IP3 bias control. For high IP3 performance apply ~4V. Improved NF performance and lower supply
current can be set by applying ~2V – 3V to the VSET pin. A resistor can be connected to the supply to raise
the voltage while a resistor to GND will lower the voltage.

Function
Power Supply Decoupling. Nominal supply decoupling consists a
0.01 μF capacitor to ground in parallel with 10pF capacitors to
ground positioned as close to the device as possible. Series resistors
are provided for enhanced supply decoupling using optional ferrite
chip inductors.
C5, C12, C13, C14, T3, T5,
RF1, RF2
RF Channel 1 and Channel 2 Input Interfaces. Input channels are accoupled through C5, C12, C13 and C14. T3 and T4 are 1:1 baluns
used to interface to the 50-Ω differential inputs.

R15, R16, R20, R21,
T2, T4,
IF1, IF2
IF Channel 1 and Channel 2 Output Interfaces. The 200-Ω open
collector IF output interfaces are biased through the center taps of
4:1 impedance transformers at T2 and T4. C15 and C16 provide local
bypassing with R20 and R21 available for additional supply
bypassing. L1, L2, L3, and L4 provide the options when pull-up
choke inductors are used to bias the open-collector outputs. R6, R7,
R13, R14, R15, and R16 are provided for IF filtering and matching
options.
LO Interface. C2 and C3 provide ac-coupling for the local oscillator
input. T1 is a 1:1 balun to allow single-ended interfacing to the
differential 50-Ω local oscillator input. R4 and R5 provide the options
when differential LO interfaces are needed.
ENABLE Interface. The ADL5802 can be disabled using the 3-pin
ENBL1 header. The ENBL pin is pulled up to VPOS through R9. R1 is
provided as an optional termination for the high impendace enable
interface.

VSET Bias Control. R22 and R23 form an optional resistor divider
network between VPOS and GND, allowing for a fixed bias setting.
The default values are set up for 3.8 V at the VSET pin.
