High Linearity Frequency Conversion
The LT®5519 mixer is designed to meet the high linearity
requirements of wireless and cable infrastructure transmission systems. A high speed, internally 50Ω matched,
LO amplifier drives a double-balanced mixer core, allowing the use of a low power, single-ended LO source. An RF
output transformer is integrated, thus eliminating the
need for external matching components at the RF output,
while reducing system cost, component count, board area
and system-level variations. The IF port can be easily
matched to a broad range of frequencies for use in many
different applications.
The LT5519 mixer delivers +17.1dBm typical input 3rd
order intercept point at 1GHz with IF input signal levels of
–10dBm. The input 1dB compression point is typically
+5.5dBm. The IC requires only a single 5V supply.

GND (Pins 1, 4, 9, 12, 13, 16): Internal Grounds. These
pins are used to improve isolation and are not intended as
DC or RF grounds for the IC. Connect these pins to low
impedance grounds on the PCB for best performance.
IF+, IF – (Pins 2, 3): Differential IF Signal Inputs. A differential signal must be applied to these pins through DC
blocking capacitors. The pins must be connected to ground
with 100Ω resistors (the grounds must each be capable of
sinking about 18mA). For best LO leakage performance,
these pins should be DC isolated from each other. An
impedance transformation is required to match the IF input to the desired source impedance (typically 50Ω or 75Ω).
EN (Pin 5): Enable Pin. When the applied voltage is greater
than 3V, the IC is enabled. When the applied voltage is less

close to the pins as possible.
VCC3 (Pin 8): Power Supply Pin for the Internal Mixer.
Typical current consumption is about 36mA. This pin
should be externally connected to VCC through an inductor. A 39nH inductor is shown in Figure 2, though the value
is not critical.
RF –, RF+ (Pins 10, 11): Differential RF Outputs. One pin
may be DC connected to a low impedance ground to realize
a 50Ω single-ended output. No external matching components are required. A DC voltage should not be applied
across these pins, as they are internally connected through
a transformer winding.
VCC1 (Pin 6): Power Supply Pin for the Bias Circuits.
Typical current consumption is about 2mA. This pin
should be externally connected to VCC and have appropriate RF bypass capacitors.
LO+, LO – (Pins 14, 15): Differential Local Oscillator Inputs. The LT5519 works well with a single-ended source
driving the LO+ pin and the LO– pin connected to a low
impedance ground. No external 50Ω matching components are required. An internal resistor is connected
across these pins; therefore, a DC voltage should not be
applied across the inputs.
VCC2 (Pin 7): Power Supply Pin for the LO Buffer Circuits.
Typical current consumption is about 22mA. This pin
should have appropriate RF bypass capacitors as shown

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
The LT5519 consists of a double-balanced mixer, a high
performance LO buffer and bias/enable circuits. The RF
and LO ports may be driven differentially; however, they
are intended to be used in single-ended mode by connecting one input of each pair to ground. The IF input ports
must be DC-isolated from the source and driven differentially. The IF input should be impedance-matched for the
desired input frequency. The LO input has an internal
broadband 50Ω match with return loss better than 10dB
at frequencies up to 1800MHz. The RF output band ranges
from 700MHz to 1400MHz, with an internal RF transformer providing a 50Ω impedance match across the
band. Low side or high side LO injection can be used.
IF Input Port
The IF inputs are connected to the emitters of the doublebalanced mixer transistors, as shown in Figure 3. These
pins are internally biased and an external resistor must be
connected from each IF pin to ground to set the current
through the mixer core. The circuit has been optimized to
work with 100Ω resistors, which will result in approximately 18mA of DC current per side. For best LO leakage
performance, the resistors should be well matched; thus
resistors with 0.1% tolerance are recommended. If LO
leakage is not a concern, then lesser tolerance resistors
can be used. The symmetry of the layout is also important
for achieving optimum LO isolation.
The capacitors shown in Figure 3, C1 and C2, serve two
purposes. They provide DC isolation between the IF+ and
IF – ports, thus preventing DC interactions that could
cause unpredictable variations in LO leakage. They also

improve the impedance match by canceling excess inductance in the package and transformer. The input capacitor
value required to realize an impedance match at desired
frequency, f, can be estimated as follows:
C1 = C2 =
1
(2πf)2 (LIN + LEXT )
where; f is in units of Hz, LIN and LEXT are in Henry, and C1,
C2 are in Farad. LIN is the differential input inductance of
the LT5519, and is approximately 1.67nH. LEXT represents
the combined inductances of differential external components and transmission lines. For the evaluation board
shown in Figure 10, LEXT = 4.21nH. Thus, for f = 140MHz,
the above formula gives C1 = C2 = 220pF.
Table 1 lists the differential IF input impedance and reflection coefficient for several frequencies. A 4:1 balun can be
used to transform the impedance up to about 50Ω.

LO Input Port
The simplified circuit for the LO buffer input is shown in
Figure 4. The LO buffer amplifier consists of high speed
limiting differential amplifiers, optimized to drive the mixer
quad for high linearity. The LO + and LO – ports can be
driven differentially; however, they are intended to be
driven by a single-ended source. An internal resistor
connected across the LO + and LO – inputs provides a
broadband 50Ω impedance match. Because of the resistive match, a DC voltage at the LO input is not recommended. If the LO signal source output is not AC coupled,
then a DC blocking capacitor should be used at the LO
input.

Though the LO input is internally matched to 50Ω, there
may be some cases, particularly at higher frequencies or
with different source impedances, where a further optimized match is desired. Table 2 includes the single-ended
input impedance and reflection coefficient vs frequency
for the LO input for use in such cases.
Table 2. Single-Ended LO Input Impedance
RF + and RF – pins are connected together through the
secondary windings of the transformer; thus a DC voltage
should not be applied across these pins.
The impedance data for the RF output, listed in Table 3, can
be used to develop matching networks for different load
impedances.

RF Output Port
An internal RF transformer, shown in Figure 5, reduces the
mixer-core impedance to provide an impedance of 50Ω
across the RF + and RF – pins. The LT5519 is designed and
tested with the outputs configured for single-ended operation, as shown in the Figure 5; however, the outputs can be
used differentially as well. A center tap in the transformer
provides the DC connection to the mixer core and the
transformer provides DC isolation at the RF output. The

Operation at Different Input Frequencies
On the evaluation board shown in Figure 10, the input of
the LT5519 can be easily matched for different frequencies
by changing the capacitors, C1, C2 and C3. Capacitors C1
and C2 set the input matching frequency while C3 improves the LO to RF leakage performance. Decreasing the
value of C3 at higher input frequencies reduces its impact
on conversion gain. Table 4 lists some actual values used
at selected frequencies.

The performance was evaluated with the input tuned for
each of these frequencies and the results are summarized
in Figures 6-8. The same IF input balun transformer was
used for all measurements. In each case, the LO input

Without any external components on the RF output, the
internal transformer of the LT5519 provides a good 50Ω
impedance match for RF frequencies above approximately
850MHz. Below this frequency, the return loss drops
below 10dB and degrades the conversion gain. The addition of a single 10pF capacitor in series with the RF output
improves the match at lower RF frequencies, shifting the
10dB return loss point to about 700MHz, as demonstrated
in Figure 9. This change also results in an improvement of
the conversion gain.
