GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADL5360 utilizes two highly linear doubly balanced passive
mixer cores along with integrated RF and LO balancing
circuitry to enable single-ended operation. The ADL5360
incorporates two RF baluns allowing for optimal main and
diversity mixer performance over a 700 to 1000 MHz RF input
frequency range using low-side LO injection. The balanced
passive mixer arrangement provides good LO to RF leakage,
typically better than -25dBm, and excellent intermodulation
performance. The balanced mixer cores also provide extremely
high input linearity allowing the device to be used in
demanding cellular applications where in-band blocking signals
may otherwise result in the degradation of dynamic
performance. High linearity IF buffer amps follow the passive
mixer cores, to yield a typical power conversion gain of 9.5dB.
(For a higher IIP3 version of the dual mixer without the IF
amplifiers, please contact the factory).

commensurate with the desired level of performance. An
additional 3V logic pin is provided to power down (<100uA)
the circuit when desired.
For low voltage applications, the ADL5360 is capable of
operation at voltages down to 3V with substantially reduced DC
current.
The ADL5360 is fabricated using a BiCMOS high performance
IC process. The device is available in a 6mm x 6mm 36-lead
LFCSP package and operates over a −40°C to +85°C
temperature range. An evaluation board is also available.
The ADL5360 provides two switched LO paths that can be
utilized in TDD applications where it is desirable to rapidly
alternate between two local oscillators. LO current can be
externally set using a resistor to minimize DC current

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.
Z1-Z4, C2, C3, C6, C7, C9,
C22
RF Main and Diversity Input Interface. Main and Diversity input
channels are ac-coupled through C9 and C22. Z1-Z4 provides
additional component placement for external matching/filter
networks. C2, C3, C6, and C7 provide bypassing for the center taps
of the main and diversity on-chip input baluns.
IF Main and Diversity Output Interface. The open collector IF output
interfaces are biased through pull-up choke inductors L1, L2, L4, and
L5, with R3 and R6 available for additional supply bypassing. T1 and
T2 are 4:1 impedance transformers used to provide a single ended IF
output interface, with C27 and C28 providing center-tap bypassing.
C17, C19, C20, C29, C30, C31, C32, and C33 ensure an ac-coupled
output interface. R9 and R10 should be removed for balanced
output operation.
LO Interface. C14 and C16 provide ac-coupling for the LOI1 and LOI2
local oscillator inputs. LOSEL selects the appropriate LO input for
both mixer cores. R15 provides a pull-down to ensure LOI2 is
enabled when the LOSEL jumper is removed. Jumper can be
removed to allow LOSEL interface to be excercised using external
logic generator.
PWDN Interface. When the PWDN 2-pin shunt is inserted the
ADL5356 is powered down. When open R19 pulls the PWDN logic
low and enables the device. Jumper can be removed to allow PWDN
interface to be excercised using external logic generator. It is
permissible to ground the pwrdn pin for nominal operation.
Bias Control. R16 and R17 form a voltage divider to provide a 3V for
logic control, bypassed to ground through C34. R7, R8, R11, R12,
R13, and R14 provide resistor programmability of VGS0, VGS1 and
VGS2. Typically these nodes can be hard-wired for nominal
operation. It is permissible to ground these pins for nominal
operation. R2 and R5 set the bias point for the internal LO buffers. R1
and R4 set the bias point for the internal IF amplifiers. L3 and L6 are
external inductors used to improve isolation and common mode
rejection.
