LTC5584
30MHz to 1.4GHz IQ
Demodulator with IIP2 and
DC Offset Control
DescripTion
The LTC
®
5584 is a direct conversion quadrature demodu-
lator optimized for high linearity receiver applications in
the 30MHz to 1.4GHz frequency range. It is also usable
in the 10MHz to 30MHz and 1.4GHz to 2GHz ranges with
reduced performance. It is suitable for communications
receivers where an RF signal is directly converted into I
and Q baseband signals with bandwidth of 530MHz or
higher. The LTC5584 incorporates balanced I and Q mix-
ers, LO buffer amplifiers and a precision, high frequency
quadrature phase shifter. In addition, the LTC5584 provides
four analog control voltage interface pins for IIP2 and DC
offset correction, greatly simplifying system calibration.
The high linearity of the LTC5584 provides excellent spur-
free dynamic range for the receiver. This direct conversion
demodulator can eliminate the need for intermediate fre-
quency (IF) signal processing, as well as the corresponding
requirements for image filtering and IF filtering. These
I/Q outputs can interface directly to channel-select filters
(LPFs) or to baseband amplifiers.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
Tests are performed with the test circuit of Figure 1.
Note 3:
The LTC5584 is guaranteed to be functional over the –40°C to
105°C case temperature operating range.
Note 4:
DSB noise figure is measured at the baseband frequency of 15MHz
with a small-signal noise source without any filtering on the RF input and
no other RF signal applied.
Note 5:
Performance at the RF frequencies listed is measured with external
RF and LO impedance matching, as shown in the table of Figure 1.
Note 6:
The complementary outputs (I
+
, I
–
and Q
+
, Q
–
) are combined
using a 180° phase-shift combiner.
Note 7:
Noise figure under blocking conditions (NF
BLOCKING
) is measured
at an output noise frequency of 60MHz with an RF input blocking signal at
f
LO
+ 1MHz. Both RF and LO input signals are appropriately filtered, as well
as the baseband output. NF
BLOCKING
measured at f
LO
of 160MHz, 460MHz
and 885MHz.
Note 8:
Voltage conversion gain is calculated from the average measured
power conversion gain of the I and Q outputs using the test circuit shown
in Figure 1. Power conversion gain is measured with a 100Ω differential
load impedance on the I and Q outputs.
Note 9:
Baseband outputs have a 100Ω external pull-up resistor to V
CC
as
shown in the test circuit shown in Figure 1.
Note 10:
Image rejection is calculated from the measured gain error and
phase error using the method listed in the appendix.
Note 11:
The DCOI, DCOQ, IP2I, IP2Q pins have an 8k internal resistor to
ground. The REF pin has a 2k internal resistor to ground. If unconnected,
these pins will float up to 500mV through internal current sources. A low
output resistance voltage source is recommended for driving these pins.
Note 12:
This is the recommended operating range, operation outside the
listed range is possible with degraded performance to some parameters.
Note 13:
DC offset measured differentially between I
+
and I
–
and between
Q
+
and Q
–
. The reported value is the mean of the absolute values of the
characterization data distribution.
Note 14:
Baseband amplitude is within 10% of final value.
Note 15:
Baseband amplitude is at least 30dB down from its on state.
