I-Channel and Q-Channel Outputs
Each of the I-channel and Q-channel outputs is internally
connected to V
bias voltage is V
or AC coupled to the external loads. The differential output
impedance of the demodulator is 120Ω in parallel with a
5pF internal capacitor, forming a lowpass filter with a
–3dB corner frequency at 265MHz. R

by using differential-to-single-ended conversion) for best
RF performance, including NF and IM2.

The phase relationship between the I-channel output sig-
nal and Q-channel output signal is fixed. When the LO
input frequency is larger (or smaller) than the RF input
frequency, the Q-channel outputs (Q

When AC output coupling is used, the resulting highpass
filter’s –3dB roll-off frequency is defined by the R-C
constant of the blocking capacitor and R

Care should be taken when the demodulator’s outputs are
DC coupled to the external load, to make sure that the I/Q
mixers are biased properly. If the current drain from the
outputs exceeds 6mA, there can be significant degrada-
tion of the linearity performance. Each output can sink no
more than 13mA when the outputs are connected to an
external load with a DC voltage higher than V
The I/Q output equivalent circuit is shown in Figure 7.
