CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ADL5382 can be divided into five sections: the local
oscillator (LO) interface, the RF voltage-to-current (V-to-I)
converter, the mixers, the differential emitter follower outputs,
and the bias circuit. A detailed block diagram of the device is
shown in Figure 39.
The LO interface generates two LO signals at 90° of phase
difference to drive two mixers in quadrature. RF signals are
converted into currents by the V-to-I converters that feed into
the two mixers. The differential I and Q outputs of the mixers
are buffered via emitter followers. Reference currents to each
section are generated by the bias circuit. A detailed description
of each section follows.
LO INTERFACE
The LO interface consists of a polyphase quadrature splitter
followed by a limiting amplifier. The LO input impedance is set
by the polyphase, which splits the LO signal into two differential
signals in quadrature. Each quadrature LO signal then passes
through a limiting amplifier that provides the mixer with a
limited drive signal. For optimal performance, the LO inputs
must be driven differentially.

V-TO-I CONVERTER
The differential RF input signal is applied to a resistively
degenerated common base stage, which converts the differential
input voltage to output currents. The output currents then
modulate the two half frequency LO carriers in the mixer stage.
MIXERS
The ADL5382 has two double-balanced mixers: one for the
in-phase channel (I channel) and one for the quadrature channel
(Q channel). These mixers are based on the Gilbert cell design
of four cross-connected transistors. The output currents from
the two mixers are summed together in the resistive loads that
then feed into the subsequent emitter follower buffers.
EMITTER FOLLOWER BUFFERS
The output emitter followers drive the differential I and Q
signals off-chip. The output impedance is set by on-chip 25 Ω
series resistors that yield a 50 Ω differential output impedance
for each baseband port. The fixed output impedance forms a
voltage divider with the load impedance that reduces the effective
gain. For example, a 500 Ω differential load has 1 dB lower
effective gain than a high (10 kΩ) differential load impedance.
BIAS CIRCUIT
A band gap reference circuit generates the proportional-to-
absolute temperature (PTAT) as well as temperature-independent
reference currents used by different sections. The mixer current
can be reduced via an external resistor between the BIAS pin
and ground. When the BIAS pin is open, the mixer runs at
maximum current and therefore the greatest dynamic range.
The mixer current can be reduced by placing a resistance to
ground; therefore, reducing overall power consumption, noise
figure, and IIP3. The effect on each of these parameters is
shown in Figure 10, Figure 13, and Figure 14.
