APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
AC-Coupled Baseband . Figure 4 shows the simplified
circuit schematic of a high-pass AC-coupled baseband
interface.
With approximately 18k of differential input resistance,
the suggested minimum AC-coupling capacitor can be
determined using the following equation:
where f

A larger capacitor may be used where the settling time of
charging and discharging the AC-coupling capacitor is not
critical.
DC-Coupled Baseband . The baseband inputs’ internal bias
voltage can be overdriven with an external bias circuit.
This facilitates direct interfacing to a D/A converter for
faster transient response. In this case, the LT5503’s
baseband inputs are DC biased by the converter. The
optimal V

Figure 5 shows a simplified circuit schematic for interfac-
ing the LT5503’s baseband inputs to the outputs of a D/A
converter. OIP and OIN are the positive and negative
baseband outputs, respectively, of the converter’s
I-channel. Similarly, OQP and OQN are the positive and
negative baseband outputs, respectively, of the converter’s
Q-channel.
Modulator RF Input (MODRFIN)
The modulator RF input buffer is driven single-ended. An
internal active balun circuit produces balanced signals to
drive the integrated phase shifter. Limiters following the
phase shifter output accommodate a wide range of
MODRFIN power, resulting in minimal degradation of
modulation gain/phase accuracy performance or carrier
feedthrough. This pin is easily matched to a 50 source
with the simple lowpass network shown in Figure 2. This
pin is internally biased, therefore an AC-coupling capaci-
tor is required.
Modulator VGA (Variable Gain Amp)
The VGA has two digital selection lines to provide a
nominal 0dB, 4.5dB, 9dB and 13.5dB attenuation from the
maximum modulator output power setting. The logic table
is shown below:
