APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
RF Output Interface
The RF output interface is shown in Figure 6. An internal
RF transformer reduces the mixer core output impedance
to simplify matching of the RF output pin. A center tap in
the transformer provides the DC connection to the mixer
core and the transformer provides DC isolation to the RF
output. The RF pin is internally grounded through the
secondary winding of the transformer, thus a DC voltage
should not be applied to this pin.
While the LT5578 performs best at frequencies above
700MHz, the part can be used down to 400MHz. The low
inductance of the internal transformer limits the perfor-
mance at lower frequencies. The impedance data for the RF
output, listed in Table 4, can be used to develop matching
networks for different frequencies or load impedances.
Figure 7 illustrates the output return loss performance
for several applications. The component values and ap-
proximate matching bandwidths are listed in Table 5.
DC and RF Grounding
The LT5578 relies on the back side ground for both RF
and thermal performance. The Exposed Pad must be
soldered to the low impedance topside ground plane of

the board. As many vias as possible should connect the
topside ground to other ground layers to aid in thermal
dissipation and reduce inductance.
