DESCRIPTION
It supports RFID, GSM, EDGE, CDMA, CDMA2000, and other systems. It may also be configured as an image reject upconverting mixer by applying 90° phase-shifted signals to the I and Q inputs. The high impedance I/Q baseband inputs consist of voltage-to-current converters that in turn drive double-balanced mixers. The outputs of these mixers are summed and applied to an on-chip RF transformer, which converts the differential mixer signals to a 50Ω singleended output. The four balanced I and Q baseband input ports are intended for DC-coupling from a source with a common-mode voltage at about 0.5V. The LO path consists of an LO buffer with single-ended input, and precision quadrature generators that produce the LO drive for the mixers. The supply voltage range is 4.5V to 5.25V. , LT, LTC and LTM are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation. All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
