adl5385 rev. 0 | page 12 of 24 circuit description overview the adl5385 can be divided into five sections: the local oscillator (lo) interface, the baseband voltage-to-current (v-to-i) converter, the mixers, the differential-to-single-ended (d-to-s) amplifier, and the bias circuit. a detailed block diagram of the device is shown in figure 26. temperature sensor bias vout temp enbl ibbp ibbn qbbp qbbn loip loin divide-by-2 quadrature phase splitter 0 6118-001 figure 26. adl5385 block diagram the lo interface generates two lo signals at 90 of phase difference to drive two mixers in quadrature. baseband signals are converted into currents by the v-to-i converters that feed into the two mixers. the outputs of the mixers are combined in the differential-to-single-ended amplifier, which provides a 50 output interface. 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 buffer amplifier followed by a pair of frequency dividers that generate two carriers at half the input frequency and in quadrature with each other. each carrier is then amplified and amplitude-limited to drive the double- balanced mixers. v-to-i converter the differential baseband input voltages that are applied to the baseband input pins are fed to a pair of common-emitter, voltage-to-current converters. the output currents then modulate the two half-frequency lo carriers in the mixer stage. mixers the adl5385 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 resistor-inductor (rl) loads in the d-to-s amplifier. d-to-s amplifier the output d-to-s amplifier consists of two emitter followers driving a totem-pole output stage. output impedance is established by the emitter resistors in the output transistors. the output of this stage connects to the output (vout) pin. bias circuit a band gap reference circuit generates the proportional-to- absolute-temperature (ptat) as well as temperature-independ- ent reference currents used by different sections. the band-gap circuit is turned on by a logic high at the enbl pin, which in turn powers up the whole device. a ptat voltage output is available at the temp pin, which can be used for temperature monitoring as well as for temperature compensation purposes.

adl5385 rev. 0 | page 14 of 24 when an offset of +v ios is applied to the i-channel inputs, v iopp = 500 mv + v ios /2, while v iopn = 500 mv ? v ios /2, such that v iopp ? v iopn = v ios the same applies to the q channel. it is often desirable to perform a one-time carrier null calibration. this is usually performed at a single frequency. figure 29 shows how carrier feedthrough varies with lo frequency over a range of 50 mhz on either side of a null at 350 mhz. ? 25 ?85 310 400 carrier feedthrough (dbm) output frequency (mhz) 06118-027 ?30 ?35 ?40 ?45 ?50 ?55 ?60 ?65 ?70 ?75 ?80 320 330 340 350 360 370 380 390 300 figure 29. carrier feedthrough vs. frequency after nulling at 350 mhz sideband suppression optimization sideband suppression results from relative gain and relative phase offsets between the i and q channels and can be suppressed through adjustments to those two parameters. figure 30 illustrates how sideband suppression is affected by the gain and phase imbalances. 0db 0.0125db 0.025db 0.05db 0.125db 0.25db 0.5db 1.25db 2.5db 0 ?10 ?20 ?30 ?40 ?50 ?60 ?70 ?80 ?90 0.01 0.1 1 10 100 06118-028 sideband supression (dbc) phase error (degrees) figure 30. sideband suppression vs. quadrature phase error for various quadrature amplitude offsets figure 30 underscores the fact that adjusting one parameter improves the sideband suppression only to a point; the other parameter must also be adjusted. for example, if the amplitude offset is 0.25 db, improving the phase imbalance better than 1 does not yield any improvement in the sideband suppression. for optimum sideband suppression, an iterative adjustment between phase and amplitude is required. the sideband suppression nulling can be performed either through adjusting the gain for each channel or through the modification of the phase and gain of the digital data coming from the digital signal processor.
adl5385 rev. 0 | page 15 of 24 applications dac modulator interfacing the adl5385 is designed to interface with minimal components to members of the analog devices family of digital-to-analog converters (dac). these dacs feature an output current swing from 0 to 20 ma, and the interface described in this section can be used with any dac that has a similar output. driving the adl5385 with an analog devices txdac? an example of the interface using the ad9777 txdac is shown in figure 31. the baseband inputs of the adl5385 require a dc bias of 500 mv. the average output current on each of the outputs of the ad9777 is 10 ma. therefore, a single 50 resistor to ground from each of the dac outputs results in an average current of 10 ma flowing through each of the resistors, thus producing the desired 500 mv dc bias for the inputs to the adl5385. 06118-030 rbip 50 ? rbin 50 ? 73 72 13 14 ibbn ibbp ad9777 adl5385 rbqn 50 ? rbqp 50 ? 69 68 17 18 i outb1 i outa1 i outa2 i outb2 qbbp qbbn figure 31. interface between ad9777 and adl5385 with 50 resistors to ground to establish the 500 mv dc bi as for the adl5385 baseband inputs the ad9777 output currents have a swing that ranges from 0 to 20 ma. with the 50 resistors in place, the ac voltage swing going into the adl5385 baseband inputs ranges from 0 v to 1 v. a full-scale sine wave out of the ad9777 can be described as a 1 v p-p single-ended (or 2 v p-p differential) sine wave with a 500 mv dc bias. limiting the ac swing there are situations in which it is desirable to reduce the ac voltage swing for a given dac output current. this can be achieved through the addition of another resistor to the interface. this resistor is placed in shunt between each side of the differential pair, as illustrated in figure 32. it has the effect of reducing the ac swing without changing the dc bias already established by the 50 resistors. 06118-032 rbip 50 ? rbin 50 ? ibbn ibbp ad9777 adl5385 rbqn 50 ? rbqp 50 ? rsli 100 ? rslq 100 ? qbbp qbbn 73 72 13 14 69 68 17 18 i outb1 i outa1 i outa2 i outb2 figure 32. ac voltage swing reduction through introduction of shunt resistor between differential pair the value of this ac voltage swing-limiting resistor is chosen based on the desired ac voltage swing. figure 33 shows the relationship between the swing-limiting resistor and the peak- to-peak ac swing that it produces when 50 bias-setting resistors are used. 2.0 1.8 1.6 1.4 1.2 1.0 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0 10 100 1000 10000 06118-031 differential swing (v p-p) r l ( ? ) figure 33. relationship between ac swing-limiting resistor and peak-to-peak voltage swing with 50 bias-setting resistors filtering when driving a modulator from a dac, it is necessary to introduce a low-pass filter between the dac and the modulator to reduce the dac images. the interface for setting up the biasing and ac swing lends itself well to the introduction of such a filter. the filter can be inserted in between the dc bias setting resistors and the ac swing-limiting resistor, thus establishing the input and output impedances for the filter. examples of filters are discussed in the 155 mbps (stm-1) 128 qam transmitter and the cmts transmitter application sections.
adl5385 rev. 0 | page 16 of 24 using ad9777 auxiliary dac for carrier feedthrough nulling the ad9777 features an auxiliary dac that can be used to inject small currents into the differential outputs for each channel. the auxiliary dac can produce the small offset currents necessary to implement the nulling described in the carrier feedthrough nulling section. 155 mbps (stm-1) 128 qam transmitter figure 34 shows how the adl5385 can be interfaced to the ad9777 dac (or any analog devices dual dac with an output bias level of 0.5 v) to generate a 155 mbps 128 qam carrier at 355 mhz. because the txdac output and the iq modulator inputs operate at the same bias levels of 0.5 v, a simple dc-coupled connection can be implemented without any active or passive level shifting. the bias level and modulator drive level is set by the 50 ground-referenced resistors and the 100 shunt resistors, respectively (see the dac modulator interfacing section ) . a baseband filter is placed between the bias and signal swing resistors. this 5-pole chebychev filter with in-band ripple of 0.1 db has a corner frequency of 39 mhz. adl5385 1/2 ad9777 i channel 50 ? 67.5pf 50 ? 67.5pf 156.9pf 156.9pf 124.7pf 124.7pf 50 ? line 50 ? line 100 ? line 0 ? 100 ? line 317.4nh 372.5nh 317.4nh 372.5nh 0 ? 200 ? ibbp ibbn 1/2 ad9777 q channel 50 ? 67.5pf 50 ? 67.5pf 156.9pf 156.9pf 124.7pf 124.7pf 50 ? line 50 ? line 100 ? line 0 ? 100 ? line 317.4nh 372.5nh 317.4nh 372.5nh 0 ? 200 ? qbbp qbbn 06118-046 figure 34. recommended dac-modulator interconnect for128 qam transmitter figure 35 shows a spectral plot of the 128 qam spectrum at a carrier power of ?6.3 dbm. figure 36 shows how evm (measured with the analyzers internal equalizer both on and off) and snr, measured at 55 mhz carrier offset (2.5 times the carrier bandwidth) varies with output power. ? 70 ?80 ?90 ?100 ?110 ?120 ?130 ?140 ?150 ?160 290 420 410 390 400 380 370 360 350 340 330 320 310 300 power spectral density (dbm/hz) frequency (mhz) 06118-044 figure 35. spectral plot of 128 qam transmitter at ?6.3 dbm output power 79 65 ?18 0 snr (db) evm (%) carrier power (dbm) 06118-042 77 75 73 71 69 67 0.7 0 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 ?2 ?4 ?6 ?8 ?10 ?12 ?14 ?16 snr evm without equalization evm with equalization figure 36. evm and snr vs. output power for 128 qam transmitter application cmts transmitter application because of its broadband operating range from 50 mhz to 2200 mhz, the adl5385 can be used in direct-launch cable modem termination systems (cmts) applications in the 50 mhz to 860 mhz cable band. the same dac and dac-to-modulator interface and filtering circuit shown in figure 34 was used in this application. figure 37 shows a plot of a 4-carrier 256 qam spectrum at an output frequency of 485 mhz. figure 38 shows how adjacent channel power (measured at 750 khz, 5.25 mhz, and 12 mhz offset from the last carrier) and modulation error ratio (mer) vary with carrier power. ? 70 ?80 ?90 ?100 ?110 ?120 ?130 ?140 ?150 ?160 ?170 430 540 530 520 510 500 490 480 470 460 450 440 power spectral density (dbm/hz) frequency (mhz) 06118-043 figure 37. spectrum of 4-carrier 256 qam cmts signal at 485 mhz
