11 / 24 page Complete Dual-Band Quadrature Transmitters ______________________________________________________________________________________ 11 Detailed Description The MAX2360 complete quadrature transmitter accepts differential I/Q baseband inputs with external common- mode bias. A modulator upconverts this to IF frequency in the 120MHz to 300MHz range. A gain control voltage pin (VGC) controls the gain of both the IF and RF VGAs simultaneously to achieve best noise and linearity per- formance. The IF signal is brought off-chip for filtering, then fed to a single sideband upconverter followed by the RF VGA and PA driver. The RF upconverter requires an external VCO for operation. The IF PLL, RF PLL, and operating mode can be programmed by an SPI/QSPI/ MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire interface. The following sections describe each block in the MAX2360 Functional Diagram. I/Q Modulator Differential in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) input pins are designed to be DC-coupled and biased with the baseband output from a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). I and Q inputs need a DC bias of VCC/2 and a current-drive capability of 6µA. Common-mode voltage will work within a +1.35V to (VCC - 1.25V) range. Typically, I and Q will be driven differentially with a 200mVRMS baseband signal. Optionally, I and Q may be programmed for 100mVRMS operation with the IQ_LEVEL bit in the configuration register. The IF VCO output is fed into a divide-by-two/quadrature generator block to derive quadrature components to drive the IQ modulator. The output of the modulator is fed into the VGA. IF VCOs There are two VCOs to support high IF and low IF appli- cations. The VCOs oscillate at twice the desired IF fre- quency. Oscillation frequency is determined by external tank components (see Applications Information). Typical phase-noise performance for the tank is as shown in Table 1. The high-band and low-band VCOs can be selected independently of the IF port being used. IFLO Output Buffer IFLO provides a buffered LO output when BUF_EN is 1. The IFLO output frequency is equal to the VCO fre- quency when BUF_DIV is 0, and half the VCO frequen- cy when BUF_DIV is 1. The output power is -6dBm. This output is intended for applications where the receive IF is the same frequency as the transmit IF. IF/RF PLL The IF/RF PLL uses a charge-pump output to drive a loop filter. The loop filter will typically be a passive sec- ond-order lead lag filter. Outside the filter’s bandwidth, phase noise will be determined by the tank compo- nents. The two components that contribute most signifi- cantly to phase noise are the inductor and varactor. Use high-Q inductors and varactors to maximize equiv- alent parallel resistance. The IF_TURBO_CHARGE and the RF_TURBO_CHARGE bits in the CONFIG register can be set to 1 to enable turbo mode. Turbo mode pro- vides maximum charge-pump current during frequency acquisition. Turbo mode is disabled after the second transition from phase lead to phase lag or from phase lag to phase lead. Turbo mode is also disabled after frequency acquisition is achieved. When turbo mode is disabled, charge-pump current will return to the pro- grammed levels as set by ICP and RCP bits in the CONFIG register (Table 4). IF VGA The IF VGA allows varying an IF output level that is con- trolled by the VGC. The voltage range on VGC of 0.5V to 2.6V. provide a gain-control range of 85dB. There are two differential IF output ports from the VGA. IFOUTL+/IFOUTL- are optimized for low IF operation (120MHz to 235MHz) for IFOUTH+/IFOUTH- support high IF operation (120MHz to 300MHz). IFOUTL ports support direct VCO FM modulation. The differential IF output port has an output impedance of 600 Ω when pulled up to VCC through a choke. Single Sideband Mixer The RF transmit mixer uses a single sideband architec- ture to eliminate an off-chip RF filter. The single sideband mixer has IF input stages that correspond to IF output ports of the VGA. The mixer is followed by the RF VGA. The RF VGA is controlled by the same VGC pin as the IF VGA to provide optimum linearity and noise perfor- mance. The total power control range is >100dB. PA Driver The MAX2360 includes three power-amplifier (PA) dri- vers. Each is optimized for the desired operating fre- quency. RFL is optimized for cellular-band operation. Table 1.
