adrf6704 data sheet rev. 0 | page 16 of 36 theory of operation the adrf6704 integrates a high performance iq modulator with a state of the art fractional-n pll. the adrf6704 also integrates a low noise vco. the programmable spi port allows the user to control the fractional-n pll functions and the modulator optimization functions. this includes the capability to operate with an externally applied lo. the quadrature modulator core within the adrf6704 is a part of the next generation of industry-leading modulators from analog devices, inc. the baseband inputs are converted to currents and then mixed to rf using high performance npn transistors. the mixer output currents are transformed to a single-ended rf output using an integrated rf transformer balun. the high performance active mixer core, coupled with the low-loss rf transformer balun results in an exceptional oip3 and op1db, with a very low output noise floor for excel- lent dynamic range. the use of a passive transformer balun rather than an active output stage leads to an improvement in oip3 with no sacrifice in noise floor. at 2700 mhz the adrf6704 typically provides an output p1db of 12.1 dbm, oip3 of 27.2 dbm, and an output noise floor of ?158.3 dbm/hz. typical image rejection under these conditions is ?37.7 dbc with no additional i and q gain compensation. pll + vco the fractional divide function of the pll allows the frequency multiplication value from refin to the lop/lon outputs to be a fractional value rather than restricted to an integer as in traditional plls. in operation, this multiplication value is int + (frac/mod) where int is the integer value, frac is the fractional value, and mod is the modulus value, all of which are programmable via the spi port. in previous fractional-n pll designs, the fractional multiplication was achieved by periodically changing the fractional value in a deterministic way. the downside of this was often spurious components close to the fundamental signal. in the adrf6704 , a sigma delta modulator is used to distribute the fractional value randomly, thus significantly reducing the spurious content due to the fractional function. basic connections for operation figure 35 shows the basic connections for operating the adrf6704 as they are implemented on the devices evaluation board. the seven power supply pins should be individually decoupled using 100 pf and 0.1 f capacitors located as close as possible to the pins. a single 10 f capacitor is also recom- mended. the three internal decoupling nodes (labeled decl3, decl2, and decl1) should be individually decoupled with capacitors as shown in figure 35 . the four i and q inputs should be driven with a bias level of 500 mv. these inputs are generally dc-coupled to the outputs of a dual dac (see the dac-to-iq modulator interfacing and iq filtering sections for more information). a 1 v p-p (0.353 v rms) differential sine wave on the i and q inputs results in a single sideband output power of +5.5 dbm (at 2700 mhz) at the rfout pin (this pin should be ac-coupled as shown in figure 35 ). this corresponds to an iq modulator voltage gain of +1.5 db. the reference frequency for the pll (typically 1 v p-p between 11 mhz and 160 mhz) should be applied to the refin pin, which should be ac-coupled. if the refin pin is being driven from a 50 source (for example, a lab signal generator), the pin should be terminated with 50 as shown in figure 35 (an rf drive level of +4 dbm should be applied). multiples or fractions of the refin signal can be brought back off-chip at the multiplexer output pin (muxout). a lock-detect signal and an analog voltage proportional to the ambient temperature can also be brought out on this pin by setting the appropriate bits on (db21-db23) in register 4 (see the register description section). external lo the internally generated local oscillator (lo) signal can be brought off-chip as either a 1 lo or a 2 lo (via pins lop and lon) by asserting the losel pin and making the appro- priate internal register settings. the lo output must be disabled whenever the rf output of the iq modulator is disabled. the lop and lon pins can also be used to apply an external lo. this can be used to bypass the internal pll/vco. to turn off the pll register 6, bits[20:17] must be zero.

adrf6704 data sheet rev. 0 | page 18 of 36 dac-to-iq modulator interfacing the adrf6704 is designed to interface with minimal components to members of the analog devices, inc., family of txdacs?. these dual-channel differential current output dacs provide an output current swing from 0 ma to 20 ma. the interface described in this section can be used with any dac that has a similar output. an example of an interface using the ad9122 txdac is shown in figure 36 . the baseband inputs of the adrf6704 require a dc bias of 500 mv. the average output current on each of the outputs of the ad9122 is 10 ma. therefore, a single 50 resis- tor 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 adrf6704 . rbip 50? rbin 50? out1_n out1_p ip in ad9122 adrf6704 rbqn 50? rbqp 50? out2_p out2_n qp qn 08571-036 figure 36. interface between the ad9122 and adrf6704 with 50 resistors to ground to establish the 500 mv dc bias for the adrf6704 baseband inputs the ad9122 output currents have a swing that ranges from 0 ma to 20 ma. with the 50 resistors in place, the ac voltage swing going into the adrf6704 baseband inputs ranges from 0 v to 1 v (with the dac running at 0 dbfs). so the resulting drive signal from each differential pair is 2 v p-p differential with a 500 mv dc bias. adding a swing-limiting resistor the voltage swing for a given dac output current can be reduced by adding a third resistor to the interface. this resistor is placed in the shunt across each differential pair, as shown in figure 37 . it has the effect of reducing the ac swing without changing the dc bias already established by the 50 resistors. rbip 50 ? rbin 50 ? in ip ad9122 adrf6704 rbqn 50 ? rbqp 50 ? r sl2 (see text) r sl1 (see text) out1_n out1_p out2_p out2_n qp qn 08571-037 figure 37. ac voltage swing reduction through the introduction of a shunt resistor between the differential pair the value of this ac voltage swing limiting resistor (r sl as shown in figure 37 ) is chosen based on the desired ac voltage swing and iq modulator output power. figure 38 shows the relation- ship between the swing-limiting resistor and the peak-to-peak ac swing that it produces when 50 bias-setting resistors are used. a higher value of swing-limiting resistor will increase the output power of the adrf6704 and signal-to-noise ratio (snr) at the cost if higher intermodulation distortion. for most applications, the optimum value for this resistor will be between 100 and 300 . when setting the size of the swing-limiting resistor, the input impedance of the i and q inputs should be taken into account. the i and q inputs have a differential input resistance of 920 . as a result, the effective value of the swing-limiting resistance is 920 in parallel with the chosen swing-limiting resistor. for example, if a swing-limiting resistance of 200 is desired (based on figure 37 ), the value of r sl should be set such that 200 = (920 r sl )/(920 + r sl ) resulting in a value for r sl of 255 . 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 differential swing (v p-p) r sl ( ? ) 08571-038 figure 38. relationship between the ac swing-limiting resistor and the peak-to-peak voltage swing with 50 bias-setting resistors

(4) the default value of the phase offset multiplier (10 22.5) should be set to a recommended value of 6 22.5. this phase offset can be either positive or negative depending on the value of db17 in register 4. the reference frequency applied to the pfd can be manipulated using the internal reference path source. the external reference frequency applied can be internally scaled in frequency by 2, 1, 0.5, or 0.25. this allows a broader range of reference frequency selections while keeping the reference frequency applied to the pfd within an acceptable range. the device also has a muxout pin that can be programmed to output a selection of several internal signals. the default mode is to provide a lock-detect output to allow the user to verify when the pll has locked to the target frequency. in addition, several other internal signals can be passed to the muxout pin as described in figure 35 .
