Figure 53. Evaluation Board

Table 6. Evaluation Board Configuration Options

Component

Function

 

 

R1, R2, R7,

Supply decoupling. Shorts or power supply decoupling resistors and filter

C2, C4, C5, C6, C10

capacitors.

C12, C13, C14, C9

 

R3, R4

Options for single-ended IF output circuit.

R15, 16

 

R6, C11

RBIAS resistor that sets the bias current for the mixer core. The capacitor

 

provides ac bypass for R6.

R8

Pull down for the PWDN pin.

R9

Link to PWDN pin.

C3, R5, C16, L1

RF input. C3 provides dc block for RF input. R5 provides a resistive input

 

termination. C16 and L1 are provided for reactive matching the input.

C1

RF common ac coupling. Provides dc block for RF input common

 

connection.

C8

LO input ac coupling. Provides dc block for the LO input.

C7

LO common ac coupling. Provides dc block for LO input common

 

connection.

W1

Power down. The part is on when the PWDN is connected to ground via a

 

10 kΩ resistor. The part is disabled when PWDN is connected to the positive

 

supply (VS) via W1.

T1, R12, R11, Z3,

IF output interface. T1 converts a differential high impedance IF output to

Z4, Z1, Z2, R10

single-ended. When loaded with 50 Ω, this balun presents a 100 Ω load to

 

the mixers collectors. The center tap of the primary is used to supply the

 

bias voltage (VS) to the IF output pins.
