ADMV7315

The ADMV7315 is a fully-integrated, system-in-package (SiP), in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) upconverter that operates over an intermediate frequency (IF) input range of DC to 5GHz and a radio frequency (RF) output range of 71GHz to 86GHz. The device uses an image rejection mixer driven by a 6× local oscillator (LO) multiplier chain. The mixer RF output is followed by a variable gain amplifier (VGA) and two power amplifiers PA_A (PA1) and PA_B (PA2), providing a conversion gain of 42dB typical. A single envelope detector and power detectors are integrated within each variable gain amplifier and PA_B power amplifier to detect power levels and enable a reference for LO nulling. Differential I and Q mixer inputs are provided, and can be driven with differential I and Q baseband waveforms for direct conversion applications. Alternatively, the inputs can be driven using an external 90° hybrid and two external 180° hybrids for single-ended applications.

The ADMV7315 comes in a fully-integrated, surface-mount, 75-terminal, 20mm × 19mm, land-grid array (LGA) package. The ADMV7315 operates over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
