The LTC5589 is a direct conversion I/Q modulator designed for low power wireless applications that enables direct modulation of differential baseband I and Q signals on an RF carrier. Single side-band modulation or side-band suppressed upconversion can be achieved by applying 90° phase-shifted signals to the I and Q inputs. The I/Q baseband input ports can be either AC or DC coupled to a source with a common mode voltage level of about 1.4V. The SPI interface controls the supply current, modulator gain, and allows adjustments of I and Q gain and phase imbalance to optimize the LO carrier feedthrough and side-band suppression. The LO port can be driven with sine wave or square wave LO drive. A fixed LC network on the LO and RF ports covers 700MHz to 6GHz operating range. An on-chip thermometer can be activated to compensate for gain-temperature variations. More accurate temperature measurements can be made using an on-chip diode. In addition, a continuous analog gain control (V_CTRL) pin can be used for fast power control.

Product Details

Demonstration circuit 2391A is optimized for evaluation of the LTC5589 low power I/Q modulator up to 4.5GHz. For frequencies above 4.5GHz, LO matching circuit on the DC2391A demo board can be easily modified for improved image rejection performance. Refer to data sheet for additional information. The four balanced I- and Q-baseband input ports can be either AC-coupled with internal bias supplied, or DC-coupled from a source with a common-mode voltage level of about +1.4V. The SPI interface is used to set internal registers which control the gain, optimum center frequency, I-offset, Q-offset and sideband suppression. In addition to the digital gain control with 1dB steps, there is an analog gain control, V_CTRL. An on‑chip thermometer can be used to compensate for the gain vs temperature variations using a digital gain control change. The update can either be automatically triggered, or entirely switched off.
