The loop filter output is then applied to an integrated VCO. The
VCO output at 2 × fLO is applied to an LO divider, as well as to a
programmable PLL divider. The programmable PLL divider is
controlled by a sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) modulator (SDM). The modulus
of the SDM can be programmed from 1 to 2047.
The active mixer converts the single-ended 50 Ω RF input to
a 200 Ω differential IF output. The IF output can operate up
to 500 MHz.
The ADRF6603 is fabricated using an advanced silicon-germanium
BiCMOS process. It is available in a 40-lead, RoHS-compliant,
6 mm × 6 mm LFCSP with an exposed paddle. Performance is
specified over the −40°C to +85°C temperature range.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Part No.
ADRF6601
The ADRF6603 is a high dynamic range active mixer with
integrated phase-locked loop (PLL) and voltage controlled
oscillator (VCO). The PLL/synthesizer uses a fractional-N
PLL to generate a fLO input to the mixer. The reference input
can be divided or multiplied and then applied to the PLL phase
frequency detector (PFD).

The figure of merit (FOM) is computed as phase noise (dBc/Hz) – 10Log10(fPFD) – 20Log10(fLO/fPFD). The FOM was measured across the full LO range, with fREF = 80 MHz,
and fREF power = 10 dBm (500 V/µs slew rate) with a 40 MHz fPFD. The FOM was computed at 50 kHz offset.

Description
Power Supply for the 3.3 V LDO. Power supply voltage range is 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Each power supply pin
should be decoupled with a 100 pF capacitor and a 0.1 µF capacitor located close to the pin.
Decoupling Node for 3.3 V LDO. Connect a 0.1 µF capacitor between this pin and ground.
Charge Pump Output Pin. Connect to VTUNE through the loop filter.
Ground. Connect these pins to a low impedance ground plane.
Charge Pump Current. The nominal charge pump current can be set to 250 µA, 500 µA, 750 µA, or 1 mA using
Bit DB11 and Bit DB10 in Register 4 and by setting Bit DB18 in Register 4 to 0 (internal reference current). In
this mode, no external RSET is required. If Bit DB18 is set to 1, the four nominal charge pump currents (INOMINAL)
can be externally adjusted according to the following equation:

Reference Input. Nominal input level is 1 V p-p. Input range is 12 MHz to 160 MHz. This pin is internally dcbiased and should be ac-coupled.
Multiplexer Output. This output can be programmed to provide the reference output signal or the lock detect
signal. The output is selected by programming the appropriate register.
Decoupling Node for 2.5 V LDO. Connect a 0.1 µF capacitor between this pin and ground.
Power Supply for the 2.5 V LDO. Power supply voltage range is 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Each power supply pin
should be decoupled with a 100 pF capacitor and a 0.1 µF capacitor located close to the pin.
Serial Data Input. The serial data input is loaded MSB first; the three LSBs are the control bits.
Serial Clock Input. The serial clock input is used to clock in the serial data to the registers. The data is latched
into the 24-bit shift register on the CLK rising edge. Maximum clock frequency is 20 MHz.
Load Enable. When the LE input pin goes high, the data stored in the shift registers is loaded into one of the
eight registers. The relevant latch is selected by the three control bits of the 24-bit word.
PLL Enable. Switch between internal PLL and external LO input. When this pin is logic high, the mixer LO is
automatically switched to the internal PLL and the internal PLL is powered up. When this pin is logic low, the
internal PLL is powered down and the external LO input is routed to the mixer LO inputs. The SPI can also be
used to switch modes.

Description
Power Supply. Power supply voltage range is 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Each power supply pin should be decoupled
with a 100 pF capacitor and a 0.1 µF capacitor located close to the pin.
Mixer IF Outputs. These outputs should be pulled to VCC with RF chokes.
Power Supply. Power supply voltage range is 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Each power supply pin should be decoupled
with a 100 pF capacitor and a 0.1 µF capacitor located close to the pin.
RF Input (Single-Ended, 50 Ω).
Power Supply. Power supply voltage range is 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Each power supply pin should be decoupled
with a 100 pF capacitor and a 0.1 µF capacitor located close to the pin.
Connect a resistor from this pin to a 5 V supply to adjust IIP3. Normally leave open.
No Connection.
LO Driver Enable. Together with Pin 16 (PLL_EN), this digital input pin determines whether the LOP and LON
pins operate as inputs or outputs. LOP and LON become inputs if the PLL_EN pin is low or if the PLL_EN pin
is set high with the PLEN bit (DB6 in Register 5) set to 0. LOP and LON become outputs if either the LODRV_EN
pin or the LDRV bit (DB3 in Register 5) is set to 1 while the PLL_EN pin is set high. External LO drive frequency
must be 1× LO. This pin has an internal 100 kΩ pull down resistor.
Local Oscillator Input/Output. The internally generated 1× LO is available on these pins. When internal LO
generation is disabled, an external 1× LO can be applied to these pins.
VCO Control Voltage Input. This pin is driven by the output of the loop filter. Nominal input voltage range on
this pin is 1.5 V to 2.5 V.
Decoupling Node for VCO LDO. Connect a 100 pF capacitor and a 10 µF capacitor between this pin and ground.
Exposed Paddle. The exposed paddle should be soldered to a low impedance ground plane.

SPURIOUS PERFORMANCE
(N × fRF) − (M × fLO) spur measurements were made using the standard evaluation board (see the Evaluation Board section). Mixer spurious
products were measured in dB relative to the carrier (dBc) from the IF output power level. All spurious components greater than −125 dBc
are shown.
LO = 2280 MHz, RF = 2140 MHz (horizontal axis is m, vertical axis is n), and RFIN power = 0 dBm.

LO SELECTION LOGIC
The downconverting mixer in the ADRF6603 can be used
without the internal PLL by applying an external differential
LO to Pin 37 and Pin 38 (LON and LOP). In addition, when
using an LO generated by the internal PLL, the LO signal can
be accessed directly at these same pins. This function can be
used for debugging purposes, or the internally generated LO
can be used as the LO for a separate mixer.
The operation of the LO generation and whether LOP and LON
are inputs or outputs are determined by the logic levels applied
at Pin 16 (PLL_EN) and Pin 36 (LODRV_EN), as well as Bit DB3
(LDRV) and Bit DB6 (PLEN) in Register 5. The combination of
externally applied logic and internal bits required for particular
LO functions is given in Table 9.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
BASIC CONNECTIONS FOR OPERATION
be ac-coupled and terminated with a 50 Ω resistor as shown in
Figure 46. The reference signal, or a divided-down version of
the reference signal, can be brought back off chip at the multiplexer
output pin (MUXOUT). A lock detect signal and a voltage
proportional to the ambient temperature can also be selected
on the multiplexer output pin.
Figure 46 shows the schematic for the ADRF6603 evaluation
board. The six power supply pins should be individually decoupled
using 100 pF and 0.1 µF capacitors located as close as possible to
the device. In addition, the internal decoupling nodes (DECL3P3,
DECL2P5, and DECLVCO) should be decoupled with the
capacitor values shown in Figure 46.
The loop filter is connected between the CP and VTUNE pins.
When connected in this way, the internal VCO is operational.
For information about the loop filter components, see the
Evaluation Board Configuration Options section.
The RF input is internally ac-coupled and needs no external
bias. The IF outputs are open collector, and a bias inductor is
required from these outputs to VCC.
Operation with an external VCO is also possible. In this case,
the loop filter components should be referred to ground. The
output of the loop filter is connected to the input voltage pin of
the external VCO. The output of the VCO is brought back into
the device on the LOP and LON pins, using a balun if necessary.
The reference frequency for the PLL should be from 12 MHz to
160 MHz and should be applied to the REF_IN pin, which should

EVALUATION BOARD
Figure 50 shows the schematic of the RoHS-compliant evaluation
board for the ADRF6603. This board has four layers and was
designed using Rogers 4350 hybrid material to minimize high
frequency losses. FR4 material is also adequate if the design can
accept the slightly higher trace loss of this material.
The evaluation board is designed to operate using the internal
VCO of the device (the default configuration) or with an external
VCO. To use an external VCO, R62 and R12 should be removed.
Place 0 Ω resistors in R63 and R11. The input of the external
VCO should be connected to the VTUNE SMA connector, and
the external VCO output should be connected to the LO IN/OUT
SMA connector. In addition to these hardware changes, internal
register settings must also be changed to enable operation with
an external VCO (see the Register 6—VCO Control and VCO
Enable (Default: 0x1E2106) section).
To connect the evaluation board to a USB port, a USB adapter board
(EVAL-ADF4XXXZ-USB) must be purchased from Analog Devices.
This board connects to the PC using a standard USB cable with a
USB mini-connector at one end. An additional 25-pin male to 9-pin
female adapter is required to mate the ADF4XXXZ-USB board
to the 9-pin D-Sub connector on the ADRF6603 evaluation board.
Additional configuration options for the evaluation board are
described in Table 10.
EVALUATION BOARD CONTROL SOFTWARE
The evaluation board can be connected to the PC using a PC
parallel port or a USB port. These options are selectable from the
opening menu of the software interface (see Figure 48). The
evaluation board is shipped with a 25-pin parallel port cable
for connection to the PC parallel port.

Description
LO select. Switch and resistors to ground the LODRV_EN pin. The LODRV_EN pin setting, in
combination with internal register settings, determines whether the LOP and LON pins
function as inputs or outputs (see the LO Selection Logic section for more information).

LO input/output. An external 1× LO or 2× LO can be applied to this single-ended input
connector.
Reference input. The input reference frequency for the PLL is applied to this connector.
Input impedance is 50 Ω.
Multiplexer output. The REFOUT connector connects directly to the MUXOUT pin. The
on-board multiplexer can be programmed to bring out the following signals: REFIN, 2×
REFIN, REFIN/2, and REFIN/4; temperature sensor output voltage; and lock detect indicator.
Charge pump test point. The unfiltered charge pump signal can be probed at this test
point. Note that the CP pin should not be probed during critical measurements such as
phase noise.
Loop filter. Loop filter components.

Loop filter return. When the internal VCO is used, the loop filter components should be
returned to Pin 40 (DECLVCO) by installing a 0 Ω resistor in R12. When an external VCO is used,
the loop filter components can be returned to ground by installing a 0 Ω resistor in R11.
Internal vs. external VCO. When the internal VCO is enabled, the loop filter components are
connected directly to the VTUNE pin (Pin 39) by installing a 0 Ω resistor in R62. To use an
external VCO, R62 should be left open. A 0 Ω resistor should be installed in R63, and the
voltage input of the VCO should be connected to the VTUNE SMA connector. The output of
the VCO is brought back into the PLL via the LO IN/OUT SMA connector.
RSET pin. This pin is unused and should be left open.
RF input. The RF input signal should be applied to the RFIN SMA connector. The RF input of
the ADRF6603 is ac-coupled, so no bias is necessary.
IF output. The differential IF output signals from the ADRF6603 (IFP and IFN) are converted
to a single-ended signal by T3.
