Broadband Up/Downconverting Mixer with
Integrated Fractional-N PLL and VCO
ADRF6655
Data Sheet
FEATURES
The programmable divider is controlled by an Σ-Δ modulator
(SDM). The modulus of the SDM can be programmed between
1 and 2047.
Broadband active mixer with integrated fractional-N PLL
RF input frequency range: 100 MHz to 2500 MHz
Internal LO frequency range: 1050 MHz to 2300 MHz
Flexible IF output interface
Input P1dB: 12 dBm
Input IP3: 29 dBm
Noise figure (SSB): 12 dB
Voltage conversion gain: 6 dB
Matched 200 Ω output impedance
SPI serial interface for PLL programming
40-lead 6 mm × 6 mm LFCSP
The broadband, active mixer employs a bias adjustment to allow
for enhanced IP3 performance at the expense of increased supply
current. The mixer provides an input IP3 exceeding 25 dBm
with 12 dB single sideband NF under typical conditions. The IIP3
can be boosted to ~29 dBm with roughly 20 mA of additional
supplied current. The mixer provides a typical voltage conversion
gain of 6 dB with a 200 Ω differential IF output impedance. The
IF output can be externally matched to support upconversion over
a limited frequency range.
The ADRF6655 is fabricated using an advanced silicongermanium BiCMOS process. It is packaged in a 40-lead,
exposed-paddle, Pb-free, 6 mm × 6 mm LFCSP. Performance is
specified over a −40°C to +85°C temperature range.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADRF6655 is a high dynamic range active mixer with
integrated PLL and VCO. The synthesizer uses a programmable
integer-N/fractional-N PLL to generate a local oscillator input
to the mixer. The PLL reference input is nominally 20 MHz. The
reference input can be divided by or multiplied by and then
applied to the PLL phase detector. The PLL can support input
reference frequencies from 10 MHz to 160 MHz. The phase
detector output controls a charge pump whose output is integrated
in an off-chip loop filter. The loop filter output is then applied to an
integrated VCO. The VCO output at 2 × fLO is then applied to a local
oscillator (LO) divider as well as to a programmable PLL divider.

Description
Charge Pump Current. The nominal charge pump current can be set to either 250 µA, 500 µA, 750 µA,
or 1 mA using DB10 and DB11 of Register 4 and by setting DB18 to 0 (internal reference current).
In this mode, no external RSET is required. If DB18 is set to 1, the four nominal charge pump currents
(INOMINAL) can be externally tweaked according to
217.4 × I CP ,BASE
RSET [Ω] =
− 37.8
250
where ICP, BASE is the base charge pump current in µA.
For further details on the charge pump current, see the Register 4—Charge Pump, PFD, and Reference
Path Control section.
Reference Input. Nominal input level is 1 V p-p. Input range is 10 MHz to 160 MHz. This pin must be
ac-coupled.
Multiplexer Output. This output allows either a digital lock detect, a voltage proportional to temperature,
or a buffered, frequency-scaled reference signal to be accessed externally. The output is selected by
programming the appropriate bits in Register 4.
Decoupling Node for 2.5 V LDO. Pin should be decoupled with 100 pF, 0.1 µF, and 10 µF capacitors
located close to the pin.
Power Supply for Internal 2.5 V LDO. The power supply voltage range is 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Supply pin
should be decoupled with 100 pF and 0.1 µF capacitors located close to the pin.
Serial Data Input. The serial data input is loaded MSB first with the three LSBs being the control bits.
Serial Clock Input. This 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 six registers, the relevant latch being selected by the first three control bits of the 24-bit word.
No Connection.
Power Supply for LO Path. The power supply voltage range is 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Supply pin should be
decoupled with 100 pF and 0.1 µF capacitors located close to the pin.
Mixer IF Outputs. These pins should be pulled to VCC with RF chokes.
Power Supply for Voltage to Current Input Stage. The power supply voltage range is 4.75 V to 5.25 V.
Supply pin should be decoupled with 100 pF and 0.1 µF capacitors located close to the pin.
Mixer RF Inputs. Differential RF Inputs. Internally matched to 50 Ω. This pin must be ac-coupled.
Power Supply for Mixer. The power supply voltage range is 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Supply pin should be
decoupled with 100 pF and 0.1 µF capacitors located close to the pin.
Connect Resistor to VCC to Adjust IP3.
Local Oscillator Input/Output. The internally generated 1 × fLO is available on these pins. When internal
LO generation is disabled, an external 2 × fLO or 3 × fLO (depending on divider selection) can be applied
to these pins. This pin must be ac-coupled.
VCO Control Voltage Input. This pin is driven by the output of the loop filter. Nominal input voltage
range on this pin is 1 V to 2.8 V.
Decoupling Node for VCO LDO. Connect a 100 pF capacitor and a 10 µF capacitor between this pin
and ground.
The exposed paddle must be soldered to a low impedance ground plane.

ADRF6655
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The VCO operates at twice the LO frequency for improved
isolation. The nominal value of Kv is 75 MHz/V at the VCO
output. As the VCO band is changed from 0 to 63, the size of the
varactor is also changed, thus maintaining a roughly constant
Kv across the entire operating range.
The ADRF6655 can be subdivided into a PLL and VCO block
and a mixer block. A detailed circuit description for each block
follows.
PLL AND VCO BLOCK
The PLL and VCO block, shown in Figure 49, is made up of a
reference input block, a phase and frequency detector (PFD), a
charge pump, a VCO, and a divide-by-N modulus block. An
off-chip loop filter completes the loop.

ADRF6655 PLL BLOCK DIAGRAM
Figure 49. PLL and VCO Block
The VCO is implemented with a single core that consists of 64
overlapping bands, as shown in Figure 50. The correct band is
selected automatically by the VCO band calibration circuit when
Register R0, Register R1, or Register R2 is programmed. The
VCO band selection takes roughly 4000 PFD cycles. During
calibration, an internal mux is used to disconnect the VCO input
voltage from the VTUNE pin and apply an internal reference
voltage for calibration. When calibration is complete, the VCO
input voltage is reconnected to the VTUNE pin and normal
PLL operation resumes.
2.4
2.0
LO Signal Chain
The LO chain consists of a mux that selects between the internal
VCO and an external LO source. The LO signal can then be
divided by 2 or divided by 3, providing a wide range of LO
frequencies from 1050 MHz to 2300 MHz. A buffer then drives
this divided down signal to the mixer core. The LO signal can
also be observed via the LO I/O port when the internal VCO
is selected. When the external LO buffer is enabled, the supply
current and die temperature increase, resulting in a slight
degradation of RF performance. In normal operation mode,
the external LO buffer should be disabled to help minimize
power consumption and provide optimal RF performance.

The mixer portion of the ADRF6655, shown in Figure 51, consists
of an LO signal chain, an RF voltage-to-current (V-to-I) converter,
and a mixer core. The LO chain receives a signal from either the
internal VCO or an external LO source. This LO signal then passes
through a frequency divider, which can be set to divide-by-2
or divide-by-3, depending on the desired LO frequency. The
differential RF inputs are converted into currents by the V-to-I
converter and fed into the mixer core. A pair of 133 Ω pull-up
resistors are used to present a ~250 Ω source impedance at the
IF output.

Data Sheet
V-to-I Converter
DIGITAL INTERFACES
The differential RF input signal is applied to a pair of resistively
degenerated common-emitter stages, which converts the
differential input voltage to output currents. The input stage also
provides 50 Ω termination to the RF input port. The linearity
of this V-to-I stage can be optimized for a given frequency with
Pin IP3SET at the expense of power dissipation and noise figure.
An additional way of improving linearity without affecting
power dissipation or noise figure is provided by the CDAC
signal controlled by serial port interface (SPI).
The ADRF6655 provides access to the many programmable
features available within the IC using a 3-wire SPI control
interface. The minimum delays and hold times are presented
in the timing diagram in Figure 2. The SPI interface provides
digital control of the internal PLL/VCO as well as several other
features related to the mixer core, on-chip referencing, and available
system monitoring functions. The MUXOUT pin provides access
to several output signals that can be selected via the SPI interface.
The available outputs are buffered, frequency-scaled versions of
the reference, a PLL lock-detect signal, and an internal voltage
that is proportional to the IC junction temperature. Details
regarding the register settings and initialization sequence are
included in the Register Structure section.
Mixer Core
The mixer core, based on the Gilbert cell design of four crossconnected transistors, takes the currents from the V-to-I stage
and mixes them with the LO signal. This mixer core can be used
as a downconvert mixer as is or as an upconvert mixer with an
off-chip matching network for a given frequency range.

The ADRF6655 output stage consists of collector connected
output transistors with on-board pull-up resistors. The output
transistors and pull-up network presents a 200 Ω differential
output impedance in parallel with a small amount of shunt
capacitance. The measured RC equivalent impedance of Pin 18
and Pin 19 is ~250 Ω//1.5 pF. This impedance needs to be taken
into consideration when designing the external output matching
network. In addition to matching the presented output source
impedance to the intended load impedance, it is important to
provide pull-up choke connections to the supply pins to allow
for dc current to directly supply the mixer output transistors.
The reactance of the pull-up chokes may need to be considered
when designing the output matching network. For convenience,
several output matching/bias networks are presented in Figure 53
through Figure 58 for reference.
1200MHz OUTPUT INTERFACE
OUTP
The ADRF6655 includes an on-board VCO and PLL for LO
synthesis. An external reference must be applied for the PLL to
operate. The external reference should be ac-coupled and provide a
~1 V p-p nominal input level at Pin 6. The reference is compared
to an internally divided version of the VCO output frequency to
create a charge pump error current to control and lock the VCO. The
charge pump output current is filtered and converted to a VTUNE
control voltage through the external loop filter. ADIsimPLL™
can be a helpful tool when designing the external charge pump
loop filter. The typical Kv of the VCO, the charge pump output
current magnitude, and PFD frequency should all be considered
when designing the loop filter. The charge pump current magnitude
can be set internally or with an external RSET resistor connected
to Pin 5 and ground, along with the internal digital settings
applied to the PLL (see the Register 4—Charge Pump, PFD, and
Reference Path Control section for more details).
18
OUTN
The ADRF6655 has several supply connections and on-board
regulated reference voltages that should be bypassed to ground
using low inductance bypass capacitors located in close proximity
to the supply and reference pins of the ADRF6655. Specifically
Pin 1, Pin 2, Pin 9, Pin 10, Pin 17, Pin 22, Pin 27, and Pin 40
should be bypassed to ground using individual bypass capacitors.
Pin 9 is the supply used for the on-board VCO, and for best
phase noise performance, several bypass capacitors ranging
from 100 pF to 10 µF may help to improve phase noise
performance. For additional details on bypassing the supply
nodes, refer to the evaluation board schematic in Figure 82.

The ADRF6655 uses a balanced 50 Ω input impedance to help
simplify external connections. For low loss interfacing, the driving
source should be transformed to present a balanced 50 Ω source
impedance. An appropriate 1:1 impedance ratio input balun should
be used when attempting to interface to an unbalanced 50 Ω
source. For input frequencies below ~1.5 GHz, the TC1-1-13M+
from Mini-Circuits or similar baluns should provide good return
loss and maximum power gain. For higher frequencies, baluns,
such as the TC1-1-43A+, are recommended for lowest insertion
loss. The ac coupling capacitors can be optimized with the balun to
provide optimum input match. A few examples are provided in
Figure 61 for a range of different IF output frequencies.

transform an unbalanced source into a balanced source at the
mixer input pins. In either case, the mixer input pins should be

IP3SET LINEARIZATION FEATURE
CDAC LINEARIZATION FEATURE
The IP3SET pin (Pin 29) controls the overall current consumption
of the mixer core depending on the applied voltage. If left open,
the voltage on the IP3SET pin is ~2.3 V, and a typical input IP3 of
~25 dBm or higher can be expected across the operating frequency
range. As the IP3SET voltage is increased, the overall supply
current increases and the input IP3 can be improved from ~3 dB to
6 dB. For upconversion applications, an IP3SET voltage of ~3.2 V to
3.3 V results in very high output IP3 performance in excess of
30 dBm. Using an external resistor divider network connected
between VCC and GND, the IP3SET voltage can be derived.
Alternatively, the on-board 3.3 V LDO output (Pin 2) can be
used to derive the applied IP3SET voltage. However, it is
advisable to use good bypassing and a series inductor or ferrite
choke to ensure good high frequency isolation between Pin 1 and
Pin 29. If an auxiliary control DAC is available, the IP3SET pin can
be driven dynamically in applications where power levels are
changing over time, and it is desirable to conserve power at
lower input signal levels. Figure 62 and Figure 63 illustrate the
output linearity dependency on the IP3SET voltage. Note that
gain is independent of the IP3SET voltage.
In addition to the IP3SET broadband linearization solution, the
ADRF6655 also includes a special linearizer designed to provide
enhanced IP3 performance at higher input frequencies. At low
input frequencies, the CDAC setting offers very little influence
on input IP3, and a CDAC setting of 15 is usually recommended.
At high input frequencies, the CDAC setting can boost input
IP3 as much as 5 dB with essentially no increase in supplied
power. At a given input frequency, the ADRF6655 offers an
optimum CDAC setting to provide high input IP3 performance.
The recommended optimum CDAC setting vs. RF input frequency
is shown in Figure 64.

The ADRF6655 provides the option to use an external signal
source for the LO into the mixer. It is important to note that the
applied LO signal is divided by 2 or divided by 3 prior to the
actual mixer core within the ADRF6655. The divider is
determined by the register settings in LO path and mixer control
register, (see the Register 5—LO Path and Mixer Control
section). The LO input pins (Pin 37 and Pin 38) present a
broadband balanced 50 Ω input interface similar to the input pins
(Pin 25 and Pin 26). The LOP and LON input pins should be dc
blocked and driven from a balanced 50 Ω source. When not in
use, the LOP and LON pins may be left unconnected.

The ADRF6655 has the necessary provisions for interfacing an
external VCO. A high performance discrete VCO may be desirable
in applications that call for the very best phase noise performance.
The basic circuit connections for interfacing an external VCO
are included in Figure 65. It is important to select a VCO with a
frequency tuning voltage range that covers the available charge
pump output compliance range of 1 V to 2.8 V. The external VCO
waveform needs to pass through the on-chip divide-by-2/divideby-3 programmable dividers before reaching the mixer. As a result,
the VCO center frequency should be selected to be roughly 2×
or 3× the desired LO signal frequency. The available output power
for the selected VCO should be greater than −10 dBm to ensure
adequate signal levels into the mixer core. The charge pump loop
filter components should be designed to provide adequate phase
margin for the given KVCO tuning sensitivity of the selected VCO.
It is important to properly configure the digital registers for
external VCO operation. When using an external VCO, the
internal VCO should be disabled using DB17 in Register 6.
Other register programmable LDOs, including the VCO LDO
(DB18 in Register 6), should be enabled. For more information

ADRF6655 CONTROL SOFTWARE
The ADRF6655 can be controlled from PCs that include
a USB port. The basic user interfaces are shown in Figure 66
and Figure 67.
After launching the software, the user is prompted to select a device
from the ADRF product family. Upon selecting the ADRF6655,
the main control interface appears as shown in Figure 66. The
main control interface allows the user to configure the device for
various modes of operation. The internal synthesizer is
controlled by clicking on any of the numeric values listed in the
RF Section. Attempting to program the Ref Input Frequency,
the PFD Frequency, the VCO Frequency(2xLO), or other
values in the RF Section launches the control module shown in
Figure 67. From the synthesizer settings control interface, the
user can enter the desired Local Oscillator Frequency (MHz),
Channel Step Size (kHz), and External Reference Frequency
(MHz). The user can also enable the LO output buffer and divider
options from this menu. After setting the desired values, it is
important to click Upload all registers for the new settings to
take effect.

PLL LOOP FILTER DESIGN
Designing the external loop filter, which connects between the
charge pump output and VCO tuning control pin, is easy with
the help of ADIsimPLL. ADIsimPLL is a free software application
available from Analog Devices for designing PLL loop filters.
Several passive filter topologies are support in ADIsimPLL
along with the necessary component placements on the
evaluation board.
When designing a PLL loop filter, it is important to consider
settling time and phase noise requirements. Figure 68 provides
measured phase noise performance for a typical fast and slow
loop filter design. Note that the wider loop filter offers better
close-in phase noise but degraded phase noise at greater offset
frequencies. The narrow 1.5 kHz loop filter design provides the
best phase noise at 100 kHz and 1 MHz carrier offsets but with
the penalty of decreased frequency settling time and poorer
close-in performance.

DEVICE PROGRAMMING
INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE
The device is programmed through a 3-pin SPI port. The timing
requirements for the SPI port are described in Figure 2. There
are eight programmable registers, each with 24 bits, controlling
the operation of the device. The register functions can be broken
down as follows:
To ensure proper power-up of the ADRF6655, it is important to
reset the PLL circuitry after the supply rail (VCC1, VCC2, VCCLO,
VCCV2I, and VCCMIX) has settled to 5 V ± 0.25 V. Resetting
the PLL ensures that the internal bias cells are properly configured
even under poor supply start-up conditions. To ensure that the
PLL is reset after power-up, the PLEN data bit (DB6) in Register
5 should be programmed to disable the PLL (PLEN = 0). After a
delay of >100 ms, Register 5 should be programmed to enable
the PLL (PLEN = 1). After this procedure, the registers should
be programmed as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Register 0—integer divide control
Register 1—modulus divide control
Register 2—fractional divide control
Register 3—Σ-Δ modulator dither control
Register 4—charge pump, PFD, and reference path control
Register 5—LO path and mixer control
Register 6—VCO controls and PLL enables
Register 7—external VCO control
Note that the PLL has internal calibration that must run
whenever the device is programmed with a given frequency.
This calibration is automatically run whenever Register 0,
Register 1, or Register 2 is programmed. Software is available
from Analog Devices that allows easy programming from an
external PC. See the ADRF6655 Control Software section for
additional details.

When programming the frequency of the ADRF6655, normally
only Register 2, Register 1, and Register 0 are programmed. When
programming these registers, a short delay of >500 µs should be
placed before programming the last register in the sequence
(Register 0). This ensures that the VCO band calibration initiated
by the first two register writes has sufficient time to complete
before the final band calibration (for Register 0) is initiated.

REGISTER 0—INTEGER DIVIDE CONTROL
Divide Mode
With R0[2:0] set to 000, the on-chip integer divide control register
is programmed as shown in Figure 70.
Divide mode determines whether fractional mode or integer
mode is used. In integer mode, the RF VCO output frequency
(fVCO) is calculated by
Integer Divide Ratio
fVCO = 2 × fPFD × (INT)
The integer divide ratio is used to set the INT value in Equation 1.
The INT, FRAC, and MOD values make it possible to generate
output frequencies that are spaced by fractions of the PFD
frequency. The VCO frequency (FVCO) equation is
fVCO = 2 × fPFD × (INT + (FRAC/MOD))
(2)
where INT is the integer divide ratio value (21 to 123 in integer
mode).
(1)
where:
fVCO is the output frequency of the internal VCO.
fPFD is the frequency of operation of the phase-frequency
detector.
INT is the preset integer divide ratio value (24 to 119 in
fractional mode).
MOD is the preset fractional modulus (1 to 2047).
FRAC is the preset fractional divider ratio value (0 to MOD − 1).
