MAX3523
Low-Power DOCSIS 3.1
Programmable-Gain Amplifier
General Description
The MAX3523 is a programmable gain amplifier
(PGA) designed to exceed the DOCSIS 3.1 upstream
transmit requirements. The PGA meets the DOCSIS 3.1
spurious limits while transmitting a combined output
power of 68dBmV over the RF bandwidth of 5MHz to
204MHz. The gain is controlled in 1dB steps over a 60dB
range using an SPI 3-wire interface. The use of Maxim's
high-voltage CMOS process enables the device to deliver
high dynamic range while minimizing power dissipation
under a +5V supply rail.
The MAX3523 is available in a 20-pin 5mm x 5mm x
0.75mm TQFN package, and operates over temperature
range of 0ºC to +70ºC.

Detailed Description
Programmable-Gain Amplifier
The programmable-gain amplifier (PGA) provides 60dB of
output level control in 1dB steps. The gain of the PGA is
determined by a 6-bit gain code (GC5–GC0) programmed
through the serial-data interface (see Register Map).
Specified performance is achieved when the input is
driven differentially.
Four power codes (PC1–PC0) allow the PGA to be used
with reduced bias current when distortion performance
can be relaxed. In addition, for each power code, bias current
is automatically reduced with gain code for maximum
efficiency.
The PGA features a differential Class A output stage
capable of driving an +68dBmV OFDMA signal from
5MHz–85MHz or two 96MHz +65dBmV OFDMA signals
from 5MHz–204MHz into a 75Ω load. This architecture
features a differential output that provides superior
even-order distortion performance. This requires that a
www.maximintegrated.com
transformer be used to convert to a single-ended
output. In transmit-disable mode, the output amplifiers are
powered down, resulting in low output noise while
maintaining the impedance match.
3-Wire Serial Programmable Interface (SPI)
and Control Registers
The MAX3523 includes a user-programmable register for
initializing the part and setting the gain and power
consumption. The four MSBs are address bits; the eight
least significant bits (LSBs) are used for register data.
Data is shifted MSB first.
The serial interface should only be written to when TXEN = low,
as is the case between transmit bursts in a DOCSIS
environment. Once a new set of register data is clocked
in, the corresponding power code and/or gain code does
not take effect until the 12th rising edge of SCLK.
Note: The registers must be written no earlier than 100μs after
the device is powered up.

SPI Read
SPI Write
Figure 1 shows a single-byte read transaction. In this
example, a single byte is read from the slave by the master.
The master first asserts CSB, begins driving SDA with the
R/Wb bit having value of 1 indicating this a read transaction
and starts toggling SCLK. The slave samples the bits on
SDA on the rising edge of SCLK. After the R/Wb bit, the
master outputs the 3-bit register addresses starting with the
most significant bit following which the master releases the
SDA line. The slave then starts driving SDA and outputs
the single byte that was requested by the master. After the
last bit has been output, the slave three-states SDA on the
rising edge of CSB that ends the transaction.
Figure 2 shows a single-byte write transaction. In this
example, a single byte is written to the slave by the
master. The master first asserts CSB, begins driving SDA
with the R/Wb bit having value of 0 indicating this a write
transaction and starts toggling SCLK. The slave samples
the bits on SDA on the rising edge of SCLK. After the R/
Wb bit, the master outputs the 3-bit register addresses
starting with the most significant bit and then the 8-bit data
starting with the most significant bit. The internal registers
are updated on the 12th rising edge of SCLK.

MAX3523
Applications Information
Power Codes
The device is designed to exceed the stringent linearity
requirements of DOCSIS 3.1 using power code (PC 3).
Using lower power codes (PC = 2, 1 or 0) allows for
operation at reduced current levels. The full range of gain
codes can be used in any power code. The gain difference
between power codes is typically less than 0.1dB.
Transmit Disable Mode
Between bursts in a DOCSIS system, the MAX3523 can
be put in transmit-disable mode by setting TXEN low.
The output transient on the cable is kept well below the
DOCSIS 3.1 requirement during the TXEN transitions.
If a gain code or power code change is required, the new
values of PC and GC should be clocked in during transmitdisable mode (TXEN low). The new operating point of
the MAX3523 is set on the 12th rising edge of SCLK. This
should be done between transmission bursts.
Output Circuit
The output circuit is an open-drain differential amplifier. The
outputs should be resistively terminated, as shown in the
Typical Application Circuit. A 50:75 impedance ratio transformer
should be used as the interface between the differential output
of the device and the unbalanced 75Ω load.
Amplifier performance depends on the value of the
termination resistors. Rated performance is obtained
using the R7 termination resistor as shown in the Typical
Application Circuit. Increasing the value of this resistor will
increase gain and improve SNR at the expense of output
return loss.
Transformer core inductance may vary with temperature.
Adequate primary inductance must be present to sustain
broadband output capability as temperatures vary.
Input Circuit
The differential input impedance of the MAX3523 is
200Ω. In a typical application, however, it is driven from a
100Ω differential source, requiring an external 200Ω matching
resistor, as shown in the Typical Application Circuit.
The device has sufficient gain and linearity to produce an
output level of +68dBmV when driven with a +31dBmV input
signal. If an input level greater than +31dBmV is used, the
3rd-order distortion performance degrades.

Layout Issues
A well-designed printed circuit board (PCB) is an essential
part of an RF circuit. For best performance, pay attention
to power-supply layout issues as well as the output circuit
layout. The MAX3523 evaluation (EV) board layout can
be utilized as a guide during PCB design. Its electrical
performance has been thoroughly tested, making it an
excellent reference. Refer to the MAX3523 EV kit for
additional information.
Output Circuit Layout
Keep the length of the output traces as short as
possible. Series inductance between the part and the
transformer will degrade the performance at the higher
end of the operating frequency range. To maintain the
balance of the output network, match the length of the
differential traces as closely as possible.
Power-Supply Layout
For minimal coupling between different sections of the
IC, the ideal power-supply layout is a star configuration.
This configuration has a large-value decoupling capacitor at
the central power-supply node. The power-supply traces
branch out from this node, each going to a sepa
rate
power-supply node in the circuit. At the end of each of
these traces is a decoupling capacitor that provides a
very low impedance at the frequency of interest. This
arrangement provides local power-supply decoupling at
each power-supply pin. The power-supply traces must be
capable of carrying the maximum current without significant voltage drop.
Exposed Pad Thermal Considerations
The exposed pad (EP) of the MAX3523's 20-pin TQFN
package provides a low thermal resistance path to the
die. It is important that the PCB on which the device is
mounted be designed to conduct heat from this contact.
In addition, the EP should be provided with a low-induc
tance path to electrical ground. The MAX3523 EV board
is an example of a layout that provides optimal thermal
and electrical performance.
