TRF37x32 Dual Down Converter Mixer With Integrated IF AMP
1 Features
3 Description
•
The TRF37x32 is a wideband dual down converter
mixer with integrated IF amplifier. The device
employs integrated baluns for single ended RF and
LO inputs. The IF amplifier operates from 30 MHz to
600 MHz in an open collector topology to support a
variety of IF frequencies and bandwidths. The
TRF37x32 provides excellent mixer linearity and
noise performance and offers good isolation between
channels for operation with diversity applications. The
device operates with low power dissipation and
further provides an option for a low power mode for
power sensitive applications. Each channel can be
independently powered down with fast response
times to allow operation in time domain duplexed
(TDD) applications.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TRF37x32 family is a dual-channel, down convert receive mixer. It provides high-linearity over wide RF and
IF bandwidths while also consuming low power. The device comes in three varieties, A, B, and C, to cover an
extremely wide frequency band and can operate with either low side injection (LSI) or high side injection (HSI).
The IF output is optimized for 200 MHz but operates from 30 MHz to 600 MHz with appropriate external
components.
The device consists of a passive mixer core buffered by an LO amplifier and a high-linearity IF amplifier. There is
an on-chip LDO to regulate VCC to the voltages needed for the small-geometry SiGe BiCMOS components. The
single-ended RF and LO inputs each have a wideband internal balun. The balun's center tap is internally
grounded.
Each channel offers an external power down terminal control which disables the IF circuitry. The device has a
low power mode controlled through an external terminal control. Low power mode reduces bias current in the LO
circuitry. Both power down and low power mode controls are internally biased to a normal operating state. The
IFA/B_BT terminals are self-biased and require no external components.
The TRF37x32 uses a single 3.3 V power supply and draws exceptionally low current for its performance node.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Low Power Mode
Low power mode is enabled by setting the active-high LPM terminal to a logic high. The device contains an
internal pull-down to engage normal operation when the terminal is left unconnected or floating.
Low power mode reduces the bias current in the LO amplifier portion of the device and affects both channels.
Total current consumption is reduced 30% while lowering analog performance metrics.
8.3.2 Power Down
Each channel is powered down individually through the active-high PDA and PDB terminals. A logic high sets the
respective channel in power down. The device contains an internal pull-down to engage normal operation when
the terminal is left unconnected or floating.
Power down is implemented by removing bias in the IF amplifier. Operation of the opposite channel is not
affected when either channel is turned off. Turn-on and turn-off time is fast enough to serve in most TDD
applications.

8.3.3 Single Ended RF Input
Each RF input is single-ended with a wideband internal balun to convert the input to a differential signal, as
shown in Figure 73. The center tap of the balun is internally grounded and is not available external to the device.
The RF input should be ac coupled to driving circuitry according to the chart in Table 1.

TRF37C32

8.3.4 Single Ended LO Input
The LO input is single ended with an internal balun to convert the input to a differential signal. The LO drive path
includes a high frequency dual-mode oscillation inhibitor circuitry to ensure stable operation. For best operation it
is recommended to keep the LO drive level at 0 dBm or higher to ensure inhibitor circuit does not falsely engage.
At lower LO drive level, keep the LO power engaged to the device at power-up. At lower drive level the inhibitor
may engage within certain frequency bands when the LO power transitions.
At the extreme RF frequencies the LO input bandwidth will force operation to either high side injection (HSI) or
low side injection (LSI). Table 2 provides the operating range of the LO for each device.

The example application requirements are derived from a hypothetical application and do not reflect the performance of the TRF37x32.
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Power Level
Input power should back off from the TRF37x32 compression point for linear operation, ideally by 10dB or more.
Choose LNA gain and gain scheduling in order to set the appropriate power level at the RF input to the
TRF37x32.
Given the expected input power level, use the expected gain through the mixer and other elements, such as
SAW filter and matching networks, to calculate the voltage expected at the ADC. Adjust gain and loss elements
to maximize the utilization of ADC dynamic range.
9.2.2.2 Matching
Although the TRF37x32 was designed to interface with 50 Ω RF and LO and 200 Ω differential signal lines, some
elements in the signal chain may not present a wideband real impedance. Matching components are optional but
may be used at these ports to improve impedance alignment, thereby increasing power delivered to the RF node
and decreasing reflected and radiated power. Good matching maximizes isolation and linearity performance.
9.2.2.3 RF Input Component Selection
The blocking capacitor value on the RF input should be selected according to Table 1.
9.2.2.4 IF Output Component Selection
Use high Q inductors for pull-up biasing on the IF output. 270 nH 0805-size wirewound indictors provides
excellent linearity and gain. Larger inductor values may compress the IF bandwidth, while smaller package sizes
tend to introduce lower inductor Q ratings.
Connect the supply nodes of both inductors for a given channel symmetrically to the VCC net with close
proximity to ensure balanced connection to the supply.
9.2.2.5 Frequency Planning
The LO and RF inputs are both designed for wideband behavior, and either high-side or low-side injection may
be used interchangeably across most of the RF band. At the extreme RF frequencies the LO input bandwidth will
force operation to either high side injection (HSI) or low side injection (LSI). Table 2 provides the operating range
of the LO for each device. Where possible it is recommended to utilize low side injection to keep the power
dissipation to a minimum.
9.2.2.6 Control Terminal Transients
Decoupling capacitors reduce terminal noise but also slow transient response. Adjust external capacitors in order
to meet specified power-on and power-off response times. Apply transmission line matching techniques to
achieve the fastest response times.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The nominal voltage supply is 3.3 V; however, the TRF37x32 offers very consistent performance across the
entire recommended voltage range. Signal isolation depends partly on power supply isolation. All supplies may
be generated from a common source but should be isolated through decoupling capacitors placed close to the
device. The typical application schematic in Figure 76 is an excellent example. Select capacitors with selfresonant frequency near the application frequency or noise frequency. When multiple capacitors are used in
parallel to create a broadband decoupling network, place the capacitor with the higher self-resonant frequency
closer to the device.
10.1 Power Up Sequence
No power up sequence is required.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
Good layout practice helps to enable excellent linearity and isolation performance. An example of good layout is
shown in Figure 78. In the example, only the top signal layer and its adjacent ground reference plane are shown.
Some recommended layout principles include the following:
• Excellent electrical connection from the PowerPAD™ to the board ground is essential. Use the recommended
footprint, solder the pad to the board, and do not include solder mask under the pad
• Connect pad ground to device terminal ground on the top board layer.
• Verify that the return current path follows the primary current path by including topside terminal to pour
ground connection and vias close to any reference layer transition.
• Do not route signal lines over breaks in the reference plane.
• Maintain symmetry as much as possible between lines in a differential pair. Match electrical lengths.
• Avoid routing clocks and digital control lines near signal lines.
• Do not route signal lines over noisy power planes. Ground is the best reference, although clean power planes
can serve where necessary.
• Place supply decoupling close to the device.
• Keep channels physically separated to improve isolation.
