PIN FUNCTIONS (Pin Voltage is measured at VCC = VPS = VRFOUT = 2.8V) Pin No. 1 Pin Name IFinput Applied Voltage (V) — Pin Voltage (V) 1.2 Function and Explanation Equivalent Circuit This pin is the IF input pin to the double balanced mixer (DBM). The input is designed as a high impedance. The circuit helps suppress spurious signals. Also this symmetrical circuit can keep specified performance insensitive to processcondition distribution. For that reason, a double balanced mixer is adopted. GND pin. Ground pattern on the board should be formed as wide as possible. Track length should be kept as short as possible to minimize ground inductance. Local input pin. Recommended input level is -10 to 0 dBm. Supply voltage pin. This pin is the RF output from the double balanced mixer. This pin is designed as an open collector. Due to the high impedance output, this pin should be externally equipped with an LC matching circuit to the next stage. 5 6 3 2 4 GND GND — 1 3 5 6 LOinput VCC – 2.7 to 3.3 2.1 — — 2 RFoutput Same bias as VCC through external inductor UPC8187TB TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CURVES (Unless otherwise specified, TA = 25˚C) fRFout = 0.83 GHz CONVERSION GAIN vs. LOCAL INPUT POWER 15 10 RF OUTPUT POWER vs. IF INPUT POWER RF Output Power, PRFout (dBm) Conversion Gain, CG (dB) 5 10 0 5 -5 0 -10 -5 -10 -30 fIFin = 150 MHz fLOin = 980 MHz PIFin = -20 dBm VCC = 2.8 V -20 -10 0 -10 -15 -20 -20 -20 -20 fIFin = 150 MHz fLOin = 980 MHz PIFin = -5 dBm VCC = 2.8 V -20 -20 Local Input Power, PLOin (dBm) IF Input Power, PIFin (dBm) fRFout = 1.9 GHz CONVERSION GAIN vs. LOCAL INPUT POWER 15 RF OUTPUT POWER vs. IF INPUT POWER 10 10 RF Output Power, PRFout (dBm) Conversion Gain, CG (dB) 0 5 -10 0 -20 fIFin = 150 MHz fLOin = 1750 MHz PIFin = -5 dBm VCC = 2.8 V -20 -10 0 10 -5 -10 -10 -10 -10 fIFin = 150 MHz fLOin = 1750 MHz PIFin = -20 dBm VCC = 2.8 V -10 -10 -30 -30 Local Input Power, PLOin (dBm) IF Input Power, PIFin (dBm) fRFout = 2.4 GHz CONVERSION GAIN vs. LOCAL INPUT POWER 15 RF OUTPUT POWER vs. IF INPUT POWER 10 10 RF Output Power, PRFout (dBm) Conversion Gain, CG (dB) 0 5 -10 0 -20 fIFin = 150 MHz fLOin = 2250 MHz PIFin = -5 dBm VCC = 2.8 V -20 -10 0 10 -5 -10 -30 -20 -10 fIFin = 150 MHz fLOin = 2250 MHz PIFin = -20 dBm VCC = 2.8 V 0 10 -30 -30 Local Input Power, PLOin (dBm) IF Input Power, PIFin (dBm) UPC8187TB TYPICAL SCATTERING PARAMETERS (TA = 25˚C) LO port RF port (without matching) S11 S22 1.0 GHz 1.0 GHz 2.25 GHz 1.75 GHz 2.25 GHz VCC = VRFOUT = 2.8 V parameters are monitored at DUT pins 1.75 GHz START STOP 0.1 GHz 3.1 GHz START STOP 0.1 GHz 3.1 GHz IF port S11 150 MHz START STOP 0.1 GHz 1.0 GHz UPC8187TB TEST CIRCUIT 1 (fRFout = 0.83 GHz) Strip Line Spectrum Analyzer C6 100 pF L2 5.6 nH Signal Generator L1 6 50Ω 12 nH 5 VCC GND 2 Signal Generator 100 pF 4 VCC C5 0.1 µF C4 10 pF C3 1000 pF GND LOinput 3 C1 50 RFoutput IFinput 1 C2 50 1000 pF ILLUSTRATION OF THE TEST CIRCUIT 1 ASSEMBLED ON EVALUATION BOARD COMPONENT LIST FORM Chip Capacitor SYMBOL C1, C6 C4 C2, C3 C5 Chip Inductor L1 L2 VALUE 100 pF 10 pF 1000 pF 0.1µF 12 nH 5.6nH 1. 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.028", Getek laminate, double sided copper 2.
