RF2422

RF2422 0 Typical Applications • Digital Communications Systems • GMSK,QPSK,DQPSK,QAM Modulation Product Description The RF2422 is a monolithic integrated quadrature modulator IC capable of universal direct modulation for highfrequency AM, PM, or compound carriers. This low-cost IC implements differential amplifiers for the modulation inputs, 90° carrier phase shift network, carrier limiting amplifiers, two matched double-balanced mixers, summing amplifier, and an output RF amplifier which will drive 50 Ω from 800MHz to 2500MHz. Component matching, which can only be accomplished with monolithic construction, is used to full advantage to obtain excellent amplitude balance and phase accuracy. -A0.157 0.150 0.008 0.004 2.5GHZ DIRECT QUADRATURE MODULATOR RoHS Compliant & Pb-Free Product • GSM, DCS 1800, JDC, D-AMPS Systems • Spread-Spectrum Communication Systems • Commercial and Consumer Systems 0.393 0.386 0.018 0.014 0.050 0.244 0.229 8° MAX 0° MIN 0.009 0.007 0.068 0.053 NOTES: 1.

This voltage should be the same as the DC voltage supplied to the I SIG pin. A voltage of 3.0V is recommended. The SIG and REF inputs are inputs of a differential amplifier. Therefore the REF and SIG inputs are interchangeable. If swapping the I SIG and I REF pins, the Q SIG and Q REF also need to be swapped to maintain the correct phase. It is also possible to drive the SIG and REF inputs in a balanced mode. This will increase the gain. Interface Schematic Q SIG 100Ω Q REF 100Ω 425Ω 425Ω 2 Q REF Reference voltage for the Q mixer.

The input of the phase shifting network. This pin has an internal DCblocking capacitor. At frequencies higher than 2GHz this port is wellmatched to 50 Ω. This port is voltage driven so matching at lower frequencies is not required. Power supply for all circuits except the RF output stage. An external capacitor is needed if no other low frequency bypass capacitor is nearby. Power Down control. When this pin is "low", all circuits are shut off. A "low" is typically 1.2V or less at room temperature.When this pin is "high" (VCC), all circuits are operating normally. If PD is below VCC, output power and performance will be degraded. Operating in this region is not recommended, although it might be useful in some applications where power control is required. This is the 50 Ω RF Output. This pin has an internal DC-blocking capacitor. At frequencies higher than 2GHz this port is well-matched. Typical impedances at lower frequencies are: 24-j30 Ω @ 1 GHz, 27-j10 Ω @ 1.4GHz, 31-j3 Ω @ 1.8GHz. At those frequencies, external matching may be needed to optimize output power.
