GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADL5385 is a silicon, monolithic, quadrature modulator

designed for use from 30 MHz to 2200 MHz. Its excellent phase

accuracy and amplitude balance enable both high performance

intermediate frequency (IF) and direct radio frequency (RF)

modulation for communication systems.

The ADL5385 takes the signals from two differential baseband

inputs and modulates them onto two carriers in quadrature

with each other. The two internal carriers are derived from a

single-ended, external local oscillator input signal at twice the

frequency as the desired carrier output. The two modulated

signals are summed together in a differential-to-single-ended

amplifier designed to drive 50 Ω loads.

The ADL5385 can be used as either an IF or a direct-to-RF

modulator in digital communication systems. The wide

baseband input bandwidth allows for either baseband drive or

drive from a complex IF. Typical applications are in radio-link

transmitters, cable modem termination systems, and broadband

wireless access systems.

The ADL5385 is fabricated using the Analog Devices, Inc.,

advanced silicon germanium bipolar process and is packaged in

a 24-lead, RoHS-compliant LFCSP with exposed pad. Performance

is specified over –40°C to +85°C. A RoHS-compliant evaluation

board is also available.
