GND (Pins 1, 4, 9, 12, 13, 16): Internal Grounds. These
pins are used to improve isolation and are not intended as
DC or RF grounds for the IC. Connect these pins to low
impedance grounds for best performance.
IF
+
, IF
(Pins 2, 3): Differential IF Signal Inputs. A differ-
ential signal must be applied to these pins through DC
blocking capacitors. The pins must be connected to ground
with 100 resistors (the grounds must each be capable of
sinking about 18mA). For best LO leakage performance,
these pins should be DC isolated from each other. An
impedance transformation is required to match the IF
input to the desired source impedance (typically 50 or
75).
EN (Pin 5): Enable Pin. When the applied voltage is greater
than 3V, the IC is enabled. When the applied voltage is less
than 0.5V, the IC is disabled and the DC current drops to
about 1µA.
V

Typical current consumption is about 2mA. This pin
should be externally connected to V
CC
and have appropri-
ate RF bypass capacitors.
V
CC2
(Pin 7): Power Supply Pin for the LO Buffer Circuits.
Typical current consumption is about 22mA. This pin
should have appropriate RF bypass capacitors as shown
in Figure 2. The 1000pF capacitor should be located as
close to the pins as possible.
V
CC3
(Pin 8): Power Supply Pin for the Internal Mixer.
Typical current consumption is about 36mA. This pin
should be externally connected to V
CC
through an induc-
tor. A 39nH inductor is used in Figure 2, though the value
is not critical.
RF

+
(Pins 10, 11): Differential RF Outputs. One pin
may be DC connected to a low impedance ground to realize
a 50 single-ended output. No external matching compo-
nents are required. A DC voltage should not be applied
across these pins, as they are internally connected through
a transformer winding.

(Pins 14, 15): Differential Local Oscillator In-
puts. The LT5520 works well with a single-ended source
driving the LO

pin and the LO
pin connected to a low
impedance ground. No external matching components are
required. An internal resistor is connected across these
pins; therefore, a DC voltage should not be applied across
the inputs.
GROUND (Pin 17, Exposed Pad): DC and RF ground
return for the entire IC. This must be soldered to the
printed circuit board low impedance ground plane.

The LT5520 consists of a double-balanced mixer, a high-
performance LO buffer, and bias/enable circuits. The RF
and LO ports may be driven differentially; however, they
are intended to be used in single-ended mode by connect-
ing one input of each pair to ground. The IF input ports
must be DC-isolated from the source and driven differen-
tially. The IF input should be impedance-matched for the
desired input frequency. The LO input has an internal
broadband 50 match with return loss better than 10dB
at frequencies up to 3000MHz. The RF output band ranges
from 1300MHz to 2300MHz, with an internal RF trans-
former providing a 50 impedance match across the
band. Low side or high side LO injection can be used.
IF Input Port
The IF inputs are connected to the emitters of the double-
balanced mixer transistors, as shown in Figure 3. These
pins are internally biased and an external resistor must be
connected from each IF pin to ground to set the current
through the mixer core. The circuit has been optimized to
work with 100 resistors, which will result in approxi-
mately 18mA of DC current per side. For best LO leakage
performance, the resistors should be well matched; thus
resistors with 0.1%, tolerance are recommended. If LO
leakage is not a concern, then lesser tolerance resistors
can be used. The symmetry of the layout is also important
for achieving optimum LO isolation.
The capacitors shown in Figure 3, C1 and C2, serve two
purposes. They provide DC isolation between the IF
+
and
IF
ports, thus preventing DC interactions that could
cause unpredictable variations in LO leakage. They also
improve the impedance match by canceling excess induc-
tance in the package and transformer. The input capacitor
value required to realize an impedance match at desired
frequency, f, can be estimated as follows:

where; f is in units of Hz, L
IN

EXT
are in H, and C1, C2
are in farad. L
IN
is the differential input inductance of the
LT5520, and is approximately 1.67nH. L
EXT
represents the
combined inductances of differential external compo-
nents and transmission lines. For the evaluation board
shown in Figure 10, L
EXT
= 4.21nH. Thus, for f = 140MHz,
the above formula gives C1 = C2 = 220pF.
