The LT
®
5568 is a direct I/Q modulator designed for high
performance wireless applications, including wireless
infrastructure. It allows direct modulation of an RF signal
using differential baseband I and Q signals. It supports
PHS, GSM, EDGE, TD-SCDMA, CDMA, CDMA2000, W-
CDMA, and other systems. It may also be confi gured
as an image reject upconverting mixer, by applying
90° phase-shifted signals to the I and Q inputs. The I/Q
baseband inputs consist of voltage-to-current converters
that in turn drive double-balanced mixers. The outputs of
these mixers are summed and applied to an on-chip RF
transformer, which converts the differential mixer signals
to a 50Ω single-ended output. The four balanced I and Q
baseband input ports are intended for DC coupling from a
source with a common mode voltage level of about 0.5V.
The LO path consists of an LO buffer with single-ended
input, and precision quadrature generators that produce
the LO drive for the mixers. The supply voltage range is
4.5V to 5.25V.
