LT5521

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO

The LT5521 is a high linearity double-balanced active

mixer. The chip consists of a double-balanced mixer core,

a high performance LO buffer and associated bias and

enable circuitry. The chip is designed to operate with a

supply voltage ranging from 3.15V to 5.25V.

Signal Input Interface

Figure 2 shows the signal inputs of the LT5521. The signal

input pins are connected to the common emitter nodes of

the mixer quad differential pairs. The real part of the

differential IN+/IN– impedance is 20Ω. The mixer core

current is set by external resistors R1 and R7. Setting their

values at 110Ω, the nominal DC voltage at the inputs is

2.2V with VCC = 5V. Figure 3 shows the input return loss

for a matched input at 250MHz.

Figure 3. IF Input Return Loss

For input frequencies above 100MHz, a broadband im-

pedance matching tranformer with a 1:1 impedance ratio

is recommended. Table 3 provides the component values

necessary to match various IF frequencies using the M/A-

COM CT0010 transformer (T1, Figure 1).

Below 100MHz, the Mini-Circuits TCM2-1T or the Pulse

CX2045 are better choices for a wider input match. This

configuration is shown in Figure 4. The series 1nF capaci-

tors maintain differential symmetry while providing DC

isolation between the inputs. This helps to improve LO

suppression.

Shunt capacitor C13 (Figure 2) is an optional capacitor

across the input pins that significantly improves LO sup-

pression. Although this capacitor is optional, it is impor-

tant to regulate LO suppression, mitigating part-to-part

variation. This capacitor should be optimized depending
