GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD607 is a 3 V low power receiver IF subsystem for opera­tion at input frequencies as high as 500 MHz and IFs from 400 kHz to 12 MHz. It consists of a mixer, IF amplifiers, I and Q demodulators, a phase-locked quadrature oscillator, and a biasing system with external power-down.
The AD607’s low noise, high intercept mixer is a doubly­balanced Gilbert cell type. It has a nominal –15 dBm input referred 1 dB compression point and a –8 dBm input referred third-order intercept. The mixer section of the AD607 also includes a local oscillator (LO) preamplifier, which lowers the required LO drive to –16 dBm.
In MGC operation, the AD607 accepts an external gain-control voltage input from an external AGC detector or a DAC.
Monoceiver is a registered trademark of Analog Devices, Inc.
The I and Q demodulators provide in-phase and quadrature baseband outputs to interface with Analog Devices’ AD7013 (IS54, TETRA, MSAT) and AD7015 (GSM) baseband con­verters. A quadrature VCO phase-locked to the IF drives the I and Q demodulators. The I and Q demodulators can also demodulate AM; when the AD607’s quadrature VCO is phase locked to the received signal, the in-phase demodulator becomes a synchronous product detector for AM. The VCO can also be phase-locked to an external beat-frequency oscillator (BFO), and the demodulator serves as a product detector for CW or SSB reception. Finally, the AD607 can be used to demodulate BPSK using an external Costas Loop for carrier recovery.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the AD607 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The AD607 provides most of the active circuitry required to realize a complete low power, single-conversion superhetero­dyne receiver, or most of a double-conversion receiver, at input frequencies up to 500 MHz, and with an IF of from 400 kHz to 12 MHz. The internal I/Q demodulators, and their associated phase locked-loop, which can provide carrier recovery from the IF, support a wide variety of modulation modes, including n­PSK, n-QAM, and AM. A single positive supply voltage of 3 V is required (2.7 V minimum, 5.5 V maximum) at a typical sup­ply current of 8.5 mA at midgain. In the following discussion,
will be used to denote the power supply voltage, which will
V
P
be assumed to be 3 V.
Figure 32 shows the main sections of the AD607. It consists of a variable-gain UHF mixer and linear four-stage IF strip, which together provide a voltage controlled gain range of more than 90 dB; followed by dual demodulators, each comprising a multi­plier followed by a two-pole, 2 MHz low-pass filter; and driven by a phase-locked loop providing the inphase and quadrature clocks. A biasing system with CMOS compatible power-down completes the AD607.
Mixer
The UHF mixer is an improved Gilbert cell design, and can operate from low frequencies (it is internally dc-coupled) up to an RF input of 500 MHz. The dynamic range at the input of the mixer is determined, at the upper end, by the maximum input signal level of ±56 mV between RFHI and RFLO up to which the mixer remains linear, and, at the lower end, by the noise level. It is customary to define the linearity of a mixer in terms of the 1 dB gain-compression point and third-order intercept, which for the AD607 are –15 dBm and –8 dBm, respectively, in a 50 system.

The mixer’s RF input port is differential, that is, pin RFLO is functionally identical to RFHI, and these nodes are internally biased; we will generally assume that RFLO is decoupled to ac ground. The RF port can be modeled as a parallel RC circuit as shown in Figure 33.

The local oscillator (LO) input is internally biased at VP/2 via a nominal 1000 resistor internally connected from pin LOIP to VMID. The LO interface includes a preamplifier which mini­mizes the drive requirements, thus simplifying the oscillator design and reducing LO leakage from the RF port. Internally, this single-sided input is actually differential; the noninverting input is referenced to pin VMID. The LO requires a single­sided drive of ± 50 mV, or –16 dBm in a 50 system.
The mixer’s output passes through both a low-pass filter and a buffer, which provides an internal differential to single-ended signal conversion with a bandwidth of approximately 45 MHz. Its output at pin MXOP is in the form of a single-ended current. This approach eliminates the 6 dB voltage loss of the usual series termination by replacing it with shunt terminations at the both the input and the output of the filter. The nominal conver­sion gain is specified for operation into a total IF bandpass filter (BPF) load of 165 , that is, a 330 filter, doubly-terminated as shown in Figure 33. Note that these loads are connected to bias point VMID, which is always at the midpoint of the supply (that is, V
P
/2).
The conversion gain is measured between the mixer input and the input of this filter, and varies between 1.5 dB and 26.5 dB for a 165 load impedance. Using filters of higher impedance, the conversion gain can always be maintained at its specified value or made even higher; for filters of lower impedance, of say Z
, the conversion gain will be lowered by 10 log10(165/ZO).
O
Thus, the use of a 50 filter will result in a conversion gain that is 5.2 dB lower. Figure 34 shows filter matching networks and Table I lists resistor values.

and
The maximum permissible signal level at MXOP is determined by both voltage and current limitations. Using a 3 V supply and VMID at 1.5 V, the maximum swing is about ±1.3 V. To attain a voltage swing of ±1 V in the standard IF filter load of 165 load requires a peak drive current of about ±6 mA, which is well within the linear capability of the mixer. However, these upper limits for voltage and current should not be confused with issues related to the mixer gain, already discussed. In an operational system, the AGC voltage will determine the mixer gain, and hence the signal level at the IF input pin IFHI; it will always be less than ± 56 mV (–15 dBm into 50 ), which is the limit of the IF amplifier’s linear range.
IF Amplifier
Most of the gain in the AD607 arises in the IF amplifier strip, which comprises four stages. The first three are fully differential and each has a gain span of 25 dB for the nominal AGC voltage range. Thus, in conjunction with the mixer’s variable gain, the total gain exceeds 90 dB. The final IF stage has a fixed gain of 20 dB, and it also provides differential to single-ended conversion.
The IF input is differential, at IFHI (noninverting relative to the output IFOP) and IFLO (inverting). Figure 35 shows a simpli­fied schematic of the IF interface. The offset voltage of this stage would cause a large dc output error at high gain, so it is nulled by a low-pass feedback path from the IF output, also shown in Figure 25. Unlike the mixer output, the signal at IFOP is a low-impedance single-sided voltage, centered at V
/2 by the
P
dc feedback loop. It may be loaded by a resistance as low as 50 , which will normally be connected to VMID.

The IF’s small-signal bandwidth is approximately 45 MHz from IFHI and IFLO through IFOP. The peak output at IFOP is ± 560 mV at V
= 3 V and ± 400 mV at the minimum VP of
P
2.7 V. This allows some headroom at the demodulator inputs (pin DMIP), which accept a maximum input of ±150 mV for IFs > 3 MHz and ±75 mV for IFs 3 MHz (at IFs 3 MHz, the drive to the demodulators must be reduced to avoid saturat­ing the output amplifiers with higher order mixing products that are no longer removed by the onboard low-pass filters).
Since there is no band-limiting in the IF strip, the output­referred noise can be quite high; in a typical application and at a gain of 75 dB it is about 100 mV rms, making post-IF filtering desirable. IFOP may be also used as an IF output for driving an A/D converter, external demodulator, or external AGC detector. Figure 36 shows methods of matching the optional second IF filter.

Table II lists gain control voltages and scale factors for power supply voltages from 2.7 V to 5.5 V.
Alternatively, pin GREF can be tied to an external voltage reference, V
, provided, for example, by an AD1582 (2.5 V)

or AD1580 (1.21 V) voltage reference, to provide supply­independent gain scaling of V
/75 (volts per dB). When using

the Analog Devices’ AD7013 and AD7015 baseband converters, the external reference may also be provided by the reference output of the baseband converter (Figure 37). For example, the AD7015 baseband converter provides a V
of 1.23 V; when
R
connected to GREF the gain scaling is 16.4 mV/dB (60 dB/V). An auxiliary DAC in the AD7015 can be used to generate the MGC voltage. Since it uses the same reference voltage, the numerical input to this DAC provides an accurate RSSI value in digital form, no longer requiring the reference voltage to have high absolute accuracy.

Gain Scaling and RSSI
The AD607’s overall gain, expressed in decibels, is linear-in-dB with respect to the AGC voltage V all sections is maximum when V sively up to V V
– 0.8 V). The gain of all stages changes in parallel. The AD607
P
= 2.2 V (for VP = 3 V; in general, up to a limit
G
at pin GAIN. The gain of
G
is zero, and reduces progres-
G
features temperature-compensation of the gain scaling. The gain control scaling is proportional to the reference voltage applied to the pin GREF. When this pin is tied to the midpoint of the supply (VMID), the scale is nominally 20 mV/dB (50 dB/V) for
= 3 V. Under these conditions, the lower 80 dB of gain range
V
P
(mixer plus IF) corresponds to a control voltage of 0.4 V
2.0 V. The final centering of this 1.6 V range depends on
V
G
the insertion losses of the IF filters used. More generally, the gain scaling using these connections is V
/150 (volts per dB), so
P
becomes 33.3 mV/dB (30 dB/V) using a 5 V supply, with a proportional change in the AGC range, to 0.33 V ≤ V
3 V,

I/Q Demodulators
Both demodulators (I and Q) receive their inputs at pin DMIP. Internally, this single-sided input is actually differential; the noninverting input is referenced to pin VMID. Each demodula­tor comprises a full-wave synchronous detector followed by a 2 MHz, two-pole low-pass filter, producing single-sided outputs at pins IOUT and QOT. Using the I and Q demodulators for IFs above 12 MHz is precluded by the 400 kHz to 12 MHz response of the PLL used in the demodulator section. Pin DMIP requires an external bias source at V
/2; Figure 38 shows
P
suggested methods.
Outputs IOUT and QOUT are centered at V
/2 and can swing
P
up to ±1.23 V even at the low supply voltage of 2.7 V. They can therefore directly drive the RX ADCs in the AD7015 baseband converter, which require an amplitude of 1.23 V to fully load them when driven by a single-sided signal. The conversion gain of the I and Q demodulators is 18 dB (X8), requiring a maxi­mum input amplitude at DMIP of ±150 mV for IFs > 3 MHz.

For IFs < 3 MHz, the on-chip low-pass filters (2 MHz cutoff) do not attenuate the IF or feedthrough products; thus, the maximum input voltage at DMIP must be limited to ±75 mV to allow sufficient headroom at the I and Q outputs for not only the desired baseband signal but also the unattenuated higher­order demodulation products. These products can be removed by an external low-pass filter. In the case of IS54 applications using a 455 kHz IF and the AD7013 baseband converter, a simple one-pole RC filter with its corner above the modulation band­width is sufficient to attenuate undesired outputs.
Phase-Locked Loop
The demodulators are driven by quadrature signals that are provided by a variable frequency quadrature oscillator (VFQO), phase locked to a reference signal applied to pin FDIN. When this signal is at the IF, inphase and quadrature baseband outputs
are generated at IOUT and QOUT, respectively. The quadra­ture accuracy of this VFQO is typically –1.2° at 10.7 MHz. The PLL uses a sequential-phase detector that comprises low power emitter-coupled logic and a charge pump (Figure 39).

The reference signal may be provided from an external source, in the form of a high-level clock, typically a low level signal (± 400 mV) since there is an input amplifier between FDIN and the loop’s phase detector. For example, the IF output itself can be used by connecting DMIP to FDIN, which will then provide automatic carrier recover for synchronous AM detection and take advantage of any post-IF filtering. Pin FDIN must be biased at V
/2; Figure 41 shows suggested methods.
P
The VFQO operates from 400 kHz to 12 MHz and is controlled by the voltage between VPOS and FLTR. In normal operation, a series RC network, forming the PLL loop filter, is connected from FLTR to ground. The use of an integral sample-hold system ensures that the frequency-control voltage on pin FLTR remains held during power-down, so reacquisition of the carrier typically occurs in 16.5 µs.
In practice, the probability of a phase mismatch at power-up is high, so the worst-case linear settling period to full lock needs to be considered in making filter choices. This is typically 16.5 µs at an IF of 10.7 MHz for a ±100 mV signal at DMIP and FDIN.

AD607
Bias System
The AD607 operates from a single supply, VP, usually of 3 V, at a typical supply current of 8.5 mA at midgain and T = 27°C, corresponding to a power consumption of 25 mW. Any voltage from 2.7 V to 5.5 V may be used.
The bias system includes a fast-acting active-high CMOS­compatible power-up switch, allowing the part to idle at 550 µA when disabled. Biasing is proportional-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT) to ensure stable gain with temperature.
An independent regulator generates a voltage at the midpoint of the supply (V
/2) which appears at the VMID pin, at a low
P
impedance. This voltage does not shut down, ensuring that the major signal interfaces (e.g., mixer-to-IF and IF-to-demodulators) remain biased at all times, thus minimizing transient disturbances at power-up and allowing the use of substantial decoupling capacitors on this node. The quiescent consumption of this regulator is included in the idling current.

USING THE AD607
In this section, we will focus on a few areas of special impor­tance and include a few general application tips. As is true of any wideband high gain component, great care is needed in PC board layout. The location of the particular grounding points must be considered with due regard to possibility of unwanted signal coupling, particularly from IFOP to RFHI or IFHI or both.
The high sensitivity of the AD607 leads to the possibility that unwanted local EM signals may have an effect on the perfor­mance. During system development, carefully-shielded test assemblies should be used. The best solution is to use a fully­enclosed box enclosing all components, with the minimum number of needed signal connectors (RF, LO, I and Q outputs) in miniature coax form.
The I and Q output leads can include small series resistors (about 100 ) inside the shielded box without significant loss of performance, provided the external loading during testing is light (that is, a resistive load of more than 20 k and capaci­tances of a few picofarads). These help to keep unwanted RF emanations out of the interior.
The power supply should be connected via a through-hole capacitor with a ferrite bead on both inside and outside leads. Close to the IC pins, two capacitors of different value should be used to decouple the main supply (V
) and the midpoint supply
P
pin, VMID. Guidance on these matters is also generally included in applications schematics.
Gain Distribution
As in all receivers, the most critical decisions in effectively using the AD607 relate to the partitioning of gain between the various subsections (Mixer, IF Amplifier, Demodulators) and the place­ment of filters, so as to achieve the highest overall signal-to-noise ratio and lowest intermodulation distortion.
Figure 41 shows the main RF/IF signal path at maximum and minimum signal levels.

Using the AD607 with a Fast PRUP Control Signal
If the AD607 is used in a system in which the PRUP signal (Pin
3) is applied with a rise time less than 35 µs, anomalous behav- ior occasionally occurs. The problem is intermittent, so it will not occur every time the part is powered up under these condi­tions. It does not occur for any other normal operating conditions when the PRUP signal has a rise time slower than 35 µs. Symp- toms of operation with too fast a PRUP signal include low gain, oscillations at the I or Q outputs of the device or no valid data occurring at the output of the AD607. The problem causes no permanent damage to the AD607, so it will often operate nor­mally when reset.
Fortunately, there is a very simple solution to the fast PRUP problem. If the PRUP signal (Pin 3) is slowed down so that the rise time of the signal edge is greater than 35 µs, the anomalous behavior will not occur. This can be realized by a simple RC circuit connected to the PRUP pin, where R = 4.7 k and C = 1.5 nF. This circuit is shown in Figure 44.

Figure 44. Proper Configuration of AD607 PRUP Signal
All designs incorporating the AD607 should include this circuitry.
Note that connecting the PRUP pin to the supply voltage will not eliminate the problem since the supply voltage may have a rise time faster than 35 µs. With this configuration, the 4.7 k series R and 1.5 nF shunt C should be placed between the supply and the PRUP pin as shown in Figure 44.

AD607 EVALUATION BOARD

The AD607 evaluation board (Figures 45 and 46) consists of an AD607, ground plane, I/O connectors, and a 10.7 MHz band­pass filter. The RF and LO ports are terminated in 50 to provide a broadband match to external signal generators to allow a choice of RF and LO input frequencies. The IF filter is at 10.7 MHz and has 330 input and output terminations; the board is laid out to allow the user to substitute other filters for other IFs.
The board provides SMA connectors for the RF and LO port inputs, the demodulated I and Q outputs, the manual gain con­trol (MGC) input, the PLL input, and the power-up input. In addition, the IF output is also available at an SMA connector; this may be connected to the PLL input for carrier recovery to realize synchronous AM and FM detection via the I and Q demodulators, respectively. Table III lists the AD607 Evalua­tion Board’s I/O Connectors and their functions.

In operation (Figure 47), the AD607 evaluation board draws about 8.5 mA at midgain (59 dB). Use high impedance probes to monitor signals from the demodulated I and Q outputs and the IF output. The MGC voltage should be set such that the signal level at DMIP does not exceed ±150 mV; signal levels
