GENERAL DESCRIPTION
UAA2073M contains both a receiver front-end and a high
frequency transmit mixer intended for GSM (Global
System for Mobile communications) cellular telephones.
Designed in an advanced BiCMOS process it combines
high performance with low power consumption and a high
degree of integration, thus reducing external component
costs and total front-end size.
The main advantage of the UAA2073M is its ability to
provide over 30 dB of image rejection. Consequently, the
image filter between the LNA and the mixer is suppressed
and the duplexer design is eased, compared with a
conventional front-end design.
UAA2073M
Image rejection is achieved in the internal architecture by
two RF mixers in quadrature and two all-pass filters in I
and Q IF channels that phase shift the IF by 45° and 135°
respectively. The two phase shifted IFs are recombined
and buffered to furnish the IF output signal.
For instance, signals presented at the RF input at LO + IF
frequency are rejected through this signal processing
while signals at LO − IF frequency can form the IF signal.
An internal switch allows to reject the upper or lower image
frequency. Image rejection is at an optimum when the IF is
71 MHz and local oscillator is above the wanted signal.
The receiver section consists of a low-noise amplifier that
drives a quadrature mixer pair. The IF amplifier has
on-chip 45° and 135° phase shifting and a combining
network for image rejection.The IF driver has differential
open-collector type outputs.
The LO part consists of an internal all-pass type phase
shifter to provide quadrature LO signals to the receive
mixers. The all-pass filters outputs are buffered before
been fed to the receive mixers.
The transmit section consists of a down-conversion mixer
and a transmit IF driver stage. In the transmit mode an
internal LO buffer is used to drive the transmit IF
down-conversion mixer.
All RF and IF inputs or outputs are balanced to reduce
EMC issues.
Fast power-up switching is possible. A synthesizer-on
(synthon) mode enables LO buffers independent of the
other circuits. When SYNTHON pin is HIGH, all internal
buffers on the LO path of the circuit are turned on, thus
minimizing LO pulling when remainder of receive chain is
powered-up.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Receive section
The circuit contains a low-noise amplifier followed by two
high dynamic range mixers. These mixers are of the
Gilbert-cell type. The whole internal architecture is fully
differential.
The local oscillator, shifted in phase to 45° and 135°,
mixes the amplified RF to create I and Q channels. The
two I and Q channels are buffered, phase shifted by 45°
and 135° respectively, amplified and recombined internally
to realize the image rejection.
Pin SBS allows sideband selection:
• f
LO<fRF
• fLO>fRF (SBS = 0).
(SBS = 1)
UAA2073M
Balanced signal interfaces are used for minimizing
crosstalk due to package parasitics. The RF differential
input impedance is 150 Ω (parallel real part), choosen to
minimize current consumption at best noise performance.
The IF output is differential and of the open-collector type,
tuned for 71 MHz. Typical application will load the output
with a differential 500 Ω load; i.e. a 500 Ω resistor load at
each IF output, plus a 1 kΩ to x Ω narrow band matching
network (x Ω being the input impedance of the IF filter).
The path to V
inductors. The output voltage is limited to VCC+3Vbe or
3 diode forward voltage drops.
Fast switching, on/off, of the receive section is controlled
by the hardware input RXON.

Local oscillator section
The local oscillator (LO) input directly drives the two
internal all-pass networks to provide quadrature LO to the
receive mixers.
The LO differential input impedance is 50 Ω
(parallel real part).
A synthesizer-on (synthon) mode is used to power-up the
buffering on the LO inputs, minimizing the pulling effect on
the external VCO when entering transmit or receive
modes.
This mode is active when the SYNTHON input is HIGH.
Table 1 shows status of circuit in accordance with TXON,
RXON and SYNTHON inputs.

UAA2073M
Transmit mixer
This mixer is used for down-conversion to the transmit IF.
Its inputs are coupled to the transmit RF and down-convert
it to a modulated transmit IF frequency which is phase
locked with the baseband modulation.
The transmit mixer provides a differential input at 200 Ω
and a differential output driver buffer for a 1 kΩ load. The
IF outputs are low impedance (emitter followers).
Fast switching, on/off, of the transmit section is controlled
by the hardware input TXON.

SOLDERING
Introduction
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all IC
packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when
through-hole and surface mounted components are mixed
on one printed-circuit board. However, wave soldering is
not always suitable for surface mounted ICs, or for
printed-circuits with high population densities. In these
situations reflow soldering is often used.
This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology.
A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in
our
“IC Package Databook”
Reflow soldering
Reflow soldering techniques are suitable for all SSOP
packages.
Reflow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of
fine solder particles, flux and binding agent) to be applied
to the printed-circuit board by screen printing, stencilling or
pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement.
Several techniques exist for reflowing; for example,
thermal conduction by heated belt. Dwell times vary
between 50 and 300 seconds depending on heating
method. Typical reflow temperatures range from
215 to 250 °C.
Preheating is necessary to dry the paste and evaporate
the binding agent. Preheating duration: 45 minutes at
45 °C.
Wave soldering
Wave soldering is not recommended for SSOP packages.
This is because of the likelihood of solder bridging due to
closely-spaced leads and the possibility of incomplete
solder penetration in multi-lead devices.
(order code 9398 652 90011).
UAA2073M
If wave soldering cannot be avoided, the following
conditions must be observed:
• A double-wave (a turbulent wave with high upward
pressure followed by a smooth laminar wave)
soldering technique should be used.
• The longitudinal axis of the package footprint must
be parallel to the solder flow and must incorporate
solder thieves at the downstream end.
Even with these conditions, only consider wave
soldering SSOP packages that have a body width of
4.4 mm, that is SSOP16 (SOT369-1) or
SSOP20 (SOT266-1).
During placement and before soldering, the package must
be fixed with a droplet of adhesive. The adhesive can be
applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe
dispensing. The package can be soldered after the
adhesive is cured.
Maximum permissible solder temperature is 260 °C, and
maximum duration of package immersion in solder is
10 seconds, if cooled to less than 150 °C within
6 seconds. Typical dwell time is 4 seconds at 250 °C.
A mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal
of corrosive residues in most applications.
Repairing soldered joints
Fix the component by first soldering two diagonallyopposite end leads. Use only a low voltage soldering iron
(less than 24 V) applied to the flat part of the lead. Contact
time must be limited to 10 seconds at up to 300 °C. When
using a dedicated tool, all other leads can be soldered in
one operation within 2 to 5 seconds between
270 and 320 °C.
