GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This TDA8051 is a monolithic bipolar IC intended for
Quadrature Phase Shift Key (QPSK) demodulation. It
includes:
• Low noise RF and gain controlled amplifier
• Two matched mixers
• Symmetrical Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) with
0to90°signal generator whosefrequency is controlled
by an integrated Phase Lock Loop (PLL) circuit.
• Two matched amplifiers for output base-band active
filtering and output buffers
The gain control is produced by output level detection
compared with an external pre-fixed reference. The PLL
consists of:
• Divide by four preamplifier
• 12-bit programmable main divider
• Crystal oscillator with 8-bit programmable reference
divider
• Phase/frequency detector combined with charge pump
to drive tuning amplifier

The QPSK modulated signal is applied to the input as an
asymmetrical RF signal in the bandwidth 44 to 130 MHz.
The spectrum extension to this waveform must be limited
by a band-pass filter superseding the IC.
The RF input is either the LNA input, if the level is
−30 to 0 dBmVrms, or the DEMOD input if the level is
−20 to +10 dBmVrms. The amplified RF signal is then
mixed with two clocks in quadrature to provide the
base-band demodulated In-phase (I) and Quad-phase (Q)
signals.
The VCO operates at twice the RF carrier frequency in the
bandwidth 88 - 260 MHz (one octave), therefore the
0to90° clocks are generated by a divider by 2.
The VCO frequency can be programmed by an integrated
PLL that tunes the external LC tank circuit.
The raw I and Q generated signals contain spurious
spikes, therefore each signal is passed through a third
order active low-pass filter (RC cell + Sallen-Key
structure), whose cut-off frequency is set by external
components. The filtered I and Q data signals are then
amplified to provide balanced buffer outputs.
The data sent to the PLL is loaded in bursts, framed by
signal EN. Programming clock edges, together with their
relevant data bits, are ignored until EN becomes active
(LOW). The internal latches are updated with the latest
programming data when EN returns to inactive (HIGH).
The last 14 bits only are retained within the programming
register. No check is made on the number of clock pulses
received while programming is enabled. An active clock
edge causing a shift of the data bits is generated when
EN goesHIGHwhileCLOCKisstillLOW. The main divider
ratio and the reference divider ratio are provided via the
serial bus (see Table 1).

1. The frequency range of the receiver is 44 to 130 MHz. The local oscillator (LO) operates at twice the output
frequency (88 to 260 MHz). Frequency control by varicap diodes allows a variation over one octave.
2. Crystal oscillator. The crystal oscillator uses a 4, 2 or 1 MHz crystal in series with a capacitor. The crystal is parallel
resonant with load capacitance of 18 to 20 pF. Connection to VCC is preferred but can also be to GND.

SOLDERING
Introduction to soldering surface mount packages
Thistext gives a very brief insight to acomplextechnology.
A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in
our
“Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages”
(document order number 9398 652 90011).
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all surface
mount IC packages. Wave soldering is not always suitable
for surface mount ICs, or for printed-circuit boards with
high population densities. In these situations reflow
soldering is often used.
Reflow soldering
Reflow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of
fine solder particles, flux and binding agent) to be applied
totheprinted-circuitboardbyscreen printing, stencilling or
pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement.
Several methods exist for reflowing; for example,
infrared/convection heating in a conveyor type oven.
Throughput times (preheating, soldering and cooling) vary
between 100 and 200 seconds depending on heating
method.
Typical reflow peak temperatures range from
215 to 250 °C. The top-surface temperature of the
packages should preferable be kept below 230 °C.
• Use a double-wave soldering method comprising a
turbulent wave with high upward pressure followed by a
smooth laminar wave.
• For packages with leads on two sides and a pitch (e):
– larger than or equal to 1.27 mm, the footprint
longitudinal axis is preferred to be parallel to the
transport direction of the printed-circuit board;
– smaller than 1.27 mm, the footprint longitudinal axis
must be parallel to the transport direction of the
printed-circuit board.
The footprint must incorporate solder thieves at the
downstream end.
• Forpackages with leads on four sides,thefootprint must
be placed at a 45° angle to the transport direction of the
printed-circuit board. The footprint must incorporate
solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.
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.
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.
Manual soldering
Wave soldering
Conventional single wave soldering is not recommended
forsurface mount devices (SMDs) or printed-circuitboards
with a high component density, as solder bridging and
non-wetting can present major problems.
To overcome these problems the double-wave soldering
method was specifically developed.
If wave soldering is used the following conditions must be
observed for optimal results:
Fix the component by first soldering two
diagonally-opposite end leads. Use a low voltage (24 V or
less) soldering iron 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.

Notes
1. All surface mount (SMD) packages are moisture sensitive. Depending upon the moisture content, the maximum
temperature (with respect to time) and body size of the package, there is a risk that internal or external package
cracks may occur due to vaporization of the moisture in them (the so called popcorn effect). For details, refer to the
Drypack information in the
2. These packages are not suitable for wave soldering as a solder joint between the printed-circuit board and heatsink
(at bottom version) can not be achieved, and as solder may stick to the heatsink (on top version).
3. If wave soldering is considered, then the package must be placed at a 45° angle to the solder wave direction.
The package footprint must incorporate solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.
4. Wave soldering is only suitable for LQFP, TQFP and QFP packages with a pitch (e) equal to or larger than 0.8 mm;
it is definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.65 mm.
5. Wave soldering is only suitable for SSOP and TSSOP packages with a pitch (e) equal to or larger than 0.65 mm; it is
definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.5 mm.
