The HFA3726 is a highly integrated
baseband converter for quadrature
modulation applications. It features all
the necessary functionality for
baseband modulation and
demodulation of I and Q signals. It has a two stage
integrated limiting IF amplifier with 84dB of gain and a built in
Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). “I” and “Q”
Baseband antialiasing and shaping filters are integrated in
this design. In addition, these filters are continuously tunable
over a ±10% frequency range via one external resistor. The
modulator channel receives digital I and Q data for
processing. To achieve broadband operation, the Local
Oscillator frequency input is required to be twice the desired
frequency of modulation/demodulation. A selectable
buffered divide by 2 LO output and a stable reference
voltageis provided forconvenienceoftheuser.Thedeviceis
housed in a thin 80 lead TQFP package well suited for
PCMCIA board applications.

NOTES:
1. The HFA3726 generates a lower side band signal when the “I” input leads the “Q” input by 90 degrees.
2. For a reference LO frequency higher than a CW IF signal input, the “I” channel leads the “Q” channel by 90 degrees.
3. The in-phase reference LO transitions occur at the rising edges of the 2XLO signal. Quadrature LO transitions occur at the falling edges. 180
degrees phase ambiguity is expected for carrier locked systems without differential encoding.
CAUTION: Stresses above those listed in “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress only rating and operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied.
