PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The AD8349 is a silicon, monolithic, RF quadrature modulator
that is designed for use from 700 MHz to 2700 MHz. Its
excellent phase accuracy and amplitude balance enable high
performance direct RF modulation for communication systems.
The differential LO input signal is buffered, and then split into
an in-phase (I) signal and a quadrature-phase (Q) signal using a
polyphase phase splitter. These two LO signals are further
buffered and then mixed with the corresponding I channel and
Q channel baseband signals in two Gilbert cell mixers. The
mixers’ outputs are then summed together in the output
amplifier. The output amplifier is designed to drive 50 Ω loads.
The RF output can be switched on and off within 50 ns by
applying a control pulse to the ENOP pin.
The AD8349 can be used as a direct-to-RF modulator in digital
communication systems such as GSM, CDMA, and WCDMA
base stations, and QPSK or QAM broadband wireless access
transmitters. Its high dynamic range and high modulation
accuracy also make it a perfect IF modulator in local multipoint
distribution systems (LMDS) using complex modulation
formats.
The AD8349 is fabricated using Analog Devices’ advanced
complementary silicon bipolar process, and is available in a 16-
lead exposed-paddle TSSOP package. Its performance is
specified over a –40°C to +85°C temperature range.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Table 2. AD8349 Absolute Maximum Ratings Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
ESD 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 this product 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.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
OVERVIEW The AD8349 can be divided into five sections: the local oscil-
lator (LO) interface, the baseband voltage-to-current (V-to-I)
converter, the mixers, the differential-to-single-ended (D-to-S)
amplifier, and the bias circuit. A detailed block diagram of the
device is shown in Figure 42.

Figure 42. AD8349 Block Diagram
The LO interface generates two LO signals at 90 degrees of
phase difference to drive two mixers in quadrature. Baseband
signals are converted into currents by the V-to-I converters,
which feed into the two mixers. The outputs of the mixers
combine to feed the differential-to-single-ended amplifier,
which provides a 50 Ω output interface. Reference currents to
each section are generated by the bias circuit. Additionally, the
RF output is controlled by an output enable pin (ENOP), which
is capable of switching the output on and off within 50 ns. A
detailed description of each section follows.
LO INTERFACE The LO interface consists of interleaved stages of buffer
amplifiers and polyphase phase splitters. An input buffer
provides a 50 Ω termination to the LO signal source driving
LOIP and LOIN. The buffer also increases the LO signal
amplitude to drive the phase splitter. The phase splitter is
formed by an R-C polyphase network that splits the buffered
LO signal into two parts in precise quadrature phase relation
with each other. Each LO signal then passes through a buffer
amplifier to compensate for the signal loss through the phase
splitter. The two signals pass through another polyphase
network to enhance the quadrature accuracy over the full
operating frequency range. The outputs of the second phase
splitter are fed into the driver amplifiers for the mixers’ LO
inputs.
V-TO-I CONVERTER The differential baseband input voltages that are applied to the
baseband input pins are fed to two op amps that perform a
differential voltage-to-current conversion. The differential
output currents of these op amps then feed each of their
respective mixers.
MIXERS The AD8349 has two double-balanced mixers, one for the in-
phase channel (I channel) and one for the quadrature channel
(Q channel). Both mixers are based on the Gilbert cell design of
four cross-connected transistors. The output currents from the
two mixers sum together in a pair of resistor-inductor (R-L)
loads. The signals developed across the R-L loads are sent to the
D-to-S amplifier.
D-TO-S AMPLIFIER The output D-to-S amplifier consists of two emitter followers
driving a totem pole output stage. Output impedance is estab-
lished by the emitter resistors in the output transistors. The
output of this stage connects to the output (VOUT) pin.
BIAS CIRCUIT A band gap reference circuit generates the proportional-to-
absolute-temperature (PTAT) reference currents used by
different sections. The band gap reference circuit also generates
a temperature stable current in the V-to-I converters to produce
a temperature independent slew rate.
OUTPUT ENABLE During normal operation (ENOP = high), the output current
from the V-to-I converters feeds into the mixers, where they
mix with the two phases of LO signals. When ENOP is pulled
low, the V-to-I output currents are steered away from the
mixers, thus turning off the RF output. Power to the final stage
of LO drivers is also removed to minimize LO feedthrough.
Even when the output is disabled, the differential-to-single-
ended stage is still powered up to maintain constant output
impedance.
