The ADMV4420 is a highly integrated， double balanced， active mixer with an integrated fractional-N synthesizer， ideally suited for next generation K band satellite communications.

The RF front end consists of an integrated RF balun and low noise amplifier （LNA） for an optimal， 7 dB， single-sideband noise figure while minimizing external components. Additionally， the high dynamic range IF output amplifier provides a nominal conversion gain of 36 dB.

An integrated low phase noise， fractional-N， phase-locked loop （PLL） with a multicore voltage controlled oscillator （VCO） and internal 2× multiplier generate the necessary on-chip LO signal for the double balanced mixer， eliminating the need for external frequency synthesis. The multicore VCO uses an internal autocalibration routine that allows the PLL to select the necessary settings and lock in approximately 400 μs.

The reference input to the PLL employs a differentially excited 50 MHz crystal oscillator. Alternatively， the reference input can be driven by an external， singled-ended， 50 MHz source. The phase frequency detector （PFD） comparison frequency of the PLL operates up to 50 MHz.

The ADMV4420 is fabricated on a silicon germanium （SiGe）， bipolar complementary metal-oxide semiconductor （BiCMOS） process， and is available in a 32-lead， RoHS compliant， 5 mm × 5 mm LFCSP package with an exposed pad. The device is specified over the ?40°C to +85°C temperature range on a 5 V power supply.

評(píng)估板ADMV4420-EVALZ

The ADMV4420-EVALZ evaluation board can be used to evaluate the performance of the ADMV4420. The top and cross sectional layout views of the ADMV4420-EVALZ evaluation board are shown in Figure 126 and Figure 127， respectively. The RF transmission lines were designed using a coplanar waveguide （CPWG） model with a line width （W） of 16 mil and 13 mil of ground spacing for a characteristic impedance of 50Ω for the RF input （RFIN） and the external reference input （REF/XTAL1）。 The line width and ground spacing for the IF output （IFOUT） are 9 mil and 15 mil， respectively. The PCB is made with Rogers 4350B dielectric material， which offers low loss performance， and isola 370HR dielectric material， which achieves the required thickness of the PCB.

The ADMV4420-EVALZ comes with an ADMV4420 chip. Figure 4 shows the location of this chip on the evaluation board and the block diagram of the ADMV4420.

When evaluating the device， connect the RF input to an RF signal generator. The ADMV4420-EVALZ runs on a 5 V dc supply. Figure 2 shows the top side of the ADMV4420-EVALZ and is intended for evaluation purposes only.

Connect the 5 V dc to the VPOS1 test point and ground to the GND2 test point on the ADMV4420-EVALZ. Connect a 50 Ω SMA female to a 75 Ω Type F male adapter to J4 （IF output）。 Connect the output of the adapter to a spectrum analyzer. The ADMV4420-EVALZ has 50 MHz crystal on board. Optionally， the user can connect a reference signal from a low phase signal generator to the J2 SMA connector. If the user wants to use an external reference， depopulate Y1， C5， and C6 and then install a 0.01 μF capacitor at C21， a 1 nF capacitor at C6， and 50 Ω at R21. See Figure 5 for ADMV4420-EVALZ lab connections. Figure 3 shows the block diagram of the ADMV4420 lab bench setup.
