Description

The SKY73090-21 is a fully integrated diversity mixer that includes Local Oscillator (LO) drivers, an LO switch, high linearity mixers, and large dynamic range Intermediate Frequency (IF) amplifiers. Low loss RF baluns have also been included to reduce design complications and lower system cost. The SKY73090-21 features an input IP3 of +24.2 dBm and a Noise Figure (NF) of 9.4 dB, making the device an ideal solution for high dynamic range systems such as 2G/3G base station receivers. The LO switch provides more than 40 dB of isolation between LO inputs and supports the switching time required for GSM/EDGE base stations. The SKY73090-21 is manufactured using a robust silicon BiCMOS process and has been designed for optimum long-term reliability. The SKY73090-21 diversity downconversion mixer is provided in a compact, 36-pin Multi-Chip Module (MCM). A functional block diagram is shown in Figure 1. The pin configuration and package are shown in Figure 2. Signal pin assignments and functional pin descriptions are provided in Table 1.

The device consists of two diversity channels, each consisting of a low loss RF balun, high linearity passive mixer, and a low noise IF amplifier. The SKY73090-21 also includes a power-down feature used to lower the supply current for standby operation. LO amplifiers are also included that allow the SKY73090-21 to connect directly to the output of a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). This eliminates the extra gain stages needed by most discrete passive mixers. A Single Pole, Double Throw (SPDT) switch has been included to select between two different LO inputs for frequency hopping applications (i.e., GSM). RF Baluns and Passive Mixer The RF baluns provide a single ended input, which can easily be matched to 50  using a simple matching circuit. The RF baluns offer very low loss and excellent amplitude and phase balance. The high linearity mixer is a passive, double balanced mixer that provides a very low insertion loss, and excellent 3 rd Order Input Insertion Point (IIP3) and linearity performance. Addtionally, the balanced nature of the mixer provides for excellent port-to-port isolation. LO Buffers and SPDT LO Switch The LO buffers allow the input power of the SKY73090-21 to be programmed in the range of –6 to +6 dBm. The LO section has been optimized for low-side LO injection. However, the LO can be driven over a wide frequency range with only slight degradation in performance. A high isolation SPDT switch allows the SKY73090-21 to be used for frequency hopping applications. This switch provides greater than 55 dB of LO1 to LO2 isolation: LO_SEL Logic: State: High LO1 enabled Low LO2 enabled For applications that do not require frequency hopping, LO_SEL is fixed to one state and the appropriate LO input is used. IF Amplifier The SKY73090-21 includes high dynamic range IF amplifiers that follow the passive mixers in the signal path. The outputs require a supply voltage connection using inductive chokes. These choke inductors should be high-Q and have the ability to handle 200 mA or greater. A simple matching network allows the output ports to be matched to a balanced 200  impedance. The IF amplifiers are optimized for IF frequencies between 40 and 250 MHz. The IF amplifiers can be operated outside of this range, but with a slight degradation in performance. Power-Down Mode The SKY73090-21 also includes a low current power-down mode controlled by pin 22 (PWRDN). When this pin is at a logic high level, the power-down function is enabled with the total mixer current under 1 μA. Electrical and Mechanical Specifications The absolute maximum ratings of the SKY73090-21 are provided in Table 2. The recommended operating conditions are specified in Table 3 and electrical specifications are provided in Table 4.
