GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
amplifiers together provide 69.5 dB of gain control. A precision  
control circuit sets the Linear-in-dB RF gain response to the gain  
control voltage.  
The AD8347 is a broadband Direct Quadrature Demodulator  
with RF and baseband Automatic Gain Control (AGC) amplifiers.  
It is suitable for use in many communications receivers,  
performing Quadrature demodulation directly to baseband  
frequencies. The input frequency range is 800 MHz to 2.7 GHz.  
The outputs can be connected directly to popular A-to-D converters  
such as the AD9201 and AD9283.  
Baseband level detectors are included for use in an AGC loop to  
maintain the output level. The demodulator dc offsets are  
minimized by an internal loop, whose time constant is controlled  
by external capacitor values. The offset control can also be  
overridden by forcing an external voltage at the offset nulling pins.  
The RF input signal goes through two stages of variable gain  
amplifiers prior to two Gilbert-cell Mixers. The LO quadrature  
phase splitter employs polyphase filters to achieve high quadra-  
ture accuracy and amplitude balance over the entire operating  
frequency range. Separate I & Q channel variable-gain amplifiers  
follow the baseband outputs of the mixers. The RF and baseband  
The baseband variable gain amplifier outputs are brought off-chip  
for filtering before final amplification. By inserting a channel  
selection filter before each output amplifier high-level out-of-  
channel interferers can be eliminated. Additional internal circuitry  
also allows the user to set the dc common-mode level at the  
baseband outputs.

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  
the AD8347 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.

LO Input. For optimum performance, these inputs should be driven differentially. Typical input  
drive level is equal to –8 dBm. To improve the match to a 50 source, connect a 200 shunt  
resistor between LOIP and LOIN. A single-ended drive is also possible but this will slightly  
increase LO leakage.

IOPN, IOPP  
Positive Supply for LO Section. This pin should be decoupled with 0.1 µF and 100 pF capacitors.  
I Channel Differential Baseband Output. Typical output swing is equal to 760 mV p-p differential  
in AGC mode. The common mode level on these pins is programmed by the voltage on VCMO.  
Baseband Amplifier Common-Mode Voltage. The voltage applied to this pin sets the output  
common-mode level of the baseband amplifiers. This pin can either be connected to VREF  
(Pin 14) or to a reference voltage from another device (typically an ADC).  
I Channel Baseband Amplifier Input. This pin, which has a high input impedance, should be  
biased to VREF (approximately 1 V). If IAIN is connected directly to IMXO, biasing will be  
provided by IMXO. If an ac-coupled filter is placed between IMXO and IAIN, this pin can be  
biased from VREF through a 1 kresistor. The gain from IAIN to the differential outputs  
IOPN/IOPP is 30 dB.

I & Q Channel Baseband Mixer/VGA Outputs. These are low impedance outputs whose bias  
levels are equal to VREF. IMXO and QMXO are typically connected to IAIN and QAIN  
respectively, either directly or through filters. These outputs have a maximum current limit of  
about 1.5 mA. This allows for a 600 mV p-p swing into a 200 load. This corresponds to an  
input level of –40 dBm @ max gain of 39.5 dB. At lower output levels, IMXO and QMXO, can  
drive a lower load resistance, subject to the same current limit.

RF Input. RFIN must be ac-coupled to ground. The RF input signal should be ac-coupled into  
RFIP. For a broadband 50 input impedance, connect a 200 resistor from the signal side of  
RFIP’s coupling capacitor to ground. Please note that RFIN and RFIP are not interchangeable  
differential inputs. RFIN is the ground reference for the input system.

VPS2  
Positive Supply for RF Section. This pin should be decoupled with 0.1 µF and 100 pF capacitors.  
I Channel and Q Channel Offset Nulling Inputs. To null the dc-offset on the I Channel and  
Q Channel Mixer Outputs (IMXO, QMXO), connect a 0.1 µF capacitor from these pins to  
ground. Alternately, a forced voltage of approximately 1 V on these pins will disable the offset  
compensation circuit.

Gain Control Input. The voltage on this pin controls the gain on the RF and baseband VGAs.  
The gain control is applied in parallel to all VGAs. The gain control voltage range is from 0.2 V  
to 1.2 V and corresponds to a gain range from +39.5 dB to –30 dB. This is the gain to the output  
of the baseband VGAs (i.e., QMXO and IMXO). There is an additional 30 dB of gain in the  
baseband amplifiers. Note that the gain control function has a negative sense (i.e., increasing  
control voltage decreases gain). In AGC mode, this pin is connected directly to VAGC.  
Detector Inputs. These pin are the inputs to the on-board detector. VDT2 and VDT1, which  
have high input impedances, are normally connected to IMXO and QMXO respectively.  
AGC Output. This pin provides the output voltage from the on-board detector. In AGC mode,  
this pin is connected directly to VGIN.  
Positive Supply for Biasing and Baseband Sections. This pin should be decoupled with 0.1 µF  
and 100 pF capacitors.  
Q Channel Baseband Amplifier Input. This pin, which has a high input impedance, should be  
biased to VREF (approximately 1 V). If QAIN is connected directly to QMXO, biasing will be  
provided by QMXO. If an ac-coupled filter is placed between QMXO and QAIN, this pin can  
be biased from VREF through a 1 kresistor. The gain from QAIN to the differential outputs  
QOPN/QOPP is 30 dB.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION  
OVERVIEW  
The AD8347 is a direct I/Q demodulator usable in digital  
wireless communication systems including Cellular, PCS, and  
Digital Video receivers. An RF signal in the frequency range of  
800 MHz–2700 MHz is directly downconverted to the I & Q  
components at baseband using a Local Oscillator (LO) signal at  
the same frequency as the RF signal.  
Baseband Variable Gain Amplifiers  
The baseband VGA’s also use the X-AMP approach with NPN-  
differential pairs separated by sections of resistive attenuators.  
The same interpolator controlling the RF amplifiers controls the  
tail currents of the differential pairs. The outputs of these ampli-  
fiers are provided off chip for external filtering. Automatic offset  
nulling minimizes the dc offsets at both I & Q channels. The  
common-mode output voltage is set to be the same as the reference  
voltage (1.0 V) generated in the Bias section, also made available  
at the VREF pin.  
The RF input signal goes through two stages of variable gain  
amplifiers before splitting up to reach two Gilbert-cell Mixers.  
The mixers are driven by a pair of Local Oscillator (LO)  
signals which are in quadrature (90 degrees of phase difference).  
The outputs of the mixers are applied to baseband I & Q channel  
variable-gain amplifiers. The outputs from these baseband  
variable gain amplifiers are brought out to pins for external  
filtering. The filter outputs are then applied to a pair of on-chip,  
fixed-gain baseband amplifiers. These amplifiers gain up the  
outputs from the external filters to a level compatible with most  
A-to-D Converters. A sum-of-squares detector is available for  
use in an Automatic Gain Control (AGC) loop to set the output  
level. The RF and baseband amplifiers provide approximately  
69.5 dB of gain control range. Additional on-chip circuits allow  
the setting of the dc level at the I & Q channel baseband out-  
puts, as well as nulling the dc offset at each channel.  
Output Amplifiers  
The output amplifiers gain up the signal coming back from each  
of the external filters to a level compatible with most high speed  
A-to-D converters. These amplifiers are based on an active-feedback  
design to achieve the high gain bandwidth and low distortion.  
LO and Phase-Splitters  
The incoming LO signal is applied to a polyphase phase-splitter  
to generate the LO signals for the I channel and Q channel  
mixers. The polyphase phase-splitters are RC networks con-  
nected in a cyclical manner to achieve gain balance and phase  
quadrature. The wide operating frequency range of these phase-  
splitters is achieved by cascading multiple sections of these  
networks with staggered RC constants. Each branch goes through  
a buffer to make up for the loss and high frequency roll-off. The  
output from the buffers then go into another polyphase phase-  
splitter to enhance the accuracy of phase quadrature. Each LO  
signal gets buffered again to drive the mixers.  
RF Variable Gain Amplifiers (VGA)  
These amplifiers use the patented X-AMP approach with NPN-  
differential pairs separated by sections of resistive attenuators.  
The gain control is achieved through a gaussian interpolator  
where the control voltage sets the tail currents to be supplied to  
the different differential pairs according to the gain desired. In  
the first amplifier, the combined output currents from the trans-  
conductance cells go through a cascode stage to resistive loads  
with inductive peaking. In the second amplifier the differential  
currents are split and fed to the two Gilbert-cell mixers through  
separate cascode stages.  
Output Level Detector  
Two signals proportional to the square of each output channel  
are summed together and compared to a built-in threshold to  
create an AGC voltage (VAGC). The inputs to this rms detector  
are referenced to VREF.  
Mixers  
Bias  
Two double balanced Gilbert-cell mixers, one for each channel,  
perform the In-phase (I) and Quadrature (Q) down conversion.  
Each mixer has four cross-connected transistor pairs which are  
An accurate reference circuit generates the reference currents

less than 400 µA of supply current. The reference voltage (VREF)  
of 1.0 V, which serves as the common-mode reference for the  
baseband circuits, is made available for external use.  
RF Input and Matching  
The RF input signal should be ac-coupled into the RFIP pin and  
RFIN should be ac-coupled to ground. To improve broadband  
matching to a 50 source, a 200 resistor may be connected  
from the signal side of RFIP’s coupling capacitor to ground.  
OPERATING THE AD8347  
Basic Connections  
LO Drive Interface  
Figure 4 shows the basic connections for operating the AD8347.  
The device is powered through three power supply pins: VPS1,  
VPS2, and VPS3. These pins supply current to different parts of  
the overall circuit. VPS1 and VPS2 power the Local Oscillator (LO)  
and RF sections, respectively, while VPS3 powers the baseband  
amplifiers. While all of these pins should be connected to the same  
supply voltage, each pin should be separately decoupled using two  
capacitors. 100 pF and 0.1 µF are recommended (values close  
to these may also be used).  
For optimum performance the LO inputs, LOIN and LOIP,  
should be driven differentially. M/A-COM balun, ETC1-1-13  
is recommended. Unless an (ac-coupled) transformer is being  
used to generate the differential LO, the inputs must be ac-coupled  
as shown. To improve broadband matching to a 50 source, a  
200 shunt resistor may be connected between LOIP and LOIN.  
An LO drive level of –8 dBm is recommended. TPC 17a shows  
the relationship between LO drive level, LO frequency, and  
quadrature error for a typical device.  
A supply voltage in the range 2.7 V to 5.5 V should be used. The  
quiescent current is 64 mA when operating from a 5 V supply.  
By pulling the ENBL pin low, the device goes into its power- down  
mode. The power-down current is 400 µA when operating on a  
5 V supply and 80 µA on a 2.7 V supply.  
A single-ended drive is also possible as shown in Figure 5, but  
this will slightly increase LO leakage. The LO signal should be  
applied through a coupling capacitor to LOIP, and LOIN should  
be ac-coupled to ground. Because the inputs are fully differen-  
tial, the drive orientation can be reversed. As in the case of the  
differential drive, a 200 resistor connected across LOIP and  
LOIN improves the match to a 50 source.  
Like the supply pins, the individual sections of the circuit are  
separately grounded. COM1, COM2, and COM3 provide ground  
for the LO, RF, and baseband sections respectively. All of these  
pins should be connected to the same low impedance ground.

Mixer Output Level and Drive Capability  
LOIN  
LO  
I & Q channel baseband outputs, IMXO and QMXO are low  
impedance outputs (ROUT @ 3 ) whose bias level is equal to  
VVREF, the voltage on Pin 14. The achievable output level on  
IMXO/QMXO is limited by their current drive capability of  
1.5 mA max. This would allow for a 600 mV p-p swing into a  
200 load. At lower output levels, IMXO and QMXO can  
drive smaller load resistances, subject to the same current limit.  
These output stages are not, however, designed to drive 50 Ω  
loads directly.

Operating the VGA  
A three-stage VGA sets the gain in the RF section. Two of the  
three stages come before the mixer while the third amplifies the  
mixer output. All three stages are driven in parallel. The gain  
range of the first RF VGA and that of the second RF VGA  
combined with the mixer are both –13 dB to +10 dB. The  
gain range of the baseband VGA is –4 dB to +19.5 dB. So the  
overall gain range from the RF input to the IMXO/QMXO pins  
is –30 dB to approximately +39.5 dB.  
Operating the VGA in AGC Mode  
While the VGA can be driven by an external source such as a  
DAC, the AD8347 has an on-board sum of squares detector  
which allows the AD8347 to operate in an automatic leveling  
mode. The connections for operating in this mode are shown in  
Figure 4. The two mixer outputs are connected to the detector  
inputs VDT1 and VDT2. The summed detector output drives  
an internal integrator which in turn delivers a gain correction  
voltage to the VAGC pin. A 0.1 µF capacitor from VAGC to  
ground sets the dominant pole of the integrator circuit. VAGC,  
which should be connected to VGIN, adjusts gain until an  
internal threshold is reached. This threshold corresponds to a level  
at the IMXO/QMXO pins of approximately 8.5 mV rms. This  
level will change slightly as a function of RF input power (see  
TPC 30). For a CW (sine wave) input this corresponds to  
The gain of the VGA is set by the voltage on the VGIN pin,  
which is a high impedance input. The gain control function  
(which is linear-in-dB) and linearity are shown in TPC 1 and  
TPC 2 at 1.9 GHz. Note that the sense of the gain control  
voltage is negative so as the gain control voltage ranges from 0.2 V  
to 1.2 V, the gain decreases from +39.5 dB to –30 dB.

approximately 24 mV p-p. If this signal is applied directly to the  
subsequent baseband amplifier stage, the final baseband output  
is 760 mV p-p differential. (See Baseband Amplifier section.)  
The differential output offset voltages of the baseband amplifiers  
are typically ±50 mV. This offset voltage results from both input  
and output effects.  
If the VGA gain is being set from an external source, the on-board  
detector inputs (VDT1 and VDT2) are not used and should be  
tied to VREF.  
The overall signal-to-noise ratio can be improved by increasing  
the VGA gain by driving it with an external voltage or by changing  
the setpoint of the AGC circuit. (See Changing the AGC Setpoint.)  
Note that in subsequent sections, peak-to-peak calculations  
assume a sine wave input. If the input signal has a higher peak-  
to-average ratio, the mixer output peak-to-peak voltage at which  
the AGC loop settles will be higher.  
Driving Capacitive Loads  
In applications where the baseband amplifiers are driving unbal-  
anced capacitive loads, some series resistance should be placed  
between the amplifier and the capacitive load. For example, for  
a 10 pF load, four 220 series resistors (one in each baseband  
output) should be used.  
Changing the AGC Setpoint  
The AGC circuit can be easily set up to level at voltages higher  
than the nominal 24 mV p-p as shown in Figure 6. The voltages  
on Pins IMXO and QMXO are attenuated before being applied  
to the detector inputs. In the example shown, an attenuation  
factor of 0.2 (–14 dB) between IMXO/QMXO and the detector  
inputs, will cause the VGA to level at approximately 120 mV p-p  
(note that resistor divider network must be referenced to VVREF).  
This results in a peak-to-peak output swing at the baseband  
amplifier outputs of 3.8 V differential, that is, 1.6 V to 3.4 V on  
each side. Note that VVCMO has been increased to 2.5 V to avoid  
signal clipping at the baseband outputs. Due to the attenuation  
between the mixer output and the detector input, the variation  
in the settled mixer output level, versus RF input power, will be  
greater than the variation shown in TPC 30. The variation will  
be greater by a factor equal to the inverse of the attenuation factor.  
External Baseband Amplification  
The baseband output offset voltage and noise can be reduced by  
bypassing the internal baseband amplifiers and amplifying the  
mixer output signal using a high quality differential amplifier. In  
the example shown in Figure 7, two AD8132 differential ampli-  
fiers are used to gain the mixer output signals up by 20 dB. In this  
example, the setpoint of the AGC circuit has been increased so that  
the input to the external amplifiers is approximately 72 mV p-p.  
This results in final baseband output signals of 720 mV p-p.  
The closed-loop bandwidth of the amplifiers in Figure 7 is equal  
to roughly 20 MHz. Higher bandwidths are achievable, but at  
the cost of lower closed-loop gain. In Figure 7, the output common  
mode levels (VOCM, Pin 2) of the differential amplifiers are set  
by the AD8347’s VREF (approximately 1 V). The output common  
mode levels can also be set externally (e.g., by the reference voltage  
from an ADC).  
Baseband Amplifiers  
The final baseband amplifier stage takes the signals from IMXO/  
QMXO and amplifies them by 30 dB, or a factor of 31.6. This  
results in a maximum system gain of 69.5 dB. When the VGA is  
in AGC mode, the baseband I & Q outputs (IOPN, IOPP,  
QOPN, and QOPP) deliver a differential voltage of approxi-  
mately 760 mV p-p (380 mV p-p on each side).

Filter Design Considerations  
50  
45  
Baseband low-pass or band-pass filtering can be conveniently  
performed between the mixer outputs (IMXO/QMXO) and the  
input to the baseband amplifiers. Because the output impedance  
of the mixer is low (roughly 3 ) and the input impedance of  
the baseband amplifier is high, it is not practical to design a  
filter which is reactively matched to these impedances. An LC  
filter can be matched by placing a series resistor at the mixer  
output and a shunt resistor (terminated to VVREF) at the input to  
the baseband amplifier.

Because the mixer output drive level is limited to a maximum cur-  
rent of 1.5 mA, the characteristic impedance of the filter should be  
greater than 50 , especially if larger signal swings are to be achieved.

100  
Figure 8 shows the schematic for a 100 , fourth order elliptic  
low-pass filter with a 3 dB cutoff frequency of 20 MHz. Source  
and load impedances of approximately 100 ensure that the  
filter sees a matched source and load. This also ensures that the  
mixer output is driving an overall load of 200 . Note that the  
shunt termination resistor is tied to VREF and not to ground.  
The frequency response and group delay of this filter are shown  
in Figures 9 and 10.  
FREQUENCY MHz

Filter  
If the VGA is operating in AGC mode, the detector input (VDT1/  
VDT2) can be tied either to the input or output of the filter.  
Connecting the detector input to the input of the filter (i.e.,  
IMXO and QMXO) will cause the VGA leveling point to be  
determined by the composite of the wanted signal and any unfiltered  
components such as blockers or signal harmonics. Connecting  
VDT1/VDT2 to the outputs of the filters ensures that the leveling  
point of the AGC circuit is based upon the amplitude of the  
filtered output only. The latter option is more desirable as it  
results in a more constant baseband output. However, when  
using this method, the leveling point of the AGC should be set  
so that out-of-band blockers do not overdrive the mixer output.

Feedthrough of the LO signal to the RF input port results in  
self-mixing of the LO signal. This produces a dc component  
at the mixer output that is frequency-dependent.

The AD8347 includes an internal circuit which actively nulls  
out any dc offsets that appear at the mixer output. The dc-bias

level of the mixer output (which should ideally be equal to VVREF  
the bias level for the baseband sections of the chip) is continually  
being compared to VVREF. Any differences between the mixer  
output level and VVREF, will force a compensating voltage on to  
the mixer output.

The time constant of this correction loop is set by the capacitors  
which are connected to pins IOFS and QOFS (each output can
