GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The ADRF6510 is a matched pair of fully differential low noise  
and low distortion programmable filters and variable gain ampli-  
fiers (VGAs). Each channel is capable of rejecting large out-of-  
band interferers while reliably boosting the wanted signal, thus  
reducing the bandwidth and resolution requirements on the  
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The excellent matching  
between channels and their high spurious-free dynamic range  
over all gain and bandwidth settings makes the ADRF6510  
ideal for quadrature-based (IQ) communication systems with  
dense constellations, multiple carriers, and nearby interferers.  
The variable gain amplifiers that follow the filters provide 50 dB  
of continuous gain control with a slope of 30 mV/dB. The output  
buffers provide a differential output impedance of 20 ꢀ that is  
capable of driving 1.5 V p-p into 1 kꢀ loads. The output common-  
mode voltage defaults to VPS/2, but it can be programmed via the  
VOCM pin. The built-in dc offset correction loop can be disabled  
if dc-coupled operation is desired. The high-pass corner frequency  
is defined by external capacitors on the OFS1 and OFS2 pins.  
The ADRF6510 operates from a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply and  
consumes a maximum supply current of 258 mA when pro-  
grammed to the highest bandwidth setting. When disabled, it  
consumes 2 mA. The ADRF6510 is fabricated in an advanced  
silicon-germanium BiCMOS process and is available in a  
32-lead, exposed paddle LFCSP. Performance is specified over  
the −40°C to +85°C temperature range.  
The filters provide a six-pole Butterworth response with 0.5 dB  
corner frequencies programmable through the SPI port from  
1 MHz to 30 MHz in 1 MHz steps. The preamplifier that precedes  
the filters offers a pin-programmable option of either 6 dB or  
12 dB of gain. The preamplifier sets a differential input imped-  
ance of 400 Ω and has a common-mode voltage that defaults  
to 2.1 V but can be driven from 1.5 V to 2.5 V.

THEORY OF OPERATION  
The ADRF6510 consists of a matched pair of buffered, program-  
mable filters followed by variable gain amplifiers and output  
ADC drivers. The block diagram of a single channel is shown  
in Figure 42. The programmability of the bandwidth and of the  
pre- and post-filtering gain offers great flexibility when coping  
with signals of varying levels in the presence of noise and large,  
undesired signals nearby. The entire differential signal chain is  
dc-coupled with flexible interfaces at the input and output. The  
bandwidth and gain setting controls for the two channels are  
shared, ensuring close matching of their magnitude and phase  
responses. The ADRF6510 can be fully disabled through the  
ENBL pin.  
band rejection, ripple, and group delay. The 0.5 dB bandwidth is  
programmed from 1 MHz to 30 MHz in 1 MHz steps via the serial  
programming interface (SPI) as described in the Programming  
the Filters section.  
The filters are designed so that the Butterworth prototype filter  
shape and group delay responses vs. frequency are retained for  
any bandwidth setting. Figure 43 and Figure 44 illustrate the  
ideal six-pole Butterworth gain and group delay responses,  
respectively. The group delay, τg, is defined as  
τg = −∂φ/∂ω  
where:  
φ is the phase in radians.  
ω = 2πf is the frequency in radians/second.

Note that for a frequency scaled filter prototype, the absolute

for a 2 MHz setting.

Filtering and amplification are fundamental operations in any  
signal processing system. Filtering is necessary to select the  
intended signal while rejecting out-of-band noise and interferers.  
Amplification increases the level of the desired signal to overcome  
noise added by the system. When used together, filtering and  
amplification can extract a low level signal of interest in the  
presence of noise and out-of-band interferers. Such analog  
signal processing alleviates the requirements on the analog,  
mixed signal, and digital components that follow.

INPUT BUFFERS  
FREQUENCY (Hz)  
The input buffers provide a convenient interface to the sensitive  
filter sections that follow. They set a differential input impedance  
of 400 ꢀ and sit at a nominal common-mode voltage of VPS/2.  
The inputs can be dc-coupled or ac-coupled. If using direct  
dc-coupling, the common-mode voltage, VCM, can range from  
1.5 V to 3 V. A current flows into or out of the input pins to  
accommodate the difference in common-mode voltages. The  
current into each pin is given by

The input buffers in both channels can be configured simulta-

configured for a 6 dB gain, the buffers support up to a 1 V p-p  
differential input level with >50 dBc harmonic distortion. For  
a 12 dB gain setting, the buffers support 0.5 V p-p inputs.

ADRF6510  
Data Sheet  
The corner frequency of the filters is defined by RC products,  
which can vary by 30ꢁ in a typical process. Therefore, all the  
parts are factory calibrated for corner frequency, resulting in  
a residual 10ꢁ corner frequency variation over the −40°C to  
+85°C temperature range. Although absolute accuracy requires  
calibration, the matching of RC products between the pair of  
channels is better than 1ꢁ by observing careful design and  
layout practices. Calibration and excellent matching ensure  
that the magnitude and group delay responses of both channels  
track together, a critical requirement for digital IQ-based  
communication systems.  
DC OFFSET COMPENSATION LOOP  
In many signal processing applications, no information is  
carried in the dc level. In fact, dc voltages and other low  
frequency disturbances can often dominate the intended signal  
and consume precious dynamic range in the analog path and  
bits in the data converters. These dc voltages can be present  
with the desired input signal or can be generated inside the  
signal path by inherent dc offsets or other unintended signal-  
dependent processes such as self-mixing or rectification.  
Because the ADRF6510 is fully dc-coupled, it may be necessary  
to remove these offsets to realize the maximum signal-to-noise  
ratio (SNR). This can be achieved with ac-coupling capacitors  
at the input and output pins, but that requires large values  
because the impedances are fairly low, and high-pass corners  
may need to be <10 Hz in some cases. To address the issue of dc  
offsets, the ADRF6510 provides an offset correction loop that  
nulls the output differential dc level as shown in Figure 46. If  
the correction loop is not required, it can be disabled through  
the OFDS pin.  
VARIABLE GAIN AMPLIFIERS (VGAs)  
The VGAs are implemented using the Analog Devices, Inc.,  
patented X-AMP® architecture, consisting of a tapped 50 dB  
attenuator followed by a fixed-gain amplifier. The X-AMP archi-  
tecture generates a linear-in-dB monotonic gain response with  
low ripple. The gain is controlled through the high impedance  
GAIN pin with an accurate slope of 30 mV/dB. The gain response  
shown in Figure 45 shows the GAIN pin voltage range and the  
absence of gain foldback at high VGAIN

The offset control loop creates a high-pass corner, fHP, that  
is superimposed on the normal Butterworth filter response.  
Typically, fHP is many orders of magnitude lower than the lower  
programmed filter bandwidth so that there is no interaction  
between them. Setting fHP is accomplished with capacitors,

The low impedance (20 ꢀ) output buffers of the ADRF6510 are  
designed to drive either ADC inputs or subsequent amplifier stages.  
They are capable of delivering up to 4 V p-p composite two-tone  
signals into 500 ꢀ differential loads with >60 dBc IM3. The  
output common-mode voltage defaults to VPS/2, but it can be  
adjusted from 1.5 V to 3.0 V without loss of drive capability by  
presenting the VOCM pin with the desired common-mode  
voltage. The high input impedance of VOCM allows the ADC  
reference output to be connected directly. Even though the  
signal path is fully dc-coupled and the dc offset compensation  
loop can remove undesired dc offsets (see the DC Offset  
Compensation Loop section), the output buffers can be ac-  
coupled to the next stage by properly selecting the coupling  
capacitors according to the load impedance.

)

Note that fHP increases in proportion to the gain. For this  
reason, COFS should be chosen at the highest operating gain  
to guarantee that fHP is always below the maximum limit  
required by the system.

NOISE CHARACTERISTICS  
The 0.5 dB corner frequencies for both filters are programmed  
simultaneously through the SPI port. A 5-bit register stores the  
codes for corner frequencies of 1 MHz through 30 MHz (see  
Table 4). The SPI protocol not only allows frequency codes to  
be written to the DATA pin but also allows the stored code to  
be read back from the SDO pin.  
The output noise behavior of the ADRF6510 depends on the gain  
and bandwidth settings. Both the filter sections and the VGAs  
contribute to the total noise at the output. The filter contributes  
a noise spectral density profile that is flat at low frequencies, peaks  
near the corner frequency, and then rolls off as the filter poles  
roll off the gain. The magnitude of the noise spectral density,  
expressed in nV/√Hz, varies inversely with the square root of  
the bandwidth setting, resulting in a total integrated noise in  
nV that is nearly constant with bandwidth setting.  
The latch enable (LE) pin must first go to a Logic 0 for a read or  
write cycle to begin. On the next rising edge of the clock (CLK),  
a Logic 1 on the DATA pin initiates a write cycle, whereas a  
Logic 0 on the DATA pin initiates a read cycle. In a write cycle,  
the next five CLK rising edges latch the frequency code, LSB  
first. When LE goes high, the write cycle is completed and the  
frequency code is presented to the filter. In a read cycle, the next  
five CLK falling edges present the stored frequency code, LSB  
first. When LE goes high, the read cycle is completed. Detailed  
timing diagrams are shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3.  
The X-AMP type VGAs used in the ADRF6510 contribute  
a fixed noise spectral density to the output, independent of  
the gain setting, of −130 dBV/√Hz, which is equivalent to  
316 nV/√Hz. Although the VGA noise contribution to the  
output is fixed, the gain of the VGA controls the relative  
contribution of the filter noise.  
Figure 47 and Figure 48 show the total output noise spectral  
density vs. frequency for different bandwidth settings. At low  
values of VGA gain, the noise at the output is the flat spectral  
density contributed by the VGA because the filter noise is sup-  
pressed by the VGA attenuation. As the gain increases, more  
of the filter noise appears at the output. Because the filter noise  
increases at lower bandwidth settings, it overwhelms the VGA  
noise floor. In either case, the noise density asymptotically  
approaches the −130 dBV/√Hz limit set by the VGA at the  
highest frequencies. For other values of VGA gain and band-  
width setting, the detailed shape of the noise spectral density  
changes.

To distinguish and quantify the distortion performance of the  
input section, two different IP3 specifications are presented.  
The first is called in-band IP3 and refers to a two-tone test  
where the signals are inside the filter bandwidth. This is exactly  
the same figure of merit familiar to communications engineers  
in which the third-order intermodulation level, IM3, is  
measured.

To quantify the effect of out-of-band signals, a new out-of-band  
(OOB) IIP3 figure of merit is introduced. This test also involves  
a two-tone stimulus; however, the two tones are placed out-of-  
band so that the lower IM3 product lands in the middle of the  
filter pass band. At the output, only the IM3 product is visible  
because the original two tones are filtered out. To calculate the  
OOB IP3 at the input, the IM3 level is referred to the input by  
the overall gain. The OOB IIP3 allows the user to predict the  
impact of out-of-band blockers or interferers at an arbitrary  
signal level on the in-band performance. The ratio of the  
desired input signal level to the input-referred IM3 at a given  
blocker level represents a signal-to-distortion limit imposed by  
the out-of-band signals.

Note that the noise spectral density outside the filter bandwidth  
is limited by the fixed VGA output noise. It may be necessary to  
use an external, fixed-frequency, passive filter prior to an analog-  
to-digital conversion to prevent noise aliasing from degrading  
the signal-to-noise ratio. The higher the sampling rate relative  
to the maximum ADRF6510 corner frequency setting to be used,  
the lower the order of the external filter.  
MAXIMIZING THE DYNAMIC RANGE  
The role of the ADRF6510 is to increase the level of a variable  
in-band signal while minimizing out-of-band signals. Ideally,  
this is achieved without degrading the SNR of the incoming  
signal or introducing distortion to the incoming signal.  
DISTORTION CHARACTERISTICS  
The distortion performance of the ADRF6510 is similar to its  
noise performance. The filters and the VGAs contribute to the  
overall distortion and signal handling capabilities. Furthermore,  
the front end must also cope with out-of-band signals that can be  
larger than the in-band signals. These out-of-band signals are  
filtered before reaching the VGA. It is important to understand  
the signals presented to the ADRF6510 and to match these  
signals with the input and output characteristics of the part.  
The first goal is to maximize the output signal swing, which can  
be defined by the ADC input range or the input signal capacity  
of the next analog stage. For the complex waveforms often encoun-  
tered in communication systems, the peak-to-average ratio, or  
crest factor, must be considered when choosing the peak-to-peak  
output. From the chosen output signal and the maximum gain  
of the ADRF6510, the minimum input level can be defined.  
Lower signal levels do not yield the maximum output and suffer  
a greater degradation in SNR.  
When the gain is low, the distortion is typically limited by the  
input section because the output is not driven to its maximum  
capacity. When the gain is high, the distortion is likely limited  
by the output section because the input is not driven to its  
maximum capacity. An exception to this is when the input is  
driven with a small desired signal in combination with a large  
out-of-band signal. In this case, the out-of-band signal may  
drive the input to distort. As long as the input is not overdriven,  
the out-of-band signal is removed by the filter. A high VGA  
gain is still needed to raise the small desired signal to a higher  
level at the output. The overall distortion introduced by the part  
depends on the input drive level, including the out-of-band  
signals, and the desired output signal level.  
As the input signal level increases, the VGA gain is reduced from  
its maximum gain point to maintain the desired fixed output  
level. The output noise, initially dominated by the filter, follows  
the gain reduction, yielding a progressively better SNR. At some  
point, the VGA gain drops sufficiently that the constant VGA  
noise becomes dominant, resulting in a constant SNR from that  
point. From the perspective of SNR alone, the maximum input  
level is reached when the VGA reaches its minimum gain.  
Distortion must also be considered when maximizing the dynamic  
range. At low and moderate signal levels, the output distortion  
is constant and assumed to be adequate for the selected output  
level. At some point, the input signal becomes large enough that  
distortion at the input limits the system. The maximum tolerable  
input signal depends on whether the input distortion becomes  
unacceptably large or the minimum gain is reached.  
As noted in the Input Buffers section, the input section can  
handle a total signal level of 1 V p-p for a 6 dB preamplifier and  
500 mV p-p for a 12 dB preamplifier with >50 dBc harmonic  
distortion. This includes both in-band and out-of-band signals.

The most challenging scenario in terms of dynamic range is the  
presence of a large out-of-band blocker accompanying a weaker  
in-band wanted signal. In this case, the maximum input level is  
dictated by the blocker and its inclination to cause distortion.  
After filtering, the weak wanted signal must be amplified to the  
desired output level, possibly requiring maximum gain. Both  
the distortion limits associated with the blocker at the input and  
the SNR limits created by the weaker signal and higher gains are  
present simultaneously. Furthermore, not only does the blocker  
scenario degrade the dynamic range but it also reduces the  
range of input signals that can be handled because a larger part  
of the gain range is used to simply extract the weak desired  
signal from the stronger blocker.  
and quadrature (Q) sinusoidal carriers. Both the baseband and  
modulated signals appear quite complex in the time domain with  
dramatic peaks and valleys. In a typical receiver, the goal is to  
recover the pair of quadrature baseband signals in the presence  
of noise and interfering signals after quadrature demodulation.  
In the process of filtering out-of-band noise and unwanted inter-  
ferers and restoring the levels of the wanted I and Q baseband  
signals, it is critical to retain their gain and phase integrity over  
the bandwidth.  
The ADRF6510 delivers flat in-band gain and group delay,  
consistent with a six-pole Butterworth prototype filter as  
described in the Programmable Filters section. Furthermore,  
careful design ensures excellent matching of these parameters  
between the I and Q channels. Although absolute gain flatness  
and group delay can be corrected with digital equalization,  
mismatch introduces quadrature errors and intersymbol inter-  
ference that degrade bit error rates in digital communication  
systems.  
KEY PARAMETERS FOR QUADRATURE-BASED  
RECEIVERS  
The majority of digital communication receivers makes use of  
quadrature signaling, in which bits of information are encoded  
onto pairs of baseband signals that then modulate in-phase (I)

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
BASIC CONNECTIONS  
ERROR VECTOR MAGNITUDE (EVM) PERFORMANCE  
Figure 49 shows the basic connections for operating the  
ADRF6510. A voltage from 4.75 V to 5.25 V should be applied  
to the supply pins. Each supply pin should be decoupled with at  
least one low inductance, surface-mount ceramic capacitor of  
0.1 μF placed as close as possible to the device.  
Error vector magnitude (EVM) is a measure used to quantify  
the performance of a digital radio transmitter or receiver by  
measuring the fidelity of the digital signal transmitted or  
received. Various imperfections in the link, such as magnitude  
and phase imbalance, noise, and distortion, cause the constel-  
lation points to deviate from their ideal locations.  
The input buffers provide an interface to the sensitive filter  
sections that follow. They set a differential input impedance  
of 400 ꢀ and sit at a nominal common-mode voltage of VPS/2.  
The inputs can be dc-coupled or ac-coupled. If using direct  
dc-coupling, the common-mode voltage, VCM, can range from  
1.5 V to 3 V.  
In general, a receiver exhibits three distinct EVM limitations  
vs. received input signal power. As signal power increases, the  
distortion components increase.  
At large enough signal levels, where the distortion compo-  
nents due to the harmonic nonlinearities in the device  
dominate, EVM degrades as signal levels increase.  
At medium signal levels, where the signal chain behaves  
in a linear manner and the signal is well above any notable  
noise contributions, EVM has a tendency to reach an  
optimal level determined dominantly by either the  
quadrature accuracy and I/Q gain match of the signal  
chain or the precision of the test equipment.  
The output buffers of the ADRF6510 are low impedance  
(~20 ꢀ) designed to drive either ADC inputs or subsequent  
amplifier stages. The output common-mode voltage defaults to  
VPS/2 but can be adjusted from 1.5 V to 3.0 V without loss of  
drive capability by presenting the VOCM pin with the desired  
common-mode voltage. The high input impedance of VOCM  
allows the ADC reference output to be connected directly.  
As signal levels decrease, such that noise is a major con-  
tributor, EVM performance vs. the signal level exhibits  
a decibel-for-decibel degradation with decreasing signal  
levels. At these lower signal levels, where noise is the  
dominant limitation, decibel EVM is directly proportional  
to the SNR.  
To enable the ADRF6510, the ENBL pin must be pulled high.  
Taking ENBL low disables the device, reducing current con-  
sumption to approximately 2 mA at ambient temperature.

ADRF6510  
EVM  
While low-pass filtering with the ADRF6510 to reject out-of-  
band undesired signals (blockers), more rejection of the  
undesired signals may be required. If the filter bandwidth is set  
to approximately the same as the signal bandwidth, the user  
may trade some degradation of EVM for a gain in rejection of  
the out-of-band undesired signals, by lowering the low-pass  
filter bandwidth corner (for example, by 1 MHz).  
The basic setup to test EVM for the ADRF6510 consisted of an  
Agilent E4438C used as a RF signal source with an Agilent  
InfiniiVision DSO7104B oscilloscope in conjunction with the  
Agilent 89600 VSA software to sample the signal and compute  
the EVM. The E4438C RF output drove the RF port of the  
ADL5380 IQ demodulater, which in turn drove the baseband  
differential inputs of the ADRF6510.  
Lowering the filter bandwidth to gain more rejection works  
progressively better the lower the signal and filter bandwidths  
are set to (see Figure 43). A 1 MHz change from 3 MHz filter  
bandwidth to 2 MHz filter bandwidth yields about 20 dB more  
rejection. Compare that to a 1 MHz change from 29 MHz filter  
band-width to 28 MHz filter bandwidth, which will yield about  
1 dB more in rejection.  
The I and Q outputs of the ADRF6510 were taken differentially  
into two AD8130 difference amplifiers to convert them into  
single-ended signals. The single-ended signals were connected  
to the input channels of the oscilloscope, which captured the  
modulated waveforms.  
An overall baseband EVM performance was measured on the  
ADRF6510. A modulation setting of 4 QAM and, unless  
otherwise noted, a 5 MHz symbol rate were used, with a pulse  
shaping filter alpha of 0.35. The analog gain of the ADRF6510  
was adjusted to maintain 1.5 V p-p into a 1 kꢀ differential load  
impedance. Figure 50 shows EVM vs. input power for three  
different IF frequencies. The input power is the integrated input  
power over the bandwidth of the modulated signal.  
Figure 51 shows that degradation of EVM as signal bandwidth  
(positive frequency only) is swept while keeping the filter  
bandwidth set to 5 MHz. Three different COFS capacitor values  
were used.

EVM of at least −40 dB over a 50 dB range.

EFFECT OF FILTER BANDWIDTH ON EVM  
Care should be taken when selecting the filter bandwidth. In  
a digital transceiver, the modulated signal is filtered by a pulse  
shaping filter (such as a root-raised cosine filter) at both the  
transmit and receive ends to guard against intersymbol inter-  
ference (ISI). If additional filtering of the modulated signal is  
done, the signal must be within the pass band of the filter. When  
the corner frequency of the ADRF6510 filter begins to encroach  
on the modulated signal, ISI is introduced and degrades EVM,  
which can lead to loss of signal lock.

ANTI-ALIASING FILTER  
Figure 52 shows EVM degradation as the signal level nears  
compression. At 2.25 V p-p the signal is already degraded a few  
decibels. When the output level is near the absolute limits of the  
output stage, the EVM becomes much more erratic over the RF  
input power level.  
The noise spectral density of the ADRF6510 outside the filter  
bandwidth is limited by the fixed VGA output noise. It may be  
necessary to use an external, fixed-frequency, passive filter prior  
to an analog-to-digital conversion to prevent noise aliasing from  
degrading the signal-to-noise ratio. As shown in Figure 47 and  
Figure 48, the noise density at higher frequencies tends to be  
flat, and any higher IF noise aliasing into the Nyquist zone has  
minimal effects.  
EFFECT OF COFS ON EVM  
When enabled, the dc offset compensation loop effectively  
nulls any information below the high-pass corner set by the  
C
OFS capacitor. However, loss of the low frequency information  
When designing an antialiasing filter, it is necessary to consider  
the overall source and load impedance presented by the  
ADRF6510 and the ADC input to design the filter network. The  
differential baseband output impedance of the ADRF6510 is  
20 ꢀ and is designed to drive a high impedance ADC input. It  
may be desirable to terminate the ADC input to a lower imped-  
ance by using a terminating resistor, such as 500 ꢀ. The  
terminating resistor helps to better define the input impedance  
at the ADC input at the cost of a slightly reduced gain.  
of the modulated signal can degrade the EVM in some cases.  
As the signal bandwidth becomes larger, the percentage of  
information that is corrupted by the high-pass corner becomes  
smaller. In such cases, it is important to select a COFS capacitor  
large enough to minimize the high-pass corner frequency,  
which prevents loss of information and degraded EVM.  
Figure 53 shows the effect of COFS values at a single signal  
bandwidth of 6.75 MHz = 1.35 × 5 MHz over input power.  
The order and type of filter network depend on the desired high  
frequency rejection required, the pass-band ripple, and the  
group delay. Filter design tables provide outlines for various  
filter types and orders, illustrating the normalized inductor and  
capacitor values for a 1 Hz cutoff frequency and 1 ꢀ load.  
Figure 54 shows that EVM can be improved by using a bigger  
COFS value and/or increasing the signal bandwidth. Increasing  
signal bandwidth will improve EVM to a point after which  
the bandwidth limitations of the source, the part, and/or the  
receiver will start to dominate and degrade EVM.

Data Sheet  
EVALUATION BOARD  
The ADRF6510 evaluation board is available with software  
control to program the filter bandwidth. It is a 4-layer board  
with split ground plane for analog and digital sections. Special  
care is taken to place the power decoupling capacitors close to  
the device pins. The board is designed for easy single-ended  
(through a Mini-Circuits® ADT8-1T+ 8:1 balun) or differential  
configuration for each channel.  
EVALUATION BOARD CONTROL SOFTWARE  
The ADRF6510 evaluation board is configured with a USB-  
friendly interface to program the filter bandwidth of the  
ADRF6510. The software GUI (see Figure 59) allows users to  
select a particular frequency to write to the device and also  
to read back data from the SDO pin that shows the currently  
programmed filter setting. The software setup files can be down-  
loaded from the ADRF6510 product page at www.analog.com.

T3 and T4 are 8:1 impedance ratio baluns to transform a 50 Ω, single-ended  
output into a 400 Ω balanced differential load. R19, R20, R35, R36, R41, and  
R42 are populated for appropriate balun interface. R7 to R14 are provided  
for generic placement of matching components. R7 to R10 are set to 300 Ω  
to present a 1 kΩ load (with the balun used) at the DUT output.  
C19 to C22 are used for ac coupling when differential outputs are used.  
C23 and C24 are balun decoupling capacitors. R21 to R24 and R37 to R40  
can be populated with 0 Ω, and the balun interfacing resistors can be  
removed to bypass T3 and T4 for differential interfacing.
