APPLICATIONS
Multiband/multistandard cellular base station diversity receivers
Wideband radio link diversity downconverters
Multimode cellular extenders and picocells
IF buffer amplifiers follow the passive mixer cores, yielding
typical power conversion gains of 9.0 dB, and can be matched
to a wide range of output impedances.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADRF6614 is a dual radio frequency (RF) mixer and
intermediate frequency (IF) amplifier with an integrated phase-
locked loop (PLL) and voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs). The
ADRF6614 uses revolutionary broadband square wave limiting
local oscillator (LO) amplifiers to achieve a wideband RF bandwidth
of 700 MHz to 3000 MHz. Unlike narrow-band sine wave LO
amplifier solutions, the LO can be applied above or below the RF
input over a wide bandwidth. Energy storage elements are not
utilized in the LO amplifier, thus dc current consumption also
decreases with decreasing LO frequency.
The PLL architecture supports both integer-N and fractional-N
operation and can generate the entire LO frequency range of
200 MHz to 2700 MHz using an external reference input frequency
anywhere in the range of 12 MHz to 320 MHz. An external loop
filter provides flexibility in trading off phase noise vs. acquisition
time. To reduce fractional spurs in fractional-N mode, a Σ-Δ
modulator controls the post VCO-programmable divider. The
device integrates six VCO cores, four of which provide complete
frequency coverage between 200 MHz and 2700 MHz, and meet
the GSM phase noise requirements in the 800 MHz and 900 MHz
bands. Two additional GSM only cores enable the ADRF6614 to
meet the GSM phase noise requirements in the digital cellular
system 1800 MHz (DCS1800) and personal communications
service 1900 MHz (PCS1900) bands.
The ADRF6614 utilizes highly linear, doubly balanced passive
mixer cores with integrated RF and LO balancing circuits to
allow single-ended operation. Integrated RF baluns allow optimal
performance over the 700 MHz to 3000 MHz RF input frequency.
The balanced passive mixer arrangement provides outstanding LO
to RF and LO to IF leakages, excellent RF to IF isolation, and
excellent intermodulation performance over the full RF bandwidth.
All features of the ADRF6614 are controlled via a 3-wire SPI,
resulting in optimum performance and minimum external
components.
The balanced mixer cores provide extremely high input linearity,
allowing the device to be used in demanding wideband applications
where in-band blocking signals may otherwise result in the degra-
dation of dynamic range. Noise performance under blocking is
comparable to narrow-band passive mixer designs. High linearity
The ADRF6614 is fabricated using a BiCMOS, high performance
IC process. The device is available in a 7 mm × 7 mm, 48-lead
LFCSP package and operates over a −40°C to +85°C temperature
range. An evaluation board is available.

ADRF6614
Data Sheet
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADRF6614 consists of two primary components: the RF
subsystem and the LO subsystem. The combination of design,
process, and packaging technology allows the functions of these
subsystems to be integrated into a single die, using mature
packaging and interconnection technologies to provide a high
performance device with excellent electrical, mechanical, and
thermal properties. The wideband frequency response and flexible
frequency programming simplifies the receiver design, saves
on-board space, and minimizes the need for external components.
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) input while providing optimum
second-order intermodulation suppression. The differential output
impedance of the IF amplifier is approximately 200 Ω. If operation
in a 50 Ω system is desired, the output can be transformed to 50 Ω
by using a 4:1 transformer or an LC impedance matching network.
EXTERNAL LO GENERATION
The ADRF6614 LO can be generated by an externally applied
source or by using the internal PLL synthesizer. To select the
external LO mode, write 011 to Register 0x22, Bits[2:0] and apply
the differential LO signal to Pin 4 (EXTVCOIN+) and Pin 5
(EXTVCOIN−).
The RF subsystem consists of an integrated, tunable, low loss RF
balun, a double balanced, passive MOSFET mixer, a tunable sum
termination network, and an IF amplifier.
Internal dividers allow the externally applied LO signal to be
divided before this signal arrives at the mixer LO input. The
divider value is set by Register 0x22, Bits[5:3] and has possible
values of 1, 2, 4, and 8. With the divider set to 1, the externally
applied LO input frequency range is 250 MHz to 2850 MHz.
When using a divider value of other than 1, the maximum
externally applied LO frequency is 5700 MHz.
The LO subsystem consists of a multistage, limiting LO amplifier.
The purpose of the LO subsystem is to provide a large, fixed ampli-
tude, balanced signal to drive the mixer independent of the level of
the LO input. A schematic of the device is shown in Figure 110.
RF SUBSYSTEM
The single-ended, 50 Ω RF input is internally transformed to a
balanced signal using a tunable, low loss, unbalanced to balanced
(balun) transformer. This transformer is made possible by an
extremely low loss metal stack, which provides both excellent
balance and dc isolation for the RF port. Although the port can
be dc connected, it is recommended to use a blocking capacitor
to avoid running excessive dc current through the device. The RF
balun can easily support an RF input frequency range of 700 MHz
to 3000 MHz. This balun is tuned over the frequency range by a SPI
controlled switched capacitor network at the output of the RF balun.
The external LO input pins present a broadband differential 50 Ω
input impedance. The EXTVCOIN+ and EXTVCOIN− input
pins must be ac-coupled. When not in use, EXTVCOIN+ and
EXTVCOIN− can be left unconnected.
INTERNAL LO GENERATION
Reference Input Circuitry
The ADRF6614 includes an on-chip PLL for LO synthesis. The
PLL, shown in Figure 109, consists of a reference input and input
dividers, a PFD, a charge pump, VCOs, and a programmable
fractional/integer divider with a 2× prescaler.
The resulting balanced RF signal is applied to a passive mixer that
commutates the RF input in accordance with the output of the LO
subsystem. The passive mixer is a balanced, low loss switch that adds
minimum noise to the frequency translation. The only noise con-
tribution from the mixer is due to the resistive loss of the switches,
which is in the order of a few ohms.
The reference path takes in a reference clock and divides it by a
factor of 1 to 8191 before passing it to the PFD. The PFD compares
this signal to the divided down signal from the VCO. Depending
on the PFD polarity selected, the PFD sends an up or down signal
to the charge pump if the VCO signal is slow or fast compared to
the reference frequency. The charge pump sends a current pulse
to the off-chip loop filter to increase or decrease the tuning
voltage (VCOVTUNE).
The IF amplifier is a balanced feedback design that simultaneously
provides the gain, noise figure, and input impedance required to
achieve the overall performance. The balanced open-collector
output of the IF amplifier, with an impedance modified by the
feedback within the amplifier, permits the output to be connected
directly to a high impedance filter, a differential amplifier, or an

In-band (within the band of the loop filter) phase noise perfor-
mance is typically limited by the reference source. Due to the
inherent phase noise reduction when performing frequency
division, improved in-band phase noise performance can be
achieved with higher reference divide values. However, the
divide chain adds its own small amount of phase noise; thus,
there is a limit on how much improvement can be gained by
increasing the divider value.

Loop Filters
Defining a loop filter for the ADRF6614 depends on several
dynamic: the PLL REFIN and PFD frequency and desired PFD
and fractional spur levels. Higher reference and PFD frequencies
spread the PFD spurs over a wider bandwidth (wider separation
between spurs), but also lead to higher levels of spurs coupling
through the reference divider chain. Lower reference and PFD
frequencies lower the spacing between PFD spurs, but the spur
levels can be significantly improved by using lower frequencies.
At lower PFD frequencies, it may also be possible to achieve the
desired synthesizer frequency step size using the integer divider
mode, therefore eliminating the risk of fractional spurs. Table 17
shows the recommended loop filter components and dynamic
loop settings when using integer mode and PFD frequencies at
less than 10 MHz.

VCOs and Dividers
The ADRF6614 has six internal VCOs. Considering the range of
these VCOs, the fixed 2× prescaler after the VCO, and the LO_DIV
(1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32) range, the total LO range allows an RF
generation of 200 MHz to 2700 MHz.

If a smaller frequency step size is desired, the ADRF6614 can be
used in fractional mode. The 16-bit FRAC_DIV and MOD_DIV
values available in the ADRF6614 mean that small step sizes
can be achieved with high PFD frequencies. PFD spurs may be
higher in amplitude, but are spaced further apart. Fractional
spurs may be present as well.

For the VCO_0, VCO_1, VCO_2, and VCO_3 selections, it is
required to set VTUNE_DAC_SLOPE (Register 0x49, Bits[13:9]) =
11d, VTUNE_DAC_OFFSET (Register 0x49, Bits[8:0]) = 184d,
VCO_LDO_R2 (Register 0x22, Bits[11:8]) = 0d, and VCO_
LDO_R4 (Register 0x22, Bits[15:12]) = 5d. For VCO_4 and
VC0_5 selections, the required settings are VTUNE_DAC_
SLOPE (Register 0x49, Bits[13:9]) = 9d, VTUNE_DAC_OFFSET
(Register 0x49, Bits[8:0]) = 171d, VCO_LDO_R2 (Register 0x22,
Bits[11:8]) = 2d, and VCO_LDO_R4 (Register 0x22, Bits[15:12]) =
10d. In transitioning from a GSM VCO (VCO_4 and VCO_5)
to an octave VCO, the LDO settings must be changed before
changing the VCO selection.
The lock detect signal is available as one of the selectable outputs
through the MUXOUT pin; a logic high indicates that the loop is
locked. The MUXOUT pin is controlled by the REF_MUX_SEL bits
(Register 0x21, Bits[14:13]); the PLL lock detect signal is the default
configuration.
To ensure that the PLL locks to the desired frequency, follow
the proper write sequence of the PLL registers. The PLL
registers must be configured accordingly to achieve the
desired frequency, and the last writes must be to Register 0x02
(INT_DIV in Table 26), Register 0x03 (FRAC_DIV in Table 26),
or Register 0x04 (MOD_DIV in Table 26). When one of these
registers is programmed, an internal VCO calibration is
initiated, which is the last step in locking the PLL.
The N-divider divides down the differential VCO signal to the PFD
frequency. The N-divider can be configured for fractional mode or
integer mode by addressing the DIV_MODE bit (Register 0x02,
Bit 15). The default configuration is set for fractional mode.
The time it takes to lock the PLL after the last register is written
can be broken down into two parts: VCO band calibration and
loop settling.
The following equations can be used to determine the N value and
the PLL frequency:
After the last register is written, the PLL automatically performs
a VCO band calibration to choose the correct VCO band. This
calibration takes approximately 5120 PFD cycles. For a 40 MHz
fVCO
fPFD
=
f
PFD, this corresponds to 128 µs. After calibration is complete, the
2 × N
feedback action of the PLL causes the VCO to lock eventually to
the correct frequency. The speed with which this locking occurs
depends on the nonlinear cycle slipping behavior, as well as the
small signal settling of the loop. For an accurate estimation of
the lock time, download the ADIsimPLL™ tool, which correctly
captures these effects. In general, higher bandwidth loops tend
to lock faster than lower bandwidth loops.

To access the LO signal going to the mixer core through the
LOOUT+ and LOOUT− pins (Pin 13 and Pin 14), enable the
LO_DRV_EN bit in Register 0x01, Bit 7. This setting offers direct
monitoring of the LO signal to the mixer for debug purposes; or the
LO signal can be used to daisy-chain many devices synchronously.
One ADRF6614 can serve as the master where the LO signal is
sourced, and the subsequent slave devices share the same LO signal
from the master. This flexibility substantially eases the LO
requirements of a system with multiple LOs.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
recommended to ac couple the RF and LO input ports to
prevent nonzero dc voltages from damaging the RF balun or LO
input circuit. A RFIN capacitor value of 22 pF is recommended.
The ADRF6614 mixer is designed to downconvert radio
frequencies (RF) primarily between 700 MHz and 3000 MHz to
lower intermediate frequencies (IF) between 40 MHz to 500 MHz.

figure. The contour plot is located directly underneath the surface
plot. The best approach for reading the figure is to localize the
peaks on the surface plot, which indicate maximum IIP3, and to
follow the same color pattern to the contour plot to determine the
optimized IFA main bias and linearity bias settings.
35
RF INPUT BALUN INSERTION LOSS OPTIMIZATION
At lower input frequencies, more capacitance is needed. This
increase is achieved by programming higher codes into
BAL_COUT. At high frequencies, less capacitance is required;
therefore, lower BAL_COUT codes are appropriate.
As shown in Figure 112 and Figure 113, this tuning range can
be further optimized by adding capacitance across the RF input
in conjunction with tuning BAL_COUT. This added capacitance
can help to increase the low frequency range of the device
significantly.

In applications in which performance is critical, the ADRF6614
offers IIP3 optimization. The IF amplifier bias current can be
reduced to trade performance vs. power consumption. This
tradeoff saves on the overall power at the expense of degraded
performance.

VGS PROGRAMMING
The ADRF6614 allows programmability for internal gate-to-
source voltages (VGS) for optimizing mixer performance over
the desired frequency bands. The ADRF6614 default VGS
setting is 0. Both channels of the ADRF6614 are programmed
together using the same VGS setting. Power conversion gain,
input IP3, input P1dB, and SSB noise figure can be optimized,
as shown in Figure 40, Figure 41, Figure 43, and Figure 44,
respectively.

LOW-PASS FILTER PROGRAMMING
The ADRF6614 allows programmability for the low-pass filter
terminating the mixer output. This filter blocks sum term mixing
products at the expense of some noise figure and gain and can
significantly increase input IP3. The ADRF6614 default LPF setting
is 0. Both channels of the ADRF6614 are programmed together
using the same LPF settings. Power conversion gain, input P1dB,
input IP3, and SSB noise figure can be optimized as shown in
Figure 42, Figure 45, Figure 46, and Figure 49, respectively.

ADRF6614
When using the VCO_4 or VCO_5 cores, it is required to
GSM MODE OF OPERATION
set VTUNE_DAC_SLOPE (Register 0x49, Bits[13:9]) = 9d,
VTUNE_DAC_OFFSET (Register 0x49, Bits[8:0]) = 171d,
VCO_LDO_R2 (Register 0x22, Bits[11:8]) = 2d, and VCO_
LDO_R4 (Register 0x22, Bits[15:12]) = 10d. In transitioning
from a GSM VCO (VCO_4 and VCO_5) to an octave VCO, the
LDO settings must be changed before changing the VCO
selection.
The ADRF6614 supports GSM phase noise specifications in
typical GSM bands such as the 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz,
and 1900 MHz. GSM phase noise performance in the 800 MHz
and 900 MHz bands is met by simply tuning the integrated
PLLVCO to the desired frequency.
Integrated VCO cores (VCO_4 and VCO_5) support GSM phase
noise performance in the 1800 MHz and 1900 MHz GSM bands.
To ensure that GSM phase noise performance is achieved when
using the ADRF6614 in 1800 MHz or 1900 MHz bands, select
the VCO_4 core by writing the VCO_SEL bits in the VCO_
CTRL1 register (Register 0x22, Bits[2:0]) for a frequency range
of 1.525 GHz to 1.547 GHz, and the VCO_5 core for a frequency
range of 1.668 GHz to 1.708 GHz.
