ADRF6655
The programmable divider is controlled by an Σ-Δ modulator
(SDM). The modulus of the SDM can be programmed between

1 and 2047.
The broadband, active mixer employs a bias adjustment to allow
for enhanced IP3 performance at the expense of increased supply
current. The mixer provides an input IP3 exceeding 25 dBm
with 12 dB single sideband NF under typical conditions. The IIP3
can be boosted to ~29 dBm with roughly 20 mA of additional
supplied current. The mixer provides a typical voltage conversion
gain of 6 dB with a 200 Ω differential IF output impedance. The
IF output can be externally matched to support upconversion over
a limited frequency range.
Input P1dB: 12 dBm
Input IP3: 29 dBm

40-lead 6 mm × 6 mm LFCSP
The ADRF6655 is fabricated using an advanced silicon-germanium
BiCMOS process. It is packaged in a 40-lead, exposed-paddle,
Pb-free, 6 mm × 6 mm LFCSP. Performance is specified over a
−40°C to +85°C temperature range.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADRF6655 is a high dynamic range active mixer with
integrated PLL and VCO. The synthesizer uses a programmable
integer-N/fractional-N PLL to generate a local oscillator input
to the mixer. The PLL reference input is nominally 20 MHz. The
reference input can be divided by or multiplied by and then
applied to the PLL phase detector. The PLL can support input
reference frequencies from 10 MHz to 160 MHz. The phase
detector output controls a charge pump whose output is integrated
in an off-chip loop filter. The loop filter output is then applied to an
integrated VCO. The VCO output at 2 × fLO is then applied to a local
oscillator (LO) divider as well as to a programmable PLL divider.

ADRF6655
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ADRF6655 can be subdivided into a PLL and VCO block
and a mixer block. A detailed circuit description for each block
follows.
The VCO operates at twice the LO frequency for improved
isolation. The nominal value of Kv is 75 MHz/V at the VCO
output. As the VCO band is changed from 0 to 63, the size of the
varactor is also changed, thus maintaining a roughly constant
Kv across the entire operating range.
PLL AND VCO BLOCK
The PLL and VCO block, shown in Figure 49, is made up of a
reference input block, a phase and frequency detector (PFD), a
charge pump, a VCO, and a divide-by-N modulus block. An
off-chip loop filter completes the loop.

The mixer portion of the ADRF6655, shown in Figure 51, consists
of an LO signal chain, an RF voltage-to-current (V-to-I) converter,
and a mixer core. The LO chain receives a signal from either the
internal VCO or an external LO source. This LO signal then passes
through a frequency divider, which can be set to divide-by-2
or divide-by-3, depending on the desired LO frequency. The
differential RF inputs are converted into currents by the V-to-I
converter and fed into the mixer core. A pair of 133 Ω pull-up
resistors are used to present a ~250 Ω source impedance at the
IF output.

ADRF6655 PLL BLOCK DIAGRAM
Figure 49. PLL and VCO Block
The VCO is implemented with a single core that consists of 64
overlapping bands, as shown in Figure 50. The correct band is
selected automatically by the VCO band calibration circuit when
Register R0, Register R1, or Register R2 is programmed. The
VCO band selection takes roughly 4000 PFD cycles. During
calibration, an internal mux is used to disconnect the VCO input
voltage from the VTUNE pin and apply an internal reference
voltage for calibration. When calibration is complete, the VCO
input voltage is reconnected to the VTUNE pin and normal
PLL operation resumes.
LO Signal Chain
The LO chain consists of a mux that selects between the internal
VCO and an external LO source. The LO signal can then be
divided by 2 or divided by 3, providing a wide range of LO
frequencies from 1050 MHz to 2300 MHz. A buffer then drives
this divided down signal to the mixer core. The LO signal can
also be observed via the LO I/O port when the internal VCO
is selected. When the external LO buffer is enabled, the supply
current and die temperature increase, resulting in a slight
degradation of RF performance. In normal operation mode,
the external LO buffer should be disabled to help minimize
power consumption and provide optimal RF performance.

V-to-I Converter
DIGITAL INTERFACES
The differential RF input signal is applied to a pair of resistively
degenerated common-emitter stages, which converts the
differential input voltage to output currents. The input stage also
provides 50 Ω termination to the RF input port. The linearity
of this V-to-I stage can be optimized for a given frequency with
Pin IP3SET at the expense of power dissipation and noise figure.
An additional way of improving linearity without affecting
power dissipation or noise figure is provided by the CDAC
signal controlled by serial port interface (SPI).
The ADRF6655 provides access to the many programmable
features available within the IC using a 3-wire SPI control
interface. The minimum delays and hold times are presented
in the timing diagram in Figure 2. The SPI interface provides
digital control of the internal PLL/VCO as well as several other
features related to the mixer core, on-chip referencing, and available
system monitoring functions. The MUXOUT pin provides access
to several output signals that can be selected via the SPI interface.
The available outputs are buffered, frequency-scaled versions of
the reference, a PLL lock-detect signal, and an internal voltage
that is proportional to the IC junction temperature. Details
regarding the register settings and initialization sequence are
included in the Register Structure section.
Mixer Core
The mixer core, based on the Gilbert cell design of four cross-
connected transistors, takes the currents from the V-to-I stage
and mixes them with the LO signal. This mixer core can be used
as a downconvert mixer as is or as an upconvert mixer with an
off-chip matching network for a given frequency range.

The ADRF6655 has several supply connections and on-board

using low inductance bypass capacitors located in close proximity
to the supply and reference pins of the ADRF6655. Specifically
Pin 1, Pin 2, Pin 9, Pin 10, Pin 17, Pin 22, Pin 27, and Pin 40
should be bypassed to ground using individual bypass capacitors.
Pin 9 is the supply used for the on-board VCO, and for best
phase noise performance, several bypass capacitors ranging
from 100 pF to 10 μF may help to improve phase noise

The ADRF6655 includes an on-board VCO and PLL for LO
synthesis. An external reference must be applied for the PLL to
operate. The external reference should be ac-coupled and provide a
~1 V p-p nominal input level at Pin 6. The reference is compared
to an internally divided version of the VCO output frequency to
create a charge pump error current to control and lock the VCO. The
charge pump output current is filtered and converted to a VTUNE
control voltage through the external loop filter. ADIsimPLL™
can be a helpful tool when designing the external charge pump
loop filter. The typical Kv of the VCO, the charge pump output
current magnitude, and PFD frequency should all be considered
when designing the loop filter. The charge pump current magnitude
can be set internally or with an external RSET resistor connected
to Pin 5 and ground, along with the internal digital settings
applied to the PLL (see the Register 4—Charge Pump, PFD, and
Reference Path Control section for more details).

OUTPUT MATCHING AND BIASING
2.1nH
The ADRF6655 output stage consists of collector connected
output transistors with on-board pull-up resistors. The output
transistors and pull-up network presents a 200 Ω differential
output impedance in parallel with a small amount of shunt
capacitance. The measured RC equivalent impedance of Pin 18
and Pin 19 is ~250 Ω//1.5 pF. This impedance needs to be taken
into consideration when designing the external output matching
network. In addition to matching the presented output source
impedance to the intended load impedance, it is important to
provide pull-up choke connections to the supply pins to allow
for dc current to directly supply the mixer output transistors.
The reactance of the pull-up chokes may need to be considered
when designing the output matching network. For convenience,
several output matching/bias networks are presented in Figure 53
through Figure 58 for reference.

The ADRF6655 uses a balanced 50 Ω input impedance to help
simplify external connections. For low loss interfacing, the driving
source should be transformed to present a balanced 50 Ω source
impedance. An appropriate 1:1 impedance ratio input balun should
be used when attempting to interface to an unbalanced 50 Ω
source. For input frequencies below ~1.5 GHz, the TC1-1-13M+
from Mini-Circuits or similar baluns should provide good return
loss and maximum power gain. For higher frequencies, baluns,
such as the TC1-1-43A+, are recommended for lowest insertion
loss. The ac coupling capacitors can be optimized with the balun to
provide optimum input match. A few examples are provided in
Figure 61 for a range of different IF output frequencies.

mixer input pins. In either case, the mixer input pins should be

ADRF6655
IP3SET LINEARIZATION FEATURE
CDAC LINEARIZATION FEATURE
The IP3SET pin (Pin 29) controls the overall current consumption
of the mixer core depending on the applied voltage. If left open,
the voltage on the IP3SET pin is ~2.3 V, and a typical input IP3 of
~25 dBm or higher can be expected across the operating frequency
range. As the IP3SET voltage is increased, the overall supply
current increases and the input IP3 can be improved from ~3 dB to
6 dB. For upconversion applications, an IP3SET voltage of ~3.2 V to
3.3 V results in very high output IP3 performance in excess of
30 dBm. Using an external resistor divider network connected
between VCC and GND, the IP3SET voltage can be derived.
Alternatively, the on-board 3.3 V LDO output (Pin 2) can be
used to derive the applied IP3SET voltage. However, it is
advisable to use good bypassing and a series inductor or ferrite
choke to ensure good high frequency isolation between Pin 1 and
Pin 29. If an auxiliary control DAC is available, the IP3SET pin can
be driven dynamically in applications where power levels are
changing over time, and it is desirable to conserve power at
lower input signal levels. Figure 62 and Figure 63 illustrate the
output linearity dependency on the IP3SET voltage. Note that
gain is independent of the IP3SET voltage.
In addition to the IP3SET broadband linearization solution, the
ADRF6655 also includes a special linearizer designed to provide
enhanced IP3 performance at higher input frequencies. At low
input frequencies, the CDAC setting offers very little influence
on input IP3, and a CDAC setting of 15 is usually recommended.
At high input frequencies, the CDAC setting can boost input
IP3 as much as 5 dB with essentially no increase in supplied
power. At a given input frequency, the ADRF6655 offers an
optimum CDAC setting to provide high input IP3 performance.
The recommended optimum CDAC setting vs. RF input frequency
is shown in Figure 64.

EXTERNAL LO INTERFACE
The ADRF6655 provides the option to use an external signal
source for the LO into the mixer. It is important to note that the
applied LO signal is divided by 2 or divided by 3 prior to the
actual mixer core within the ADRF6655. The divider is determined
by the register settings in LO path and mixer control register,
(see the Register 5—LO Path and Mixer Control section). The
LO input pins (Pin 37 and Pin 38) present a broadband balanced
50 Ω input interface similar to the input pins (Pin 25 and Pin 26).
The LOP and LON input pins should be dc blocked and driven
from a balanced 50 Ω source. When not in use, the LOP and
LON pins may be left unconnected.

USING AN EXTERNAL VCO
EXTERNAL VCO
VTUNE LINE
The ADRF6655 has the necessary provisions for interfacing an
external VCO. A high performance discrete VCO may be desirable
in applications that call for the very best phase noise performance.
The basic circuit connections for interfacing an external VCO
are included in Figure 65. It is important to select a VCO with a
frequency tuning voltage range that covers the available charge
pump output compliance range of 1 V to 2.8 V. The external VCO
waveform needs to pass through the on-chip divide-by-2/divide-
by-3 programmable dividers before reaching the mixer. As a result,
the VCO center frequency should be selected to be roughly 2×
or 3× the desired LO signal frequency. The available output power
for the selected VCO should be greater than −10 dBm to ensure
adequate signal levels into the mixer core. The charge pump loop
filter components should be designed to provide adequate phase
margin for the given KVCO tuning sensitivity of the selected VCO.
It is important to properly configure the digital registers for
external VCO operation. When using an external VCO, the
internal VCO should be disabled using DB17 in Register 6.
Other register programmable LDOs, including the VCO LDO
(DB18 in Register 6), should be enabled. For more information
on programming the ADRF6655, see the ADRF6655 Control
Software section.

ADRF6655 CONTROL SOFTWARE
The ADRF6655 can be controlled from most PCs that include
a parallel port output interface. A USB adapter board is also
available from Analog Devices, Inc., to allow for control from
PCs that do not have an accessible parallel port. The USB adapter
evaluation documentation and ordering information can be found
at www.analog.com by searching for EVAL-ADF4XXXZ-USB. The
basic user interfaces are depicted in Figure 66 and Figure 67.
After launching the software, the user is prompted to select a device
from the ADRF product family. Upon selecting the ADRF6655,
the main control interface should appear as shown in Figure 66.
The main control interface allows the user to configure the device
for various modes of operation. The internal synthesizer is
controlled by clicking on any of the numeric values listed in the
RF Section. Attempting to program the REF Input Frequency,
the PFD Frequency, the VCO Frequency [2×LO], or other
values in the RF section launches the Synthesizer Settings—
ADRF6655 Broadband Mixer control module depicted in
Figure 67. From the Synthesizer Settings control interface, the
user can enter the desired Local Oscillator Frequency (MHz),
Channel Step Resolution (kHz), and External Reference
Frequency (MHz). The user can also enable the LO output buffer
and divider options from this menu. After setting the desired
values, it is important to click Upload All Registers and
Windows for the new settings to take effect.

PLL LOOP FILTER DESIGN
Designing the external loop filter, which connects between the
charge pump output and VCO tuning control pin, is easy with
the help of ADIsimPLL. ADIsimPLL is a free software application
available from Analog Devices for designing PLL loop filters.
Several passive filter topologies are support in ADIsimPLL
along with the necessary component placements on the
evaluation board.
When designing a PLL loop filter, it is important to consider
settling time and phase noise requirements. Figure 68 provides
measured phase noise performance for a typical fast and slow
loop filter design. Note that the wider loop filter offers better
close-in phase noise but degraded phase noise at greater offset
frequencies. The narrow 1.5 kHz loop filter design provides the
best phase noise at 100 kHz and 1 MHz carrier offsets but with
the penalty of decreased frequency settling time and poorer
close-in performance.

ADRF6655
DEVICE PROGRAMMING
INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE
The device is programmed through a 3-pin SPI port. The timing
requirements for the SPI port are described in Figure 2. There
are eight programmable registers, each with 24 bits, controlling
the operation of the device. The register functions can be broken
down as follows:
To ensure proper power-up of the ADRF6655, it is important to
reset the PLL circuitry after the supply rail (VCC1, VCC2, VCCLO,
VCCV2I, and VCCMIX) has settled to 5 V 0.25 V. Resetting
the PLL ensures that the internal bias cells are properly configured
even under poor supply start-up conditions. To ensure that the
PLL is reset after power-up, the PLEN data bit (DB6) in Register
5 should be programmed to disable the PLL (PLEN = 0). After a
delay of >100 ms, Register 5 should be programmed to enable
the PLL (PLEN = 1). After this procedure, the registers should
be programmed as follows:
• Register 0—integer divide control
• Register 1—modulus divide control
• Register 2—fractional divide control
• Register 3—Σ-Δ modulator dither control
• Register 4—charge pump, PFD, and reference path control
• Register 5—LO path and mixer control
• Register 6—VCO controls and PLL enables
• Register 7—external VCO control
1. Register 7
2. Register 6
3. Register 4
4. Register 3
5. Register 2
6. Register 1
7. Delay >1 ms
8. Register 0
Note that the PLL has internal calibration that must run
whenever the device is programmed with a given frequency.
This calibration is automatically run whenever Register 0,
Register 1, or Register 2 is programmed. Software is available
from Analog Devices that allows easy programming from an
external PC. See the ADRF6655 Control Software section for
additional details.
When programming the frequency of the ADRF6655, normally
only Register 2, Register 1, and Register 0 are programmed. When
programming these registers, a short delay of >500 μs should be
placed before programming the last register in the sequence
(Register 0). This ensures that the VCO band calibration initiated
by the first two register writes has sufficient time to complete
before the final band calibration (for Register 0) is initiated.

Divide Mode
REGISTER 0—INTEGER DIVIDE CONTROL
Divide mode determines whether fractional mode or integer
mode is used. In integer mode, the RF VCO output frequency
(fVCO) is calculated by
With R0[2:0] set to 000, the on-chip integer divide control register
is programmed as shown in Figure 70.
Integer Divide Ratio
f
VCO = 2 × fPFD × (INT)
(2)
The integer divide ratio is used to set the INT value in Equation 1.
The INT, FRAC, and MOD values make it possible to generate
output frequencies that are spaced by fractions of the PFD
frequency. The VCO frequency (FVCO) equation is
where INT is the integer divide ratio value (21 to 123 in integer
mode).
f
VCO = 2 × fPFD × (INT + (FRAC/MOD))

detector.
INT is the preset integer divide ratio value (24 to 119 in
fractional mode).

The PFD phase offset multiplier (θPFD, OFS), which is set by Bit DB16
to Bit DB12 of Register 4, causes the PLL to lock with a nominally
fixed phase offset between the PFD reference signal and the
divided-down VCO signal. This phase offset is used to linearize
the PFD-to-CP transfer function and can improve fractional
spurs. The magnitude of the phase offset is determined by
REGISTER 4—CHARGE PUMP, PFD, AND
REFERENCE PATH CONTROL
With R4[2:0] set to 100, the on-chip charge pump, PFD, and
reference path control register is programmed as shown in
Figure 74.
The charge pump current is controlled by the base charge
pump current (ICP, BASE) and the value of the charge pump
current multiplier (ICP, MULT).
θPFD , OFS
ΔΦ [deg] = 22 .5
ICP , MULT
The base charge pump current can be set using an internal or
external resistor (according to DB18 of Register 4). When using an
external resistor, the value of ICP, BASE can be varied according to
Finally, the phase offset can be either positive or negative
depending on the value of DB17 in Register 4.
The reference frequency applied to the PFD can be manipulated
using the internal reference path source. The external reference
frequency applied can be internally scaled in frequency by 2×, 1×,
0.5×, or 0.25×. This allows a broader range of reference frequency
selections while keeping the reference frequency applied to the
PFD within an acceptable range.

When using the internal resistor, the base charge pump current
is 250 μA. The actual charge pump current can be programmed
to be a multiple (1, 2, 3, or 4) of the charge pump base current.
The multiplying value (ICP, MULT) is equal to 1 plus the value of
Bit DB11 and Bit DB10 in Register 4.
The ADRF6655 also provides a MUXOUT pin that can be
programmed to output a selection of several internal signals.
The default mode is to provide a lock-detect output to allow the
user to verify when the PLL has locked to the target frequency.
In addition, several other internal signals may be passed to the
MUXOUT pin, as described in Figure 74.

When using an external frequency, stable local oscillator signal
to commutate the mixer core, it is possible to shut down the PLL
circuitry through the PLL enable address (DB6) of Register 5.
REGISTER 5—LO PATH AND MIXER CONTROL
With R5[2:0] set to 101, the LO path and mixer control register
is programmed as shown in Figure 75.
The internal mixer can be disabled using the mixer bias enable
address (DB7) of Register 5.
The LO output driver can be enabled to allow the user to review
the performance of the internally applied LO through the LOP
and LON local oscillator input/output pins. The LO input/output
control allows the user to disconnect the internal LO signal and
apply an external LO signal to the LOP and LON local oscillator
input/output pins. A divide-by-2 or divide-by-3 prescaler can be
selected to divide the frequency of the externally or internally
applied oscillator signal before the mixer.
Register 5 also provides access to the CDAC Distortion
Compensation Setting (DB11:DB8). CDAC control can allow
the user to optimize the internal linearization circuitry to enhance
IP3 performance for high frequency RF input signals.

The VCO amplitude can be controlled through Register 6. The
VCO amplitude setting can be controlled between 0 and 63.
REGISTER 6—VCO CONTROL AND PLL ENABLES
With R6[2:0] set to 110, the VCO control and PLL enables
register is programmed as shown in Figure 76.
The internal VCO can be disabled using Register 6. The internal
VCO LDO can be disabled if an external clean 2.9 V supply is
available to be applied to Pin 40. Additionally, the 3.3 V on-board
LDO can be disabled through Register 6 and an external 3.3 V
supply can be applied to Pin 2.
The VCO tuning band is normally selected automatically by the
band calibration algorithm, although the user can directly select
the VCO band using Register 6.
The VCO BS SRC bit (DB9) determines whether the result of
the calibration algorithm is used to select the VCO band, or if
the band selected is based on the value in VCO band select
(DB8 to DB3).
The internal charge pump can be disabled through Register 6.
Normally, the charge pump is enabled.

than desired. By setting the external VCO enable bit (DB22) to 1,
and setting Bit DB15 to Bit DB10 of Register 6 to 0, the internal
VCO is disabled and the output of an external VCO can be fed into
the part differentially on Pin 38 and Pin 37 (LOP and LON).
Because the loop filter is already external, the output of the loop
filter simply needs to be connected to the external, tuning voltage
pin of the VCO. See the Using an External VCO section for more
information.
REGISTER 7—EXTERNAL VCO CONTROL
With R6[2:0] set to 111, the external VCO control register is
programmed as shown in Figure 77.
The external VCO enable bit allows the use of an external VCO in
the PLL instead of the internal VCO. This can be advantageous in
cases where the internal VCO is not capable of providing the desired
frequency, or where the internal phase noise of the VCO is higher

CHARACTERIZATION SETUPS
Figure 78 to Figure 80 show the general characterization bench
setups used extensively for the ADRF6655. The setup shown in
Figure 78 was used to do the bulk of the testing. An automated
Agilent VEE program was used to control the equipment over the
IEEE bus. This setup was used to measure gain, IP1dB, OP1dB,
IIP2, IIP3, OIP2, OIP3, LO-to-IF and LO-to-RF leakage, LO
amplitude, and supply current. The ADRF6655 was characterized
on an upconversion and downconversion evaluation board
configured for each conversion as described in the Input Matching
section and the Output Matching and Biasing section. For all
measurements of the ADRF6655, the loss of the RF input balun
was de-embedded.
Figure 80 shows the setup used to make the noise figure
measurements with no blocker present, and Figure 81 shows
the setup for making the noise figure measurements under
blocking conditions. Note that attention must be given to the
measurement setup. The RF blocker signal must be filtered
through a band-pass filter to prevent noise (which increases
when output power is increased) from contributing at the desired
RF frequency. At least 30 dB attenuation is needed at the desired
RF and image frequencies. For example, to generate a blocker
signal at the IF output of 205 MHz, the blocker signal generator
is set at 995 MHz, and the part is programmed to generate a LO
frequency of 1200 MHz that results in an output signal of 205 MHz.
This signal must be filtered out through a band reject filter on
the output so that the noise figure can be measured at 200 MHz,
which corresponds to the output frequency for LO = 1200 MHz
and RF input = 1000 MHz.
To do phase noise and reference spurs measurements, see the
phase noise setup used in Figure 79. Phase noise measurements
were done on a downconversion board looking at the output at
different offsets.

ADRF6655
The package for the ADRF6655 features an exposed paddle
on the underside that should be well soldered to a low thermal
and electrical impedance ground plane. This paddle is typically
soldered to an exposed opening in the solder mask on the
evaluation board. Figure 83 illustrates the dimensions used
in the layout of the ADRF6655 footprint on the ADRF6655
evaluation board (1 mil. = 0.0254 mm).
Notice the use of nine via holes on the exposed paddle. These
ground vias should be connected to all other ground layers on the
evaluation board to maximize heat dissipation from the device
package. Under these conditions, the thermal impedance of the
ADRF6655 was measured to be approximately 29°C/W in still air.
