GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD6122 is a low power IF transmitter subsystem, specifi-
cally designed for CDMA applications. It consists of an I and Q
modulator, a divide-by-two quadrature generator, high dynamic
range IF amplifiers with voltage-controlled gain and a power-
down control input. An integral low dropout regulator allows
operation from battery voltages from 2.9 V to 4.2 V.
The gain control input accepts an external gain control voltage
input from a DAC. It provides 97 dB of gain control with a
nominal 75 dB/V scale factor. Either an internal or an external
reference may be used to set the gain-control scale factor.
The I and Q modulator accepts differential quadrature base-
band inputs from a CDMA baseband converter. The local oscil-
lator is injected at twice the IF frequency. A divide-by-two
quadrature generator followed by dual polyphase filters ensures
±
1
°
quadrature accuracy.
The modulator provides a common-mode reference output to
bias the transmit DACs in the baseband converter to the same
common-mode voltage as the modulator inputs, allowing dc
coupling between the two ICs and thus eliminating the need to
charge and discharge coupling capacitors. This allows the fastest
power-up and power-down times for the AD6122 and CDMA
baseband ICs.
The AD6122 is fabricated using a 25 GHz f
t
silicon BiCMOS
process and is packaged in a 28-lead SSOP and a 32-leadless
LPCC chip scale package (5 mm
×
5 mm).
