U2794B
Description
The silicon monolithic integrated circuit U2794B is a quadrature demodulator manu-
factured using Atmel’s advanced UHF technology. This demodulator features a
frequency range from 70 MHz to 1000 MHz, low current consumption, selectable gain,
power-down mode and adjustment-free handling. The IC is suitable for direct conver-
sion and image rejection applications in digital radio systems up to 1 GHz such as
cellular radios, cordless telephones, cable TV and satellite TV systems.

Notes: 1. During power-down status a load circuitry with DC-isolation to GND is assumed, otherwise a current of I

(VS -0.8 V)/RI
has to be added to the above power-down current for each output I, IX, Q, QX.
2. The required LO-Level is a function of the LO frequency (see Figure 8).
3. Measured with input matching. For 950 MHz, the optional transmission line T3 at the RF input may be used for this pur-
pose. Noise figure measurements without using the differential output signal result in a worse noise figure.
4. Using Pins 7 and 8 as a symmetric RF input, the second-order IIP can be improved.
5. Due to test board parasitics, this bandwidth may be reduced and not be equal for I, IX, Q, QX. If symmetry and full band-
width is required, the lowpass Pins 3, 4 and 9, 10 should be isolated from the board. the bandwidth of the I/Q outputs can
be increased further by using a resistor between Pins 3, 4, 9 and 10. These resistors shunt the internal loads of
RI ~ 5.4 kW. The decrease in gain here has to be considered.
6. The internal current of the output emitter followers is 0.6 mA. This reduces the undistorted output voltage swing at a 50
W
load to approsimately 30 mV. For low signal distortion the load impedance should be RI
³
5 kW.

8. The low-gain status is achieved with an open or high-ohmic Pin 11. A recommended application circuit for switching
between high and low gain status is hown in Figure 3.
