DC503A DEMO BOARD QUICK START GUIDE

Description:

The DC503A demo circuit board is intended to demonstrate the capabilities of the LT5512

downconverting mixer IC for cable infrastructure applications.

The LT5512 (Figure 1) is a broadband high signal level mixer IC optimized for high linearity

downconverter applications including cable and wireless infrastructure. The IC includes a

differential LO buffer driving a double-balanced mixer. An integrated RF amplifier improves LO-

RF isolation and eliminates the need for precision external bias resistors.

The LT5512 is a high-linearity alternative to passive diode mixers. Unlike passive mixers, which

have conversion loss and require high LO drive level, the LT5512 delivers conversion gain and

requires significantly lower LO drive levels.

The DC503A demo board downconverts 1230MHz RF input to 270-870MHz IF output. The LO is

injected from the high-side between 1500MHz and 2100MHz.

LT5512 Downconverting Mixer Single-Tone Measurements for 1230 MHz CATV Band.

1. Connect all test equipment as shown in Figure 2.

2. Set the Power Supply output voltage to 5V, and set the current limit to 100mA.

3. Connect TP1 (EN) to the 5V power supply. Mixer is in ENABLE mode.

4. Set the Signal Generator #1 to provide an 1800MHz, -10dBm, CW signal to the demo board

LOin port.

5. Set the Signal Generator #2 to provide a 1230MHz, -10dBm, CW signal to the demo board

RFin port.

6. Set the Spectrum Analyzer’s center frequency to 570MHz. Perform mixer conversion gain,

and 1dB compression measurements.

7. Set the Spectrum Analyzer’s center frequency to 1800MHz. Perform mixer LO to IF

leakage measurement.

LT5512 Downconverting Mixer Two-Tone Measurements for 1230MHz CATV Band.

1. Connect all test equipment as shown in Figure 3.

Note: 1). A high quality combiner that provides 50-ohm termination on all ports and has

good port-to-port isolation should be used.

2). The two 3dB attenuators on the inputs of the combiner are used to further

improve source isolation.

2. Set the Power Supply output voltage to 5V, and set the current limit to 100mA.

3. Connect TP1 (EN) to the 5V power supply. Mixer is in ENABLE mode.

4. Set the Signal Generator #1 to provide a 1800MHz, -10dBm, CW signal to the demo board

LOin port.

5. Set the Signal Generator #2 and #3 to provide two -10dBm CW signals to the demo board

RFin port—one at 1229.9MHz, and the other at 1230.1MHz.

6. Set the Spectrum Analyzer’s center frequency to 570MHz. Perform input 3rd order

distortion measurement. (IIP3 = P1 + (P1 – P3) / 2 – Gc, where P1 is the lowest power level

of the two desired output tones at either 569.9MHz or 570.1MHz, P3 is the largest 3rd order

product at either 569.7MHz or 570.3MHz, and Gc is conversion gain. P1 and P3 are in units

of dBm, and Gc is in dB.)
