IF Output Interface Network

Single-End IF Matching

L1, C1, C2, and R form a current combiner which performs a differential to single-ended conversion at the IF frequency

and sets the output impedance. In most cases, the resonance frequency is independent of R and can be set according to

the following equation:

Where CEQ is the equivalent stray capacitance and capacitance looking into pins 9 and 10. An average value to use for

CEQ is 2.5pF.

R can then be used to set the output impedance according to the following equation:

where ROUT is the desired output impedance and RP is the parasitic equivalent parallel resistance of L1.

C2 should first be set to 0 and C1 should be chosen as high as possible (not greater than 39pF), while maintaining an RP

of L1 that allows for the desired ROUT. If the self-resonant frequencies of the selected C1 produce unsatisfactory linearity

performance, their values may be reduced and compensated for by including C2 capacitor with a value chosen to main-

tain the desired FIF frequency.

L2 and C3 serve dual purposes. L2 serves as an output bias choke, and C3 serves as a series DC block.

In addition, L2 and C3 may be chosen to form an impedance matching network if the input impedance of the IF filter is

not equal to ROUT. Otherwise, L2 is chosen to be large (suggested 120nH) and C3 is chosen to be large (suggested

22nF) if a DC path to ground is present in the IF filter, or omitted if the filter is DC-blocked.
