GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8348 is a broadband quadrature demodulator with an
integrated intermediate frequency (IF), variable gain amplifier
(VGA), and integrated baseband amplifiers. It is suitable for use in
communications receivers, performing quadrature demodulation
from IF directly to baseband frequencies. The baseband amplifiers
are designed to interface directly with dual-channel ADCs, such
as the AD9201, AD9283, and AD9218, for digitizing and post-
processing.
The IF input signal is fed into two Gilbert cell mixers through
an X-AMP® VGA. The IF VGA provides 44 dB of gain control.
A precision gain control circuit sets a linear-in-decibel gain char-
acteristic for the VGA and provides temperature compensation.
The LO quadrature phase splitter employs a divide-by-2 frequency
divider to achieve high quadrature accuracy and amplitude balance
over the entire operating frequency range.
Optionally, the IF VGA can be disabled and bypassed. In this
mode, the IF signal is applied directly to the quadrature mixer
inputs via the MXIP and MXIN pins.

Separate I- and Q-channel baseband amplifiers follow the baseband
outputs of the mixers. The voltage applied to the VCMO pin sets
the dc common-mode voltage level at the baseband outputs.
Typically, VCMO is connected to the internal VREF voltage, but
it can also be connected to an external voltage. This flexibility
allows the user to maximize the input dynamic range to the ADC.
Connecting a bypass capacitor at each offset compensation input
(IOFS and QOFS) nulls dc offsets produced in the mixer. Offset
compensation can be overridden by applying an external voltage
at the offset compensation inputs.
The mixers’ outputs are brought off-chip for optional filtering
before final amplification. Inserting a channel selection filter
before each baseband amplifier increases the baseband amplifiers’
signal handling range by reducing the amplitude of high level,
out-of-channel interferers before the baseband signal is fed into
the I/Q baseband amplifiers. The single-ended mixer output is
amplified and converted to a differential signal for driving ADCs.
