AD8348ARUZ

The AD8348ARUZ 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 characteristic 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.

The AD8348ARUZ is fabricated on an advanced bipolar process, operating on a single 3 or 5 volt supply, packaged in space saving 28 lead thin shrunk small outline (TSSOP) package and fully specified over the –40 to +85 C temperature range
