The demodulator is suitable for superheterodyne architectures with IF frequencies up to 300MHz and the device may be used in low IF systems or those converting down to baseband. The modulator converts directly from baseband to the desired transmit frequency and features quadrature phase correction to minimise unwanted spectral components. An on-chip PLL and VCO, together with uncommitted baseband differential amplifiers, provide additional flexibility. Control of the CMX973 is by serial bus. The CMX973 is supplied in an RF- optimised 32-lead VQFN package. 2019 CML Microsystems Plc Quadrature Modulator/Demodulator CMX973 CONTENTS Section Page 1 Brief Description .................................................................................................. 1 1.1 History .............................................................................................................. 4 2 Block Diagram ...................................................................................................... 5 3 Pin List .................................................................................................................. 6 4 External Components .......................................................................................... 7 4.1 Power Supply Decoupling ............................................................................... 7 4.2 Quadrature Modulator...................................................................................... 8 4.3 Quadrature Demodulator ................................................................................. 8 4.4 Local Oscillator (LO) Input ............................................................................... 9 4.5 VCO and PLL ................................................................................................... 9 4.6 Differential Amplifiers ..................................................................................... 12 4.6.1 I/Q Output Amplifiers ............................................................................... 12 4.6.2 Low IF Output .......................................................................................... 13 5 General Description ........................................................................................... 14 5.1 Quadrature Modulator.................................................................................... 14 5.1.1 Local Oscillator (LO) ............................................................................... 14 5.1.2 DC Offsets and Carrier Leakage ............................................................. 14 5.2 Quadrature Demodulator ............................................................................... 14 5.2.1 I/Q Amplitude and Phase Correction ...................................................... 15 5.2.2 DC Offset Correction ............................................................................... 17 5.3 Differential Amplifiers ..................................................................................... 17 5.4 Local Oscillator (LO) ...................................................................................... 18 5.4.1 Demodulator LO Input ............................................................................. 18 5.4.2 Modulator LO Input ................................................................................. 18 5.4.3 VCO and PLL .......................................................................................... 19 6 C-BUS Interface and Register Description ...................................................... 21 6.1 General Reset Command .............................................................................. 22 6.1.1 General Reset Command -
