DEMO MANUAL DC1774A-C

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Demo circuit 1774A-C can be set up to evaluate the per-

formance of the LTC6431-15. Refer to Figures 7 and 8, for

proper equipment connections and follow the procedure

below:

Single-Tone Measurement:

Connect all test equipment as suggested in Figure 7

1. The power labels of +5V and GND directly correspond

to the power supply. Typical current consumption of

the LTC6431-15 is about 90mA.

2. Apply an input signal to J7. A low-distortion, low noise

signal source with an external high order lowpass filter

will yield the best performance. (i.e. the input signal is

–10dBm. The Input is impedance matched to 50Ω).

3. Observe the output via J10. (The measured power at

the analyzer should be about +5dBm. The output is

impedance matched to 50Ω), suitable for the input of

a network or spectrum analyzer.

Two-Tone Measurement:

Connect all test equipment as suggested in Figure 8.

1. The power labels of +5V and GND directly correspond

to the power supply. Typical current consumption of

the LTC6431-15 is about 90mA.

2. Apply two independent signals f1 and f2 from SG1 and

SG2 at 240MHz and 241MHz respectively.

3. Monitor the output tone level on the spectrum analyzer.

Adjust signal generator levels such that output power

measures +2dBm/tone at the amplifier output J10, after

correcting for external cable losses and attenuators.

4. Change the spectrum analyzer’s center frequency and

observe the two IM3 tones at 1MHz below and above

the input frequencies. (i.e. the frequencies of IM3_LOW

and IM3_HIGH are 239MHz and 242MHz, respectively.

The measurement levels should be approximately

–90dBc; +47dBm is a typical performance of OIP3

at 240MHz). For this setup, the Rohde and Schwarz

FSEM30 spectrum analyzer was used. This SA has a

typical +20dBm third-order intercept point (TOI). So,

the SA input attenuation is set to 20dB with an external

20dB attenuation pad, resulting in an attenuation total

of 40dB. The system as described can measure OIP3

up to +50dBm.

OPERATION

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The demo circuit 1774A-C is a high linearity fixed gain

amplifier. It is designed for ease of use. Both the input

and output are internally matched to 50Ω single-ended

source and load impedance which is compatible with most

test equipment input and output. Figure 2 is shown demo

board’s S-parameters.

Figure 3 shows the demo circuit’s schematic. It requires

a minimum of passive supporting components. The input

and output DC blocking capacitors (C1 and C3) are re-

quired because this device is internally biased for optimal

operation. The frequency appropriate choke (L1) and the

decoupling capacitors (C21 and C22) provide bias to the

RF output node. Only a single 5V supply is necessary for

the VCC pins on the device.

The particular element values shown in the demo board

schematic are chosen for wide bandwidth operation.

Depending on the desired frequency, performance may

be improved by properly selecting one of the supporting

components.

As with any RF device, minimizing ground inductance is

critical.Careshouldbetakenwiththeboardlayoutbecause

of these exposed pad packages. The maximum number of

minimumdiameterviasholesshouldbeplacedunderneath

the exposed pad. This will ensure good RF ground and low

thermal impedance. Maximizing the copper ground plane

will also improve heat spreading and low inductance. It is

a good idea to cover the via holes with solder mask on the

back side of the PCB to prevent solder from wicking away

from the critical PCB to exposed pad interface.

The DC1774A-C is a wide bandwidth demo board but

it is not intended for operation down to DC. The lower

frequency cutoff is limited by on-chip matching elements.

TheSchematicDiagramsectionshows thePCB’sschematic

of the amplifier family LTC643X-YY. Hence, the board

can be modified for multiple demo board versions. For

example, both DC1774A-A and DC1774A-B demo boards

have a differential amplifier at U1; therefore, the board

Anoptionalparallel 62pF (C8)and348Ω(R2) input network

has been added to insure low frequency stability.

Table 2 shows the function of each input and output on

the board.

is using transformers to transform from differential to

single-ended input and output. Likewise, the DC1774A-C

is a single-ended demo board; consequently, it uses the

LTC6431-15 for single-ended input and output.

Setup and Testing Signal Sources

The LTC6431-15 is an amplifier with high linearity per-

formance; therefore, output intermodulation products are

very low. For this reason, it drives most test equipment

and test setups to their limits. Consequently, accurate

measurement of the third-order intercept point for a low

distortion IC such as the LTC6431-15 requires certain

precautions to be observed in the test setup and testing

procedure.

Setup Signal Source

Figure 8 shows a proposed IP3 test setup. This setup has

low phase noise, good reverse isolation, high dynamic

range, sufficient harmonic filtering and wideband imped-

ance matching. The setup is outlined below:

a. High performance signal generator 1 and 2, the

HP8644A, were used to characterize the LTC6431-15.

These generators have low harmonic distortion and

very low phase noise.

dc1774acf

DEMO MANUAL DC1774A-C

b. High linearity amplifier which will help with the genera-

tor’sisolation.Italso prevents the two signal generators

from cross talking with each other and provides higher

output power.

c. A lowpass filter to suppress the harmonic contents

from interfering with the test signal.

d. The signal combiner from mini circuit, ADP-2-9, com-

bines the two isolated input signals. This combiner

has a typical isolation of 27dB. For better VSWR and

isolation, use the H-9 signal combiner from MA/COM.

The H-9 combiner has > 40dB isolation and a wider

frequency range, with about 3dB insertion loss. Even

passivedevices (i.e. combiners) withmagneticelements

can contribute non-linearity to the signal chain.

e. The Attenuator pads, on all three ports of the signal

combiner, will support further isolation of the two input

signal sources. They will reduce reflection and promote

maximum power transfer with wideband impedance

matching.

Testing Signal Source

Thetesting signal should beevaluatedand optimized before

it is used for measurements. The following outlines the

necessary steps to achieve optimization.

a. Apply two independent signals f1 and f2 from signal gen-

erator 1 and signal generator 2 at 240MHz and 241MHz

with the amplitude = –20dBm for each output tone.

b. Connect the combined signal sources output directly

to the spectrum analyzer. (without the DUT).

c. Slowly adjust the amplitude from signal generators so

that the output power level is +2dBm for each tone (i.e.

Thedefault twotonetestingpowerlevel forLTC6431-15).

d. Adjust the spectrum analyzer for maximum possible

resolution of the intermodulation products amplitude

in dBc relative to the main tone power (i.e. adjust fre-

quency span and resolution bandwidth to display the

noise floor. The wider span frequency will take a longer

time to sweep).

e. Insert a small attenuator pad (3dB or 6dB at the signal

combiner inputs) into the setup and observe if the setup

limitstheintermodulationproductslevel.(i.e.foragood

IP3 test setup with sufficient port-to-port isolation,

when measuring the intermodulation products, their

amplitude level (in dBc), will not be changed when a

small attenuation pad insert into the setup). Figure 4

shows the setup at the optimum input Attenuation.

f. Optimizethedynamic range of the spectrum analyzer by

adjusting input attenuation. First increase the spectrum

analyzer input attenuation (normally in steps of 10dB).

If the IMD product levels decrease when the input at-

tenuation is increased, then, the input power level is too

high for the spectrum analyzer to make a valid measure-

ment. Figure 5 is depicted the signal overloaded. (i.e.

these also mean that you are overloading the spectrum

analyzer and it is producing its own IMD products).

If the IMD (dBc) readings are constant, then, a sufficient

amount of attenuation has been added. Adding too

much attenuation will raise the noise floor and bury the

intended IMD signal as shown in Figure 6. Therefore,

select just enough attenuation to achieve a stable and

valid measurement.

In order to achieve good measurement result, the test

system must have lower distortion than the DUT Inter-

modulation. For example, to yield a +47dBm OIP3, the

measuredIntermodulation products mustbeabout –90dBc

than the test system must have better Intermodulation

products than –90dBc.
