LTC5589 - I/Q Input DC Bias Questions

Category: Hardware
Product Number: LTC5589

Hello all,

Regarding LTC5589 I/Q input DC bias,

There is an internally generated 1.4V DC bias.

Q1: The datasheet mentions an option to disable the internal bias. How can this be achieved?

Q2: I am using an FDA with a common-mode voltage of 1.65V. What would happen if I connect 1.65V-biased I/Q signals to the modulator inputs? My assumption is that it should be fine due to the 1kΩ resistors between the input and the internal reference, but I would like to confirm.

Thanks

Nir

  • Hi Enash,

    I couldn’t find any reference either. I assume this switch only indicates that the bias can be disabled, perhaps when the device is powered off (EN = 0).

    Regarding biasing at 1.65V—yes, I looked at this note just today. I’ll verify that it's okay using the evaluation board.

    Thanks for helping!
