Output Interface Network
L1, C1, and R form a current combiner which per-
forms a differential to single-ended conversion at the
IF frequency and sets the output impedance. In most
cases, the resonance frequency is independent of R
and can be set according to the following equation:
Where CEQ is the equivalent stray capacitance and
capacitance looking into pins 1 and 2. An average value
to use for CEQ is 2.5pF to 3pF.
R can then be used to set the output impedance
according to the following equation:
where ROUT is the desired output impedance and RP is
the parasitic equivalent parallel resistance of L1.
C1 should be chosen as high as possible (not greater
than 22pF), while maintaining an RP of L1 that allows
for the desired ROUT.
L2 and C2 serve dual purposes. L2 serves as an output
bias choke, and C2 serves as a series DC block.
In addition, L2 and C2 may be chosen to form an imped-
ance matching network if the input impedance of the IF
filter is not equal to ROUT. Otherwise, L2 is chosen to be
large, and C2 is chosen to be large if a DC path to
ground is present in the IF filter, or omitted if the filter is
DC blocked.
