ANALOG DEVICES LT5546EUF#PBF RF IC, I/Q Demodulator, 40 to 500 MHz, 1.8 to 5.25 V Supply, -40 to 85 °C, QFN-EP-16

LT5546 is a 40MHz to 500MHz monolithic integrated quadrature demodulator with variable gain amplifier (VGA) and 17MHz I/Q baseband bandwidth designed for low voltage operation. It supports standards that use a linear modulation format. The chip consists of a VGA, quadrature down converting mixers and 17MHz lowpass noise filters (LPF). The LO port consists of a divide-by-two stage and LO buffers. The IC provides all building blocks for IF down conversion to I and Q baseband signals with a single supply voltage of 1.8V to 5.25V. The VGA gain has a linear in-dB relationship to the control input voltage. Hard-clipping amplifiers at the mixer outputs reduce the recovery time from a signal overload condition. The lowpass filters reduce the out-of-band noise and spurious frequency components. It is widely used in applications such as GPS IF receivers, satellite IF receivers, VHF/UHF receivers, wireless local loop etc.
