AC-COUPLED INTERFACE

An ac-coupled interface can also be implemented, as shown in

Figure 29. This is an advantage because there is almost no

voltage loss due to the biasing network, allowing the AD8346

inputs to be driven by the full 2 V p-p differential signal from

the AD9761 (each of the DAC’s 4 outputs delivering 1 V p-p).

As in the dc-coupled case, the bias levels on the I and Q inputs

should be set to as precise a level as possible, relative to each

other. This prevents the introduction of additional input offset

voltages. In Figure 29, the bias level on each input is set to

approximately 1.2 V. The 2.43 kΩ resistors should have a ratio

tolerance of 0.1% or better.

The network shown has a high-pass corner frequency of

approximately 14.3 kHz (note that the 12 kΩ input impedance

of the AD8346 has been factored into this calculation).

Increasing the resistors in the network or increasing the

coupling capacitance reduces the corner frequency further.

Note that the LO suppression can be manually optimized by

replacing a portion of the four top 2.43 kΩ resistors with

potentiometers. In this case, the bottom four resistors in the

biasing network no longer need to be precision devices.
