Applications

The 1GC1-4180 is designed for use in high frequency communication systems and EW radar systems where Multi I/O, low phase-noise PLL control circuitry or broad-band frequency translation is required.

Device Architecture

The simplified schematic of the device is shown in Figure 1.

One of two independent differential input ports can selected to drive an internal multi-mod-ulus prescaler with the ability to pass the input signal to the output without division or divide the signal by either 2,4,8, or 16, depending on the A1, A2, A3 selection line bias.

The output of the prescaler drives six identical differential output ports simultaneously however the output amplitude can be adjusted via the VADJ control lines for all output ports. Two independent amplitude control lines are provided, one for outputs 1-5 and a separate line for output 6.

An additional DISABLE contact is also provided to lock the input preventing the device from false triggering or producing any unwanted self-oscillation output signals.

All RF I/O ports are DC-coupled and terminated to GND via on-chip 50 Ω resistors, however, the device will operate with AC coupling on any of the RF ports.

Basic Biasing and RF Operation

Since VCC is grounded on-chip (via conductive back-side vias), the device operates from a single, negative bias supply, connected to the VEE contact. A unique bias-leveling topology, employed on-chip, allows the device to operate with any voltage between –4.5 to –5.5 volts applied to VEE.

The device will provide pass- through or prescaling for either sinusoidal or square-wave input signals between 70 MHz and 12 GHz with good input sensitivity above 300 MHz. The output amplifier response provides flat output power over a DC to 6 GHz bandwidth with an upper –3 dB point of ~ 9 GHz. Below 300 MHz, the prescaler input is slew–rate limited requiring larger amplitudes or fast rising and falling edge speeds to properly divide. The device will operate at frequencies down to DC when driven with a square-wave as along as the slew-rate is greater than 0.14 V/nS or 10% - 90% edge speeds of ~ 5 nS.

Control Features

The 1GC1-4180 provides several signal routing and conditioning control features including RF input select, divider modulus select, RF input disable, and variable output power control. Several of these controls have specific logic state conditions and bias ranges restrictions and are summarized in Table 1.

Modulus selectBy applying a Logic “1” (High) voltage of 0.0V or Logic “0” (Low) voltage equal to VEE, the device will operate in either pass–through mode (with unity divide modulus) or at any of four different divide ratios including 2,4,8, or 16 according to following table:

Input selectTwo independent differential RF input ports are available on the 1GC1-4180. The RF path is connected to the “RFin 1” port by default when no external bias is supplied to the SELECT control line (O.C.) or, when the VSELECT line is pulled to Logic “0” (Low). Applying bias to VSELECT equivalent to a Logic “1” (High) state, selects the RFin 2 port. Both selected and unselected input ports are terminated through on-chip 50 Ω resistors to GND. Note: due to limited on-chip isolation through the input selector topology and the high sensitivity on the first divider stage, it is possible for the prescaler to produce an output signal even when the non-driven input is selected. To prevent this condition, decrease the input amplitude present at the non-driven port or utilize the Input Disable funciton described later in this section.

VLogic ECL contact padUnder normal conditions, no external bias or connection is required to this contact and it is self–biased to the on–chip ECL logic threshold voltage of ~ –1.35 v. The user can provide an external bias to this lead (between –1.5 to –1.2 volts) to force the prescaler to operate at a system generated logic threshold voltage.

Control Features continuedVariable output power featureBy default, when the VADJ contacts are left open circuited (O.C.), all six outputs are active and will provide typical output power (voltage swing) of 0.0 dBm (0.5 Vp–p). The nominal O.C. voltage appearing at the VADJ contacts is –1.8 Volts.

Supplying a less negative bias to the VADJ control lines (between –1.8 V and GND) will increase the output amplitude of each port proportional to the applied voltage to as high as +6.0 dBm (1.0 Vp-p).

Supplying a more negative bias to the VADJ control lines (between –1.8 V and VEE) will decrease the output amplitude of each port proportional to the applied voltage until the output amplitude is < – 25 dBm (– 50 dBm at low frequencies) or effectively 0.0 Vp-p.

VADJ 1-5 controls the output amplitudes of ports 1-5 simultaneously whereas VADJ 6 controls the amplitude only on output port 6. The total current IEE drawn from the main bias supply will also change proportionally to the VADJ 1-6 control line bias.

Input disable feature:By applying an external bias to this contact pad (more positive than –1.1 v), the input preamplifier stage is locked preventing division and self–oscillation.

Input DC Offset:Another method used to prevent false triggers or self–oscillation conditions is to apply a 20 to 100 mV DC offset voltage between the RFin and RFin ports. This prevents noise or spurious low level signals from triggering the divider.

Assembly Techniques

Figures 2 and 3 show the chip bond pad locations and typical assembly diagram for differential I/O operation through 12 GHz. To prevent bias instabilities, the VEE contact should be connected to a 100 pF or greater bypass chip capacitor located near the die. All bonds between the device and this bypass capacitor should be as short as possible to limit the inductance. For operation at frequencies below 1 GHz, a large value capacitor (> 400 pF) must be added to provide proper RF bypassing.

Subsequent bypassing with a 10 nF or greater feedthrough capacitor located at the hybrid microcircuit bias pin is also recommended.

The 1GC1-4180 may be operated with direct DC connections to all RF ports but in general, AC coupling capacitors are recommended on the RFin and RFout connections to the device.

Due to on–chip 50 Ω matching resistors present on-chip at all sixteen RF ports, no external termination is required. However, improved input sensitivity and reverse Spitback performance (~15 dB) can be achieved by terminating the unused RFout port to GND through 50 Ω.

The 1GC1-4180 die is fabricated using a GaAs-based HBT semiconductor material structure which allows the device to be attached to hybrid microcircuit housing or to thermal shims using either traditional AuSn solder, epoxy-based die-attach materials and processes (such as 84-1LMI), and newer RoHS assembly temperatures, where required.

ESD and Handling Precautions

GaAs MMICs in either chip or SMT packages are ESD sensitive. ESD preventive measures must be employed in all aspects of storage, handling, and assembly.

MMIC ESD precautions, handling considerations, die attach and bonding methods are critical factors in successful GaAs MMIC performance and reliability. Keysight Technologies GaAs MMIC ESD, Die Attach and Bonding Guidelines - Application Note, literature number 5991-3484EN provides basic information on these subjects.

RoHS Compliance

This device is RoHS Compliant. This means the component meets the requirements of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union Restriction of Hazard-ous Substances Directive 2011/65/EU, commonly known as RoHS. The six regulated substances are lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium VI (hexavalent), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated biphenyl ethers (PBDE). RoHS compliance implies that any residual concentration of these substances is below the RoHS Directive’s maximum concentration values (MVC); being less than 1000 ppm by weight for all substances except for cadmium which is less than 100 ppm by weight.
