6 / 8 page _______________Detailed Description The following sections describe the blocks shown in the Functional Diagram (Figure 1). Programmable-Gain Amplifier The MAX3532’s processing path is made up of the pro- grammable-gain amplifier (PGA) and the transmit power amplifier, which together provide better than 64dB of output level control in 1dB steps. The PGA is implemented as a programmable Gilbert cell attenuator. It uses a differential architecture to achieve maximum linearity. When it is driven single ended, specified performance is achieved given that the unused input is decoupled to ground. The gain of the PGA is determined by the serial-data interface. See Table 2. Transmit Power Amplifier The transmit power amp is capable of driving +8dBmV to +62dBmV differentially when driven with +36dBmV. To achieve the necessary swing from a single +5V supply, an external 1:2 transformer must be used. The output of the transmit power amplifier is a very low-impedance emitter follower, which requires two 8 Ω series termination resistors to achieve adequate output return loss. The power amplifier’s gain is set via the serial-data interface. The transmit power amplifier has a switchable +16dB or +0dB gain to achieve high linearity or low noise, respectively. High-gain mode sets the power amp’s gain to +16dB, allowing for the highest output signal swings. Low-noise mode sets the gain to 0dB, which achieves the lowest output noise. Shutdown Mode In normal operation the shutdown pin (SHDN) is driven high. When SHDN is asserted low, all circuits within the IC are disabled. Only leakage currents flow in this state. Data stored within the serial-data interface latch- es will be lost upon shutting down the part. Transmit-Disable Mode When the TXEN pin is asserted high, the device is in transmit mode. When TXEN is driven low, the transmit amplifier switches to common-mode operation and the output signal appears at the output pins VOUT+ and VOUT- with the same phase. These identical signals cancel within the output transformer core, providing high isolation from input to output. Optimum isolation is achieved in low-noise mode with a low gain setting. Serial Interface The serial interface has an active-low enable (CS) to bracket the data, with data clocked in MSB first on the rising edge of SCLK. Data is stored in the storage latch on the rising edge of CS. The serial interface controls the state of the PGA and output amplifier. The register format is shown in Tables 1 and 2. Serial-interface tim- ing is shown in Figure 2. Transmit Modes The hardware TXEN line is ANDed with software bit D7, so both TXEN and D7 must be high to transmit. Bit D6 governs whether the device is set to high-gain mode (D6 = 1) or to low-noise mode (D6 = 0). High-power mode should be used for output levels above 45dBmV. This transition point optimizes the MAX3532’s distortion perfor- mance, but either mode may be used throughout the full complement of programmed gain states. Bits D5–D0 define 64 PGA gain states, nominally 1dB each.
