Product details
Overview
BGX7100HN/1,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a high-linearity transmitter IQ modulator for RF up-conversion across 400 MHz to 4000 MHz. It delivers 11.5 dBm typical P1dB output power, 27 dBm typical IP3o, 50 dBc unadjusted sideband suppression, and −45 dBm carrier feedthrough. Its hardware-controlled fast power-down (<1 µs) and 5 V single-supply operation make it suitable for mobile base station transmitters requiring broadband modulation fidelity.
For engineers reviewing the BGX7100HN/1,118 datasheet, BGX7100HN/1,118 pinout, BGX7100HN/1,118 application, or BGX7100HN/1,118 equivalent, this page provides verified RF performance data, HVQFN24 package layout, differential I/Q interface design guidance, and validated alternatives for infrastructure-grade RF front-end design.
Technical Context
The BGX7100HN/1,118 integrates dual upconverter mixers with on-chip 0° and 90° LO splitting, enabling direct quadrature modulation without external phase-shift networks. Its 180 Ω differential I/Q input impedance and matched 50 Ω single-ended RF output simplify wideband filter and matching network design.
Performance remains stable across 0.25 V to 3.3 V common-mode voltage, supporting direct interfacing with diverse DAC families. The POFF_P pin enables sub-µs transition between active mode (165–184 mA total supply current) and low-current shutdown (6 mA), with minimal LO port impedance variation during switching-critical for maintaining synthesizer lock in multi-carrier base stations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RF Frequency Range | 400 MHz to 4000 MHz - supports LTE, 5G NR, WiMAX, and microwave backhaul bands in a single device. |
| P1dB Output Power | 11.5 dBm typical - sets usable linear output range before gain compression degrades EVM in wideband OFDM signals. |
| IP3o | 27 dBm typical at 2.14 GHz - determines third-order distortion floor in multi-tone transmission scenarios. |
| Sideband Suppression | 50 dBc unadjusted - defines baseline image rejection before calibration; adjustable to >100 dBc with nulling. |
| Carrier Feedthrough | −45 dBm unadjusted - quantifies DC offset-induced LO leakage magnitude prior to trimming. |
| I/Q Input Impedance | 180 Ω differential - enables direct termination with standard 90 Ω per-pin DAC outputs and 100 Ω differential filters. |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±5% - single-rail operation simplifies power delivery versus split-supply modulators. |
| Power-Down Transition | <1 µs - prevents LO unlock and transient spurs during TDD slot switching or channel gating. |
Pinout & Package
HVQFN24 package (SOT616-3), 4 mm × 4 mm × 0.85 mm body, thermally enhanced exposed die pad requiring RF ground connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| POFF_P (1) | Active-HIGH logic control input | Drives fast shutdown; >1.5 V disables modulator, <0.5 V enables; compatible with 3.3 V logic. |
| LO_P (3) / LO_N (4) | Differential local oscillator input | AC-coupled 50 Ω ports; require series capacitors; internal bias enables broadband 50 Ω match. |

| VCC_RF(5V0) (18) VCC_LO(5V0) (24) |
Analog power supplies | Separate 5 V rails for RF and LO sections reduce crosstalk; each requires local 100 nF decoupling. |
| RFGND (7,8,11,12,14,17,20) LOGND (2,5,6) |
Ground terminals | Dedicated RF and LO ground pins minimize return-path inductance; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transmitter IQ modulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADL5375-05ACPZ-R7 | 300–4000 MHz range; 13.5 dBm P1dB; 29 dBm IP3o; requires dual 5 V/3.3 V supplies; no integrated LO splitter. | Higher linearity but needs external LO phase shifter and additional LDOs; better for lab-grade instruments than cost-sensitive infrastructure. | Select when absolute IP3o >28 dBm is required and board space permits external LO conditioning. |
| TRF372017IRGZT | 300–4000 MHz; 10 dBm P1dB; 25 dBm IP3o; integrated LO buffer only (no 90° splitter); 3.3 V supply. | Lower power consumption (120 mA active) but reduced output drive; suited for portable or low-SWA designs where size trumps linearity. | Select for battery-powered or SWaP-constrained applications where 10 dBm P1dB suffices and LO path is externally managed. |
Compared with ADL5375-05ACPZ-R7 and TRF372017IRGZT, the BGX7100HN/1,118 uniquely combines integrated LO quadrature generation, 5 V single-supply operation, and robust 27 dBm IP3o across full 4 GHz bandwidth-making it optimal for production-grade wireless infrastructure where supply simplicity and thermal stability are critical.

FAQ
What is the recommended LO input power level for optimal performance of the BGX7100HN/1,118?
The BGX7100HN/1,118 achieves best linearity and sideband suppression with LO input power between −3 dBm and +3 dBm, with 0 dBm specified as nominal. Exceeding +6 dBm risks damage per absolute maximum ratings, while below −9 dBm degrades conversion gain and increases noise figure. The device maintains stable operation across this range without external LO amplification in most infrastructure designs.
Does the BGX7100HN/1,118 require external DC biasing for its I/Q inputs?
No, the BGX7100HN/1,118 features integrated active biasing and operates correctly with 0.25 V to 3.3 V common-mode voltage on MODI_P/MODI_N and MODQ_P/MODQ_N pins. External bias networks are unnecessary, simplifying interface design and eliminating drift-related calibration requirements in temperature-varying environments.
How does the POFF_P pin function in the BGX7100HN/1,118, and what logic levels activate shutdown?
The POFF_P pin on the BGX7100HN/1,118 is an active-HIGH control input: applying >1.5 V places the modulator in low-current shutdown mode (6 mA), while <0.5 V enables full operation. The transition occurs in under 1 µs, and the pin tolerates up to 3.5 V input-enabling direct connection to standard 3.3 V GPIO without level shifting.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum junction temperature specification for the BGX7100HN/1,118?
The BGX7100HN/1,118 has a thermal resistance Rth(j-mb) of 10 K/W from junction to mounting base. Its absolute maximum junction temperature is +150 °C, with continuous operation rated from −40 °C to +85 °C ambient. Proper thermal vias under the exposed die pad and copper pour on the PCB are essential to maintain reliability at full RF output power.
Can the BGX7100HN/1,118 be used with single-ended DAC outputs, or is differential interface mandatory?
The BGX7100HN/1,118 requires differential I/Q inputs (MODI_P/N, MODQ_P/N) but accommodates single-ended DACs via external resistive summing networks. Application Note AN11278 details two configurations: one using 50 Ω DAC loads plus 225 Ω differential termination, and another using 90 Ω DAC loads with direct 180 Ω differential filter matching-both preserving specified linearity and noise performance.
