RF2461
CDMA/FM LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER/MIXER
900MHz DOWNCONVERTER
• CDMA/FM (AMPS) Systems
• Dual-Mode TACS/JCDMA Systems
• General Purpose Downconverter
• Commercial and Consumer Systems
• Portable Battery-Powered Equipment
The RF2461 is a receiver front-end designed for the
receive section of dual-mode CDMA/FM cellular applica-
tions. It is designed to amplify and downconvert RF sig-
nals, while providing 30dB of stepped gain control range.
Features include digital control of LNA gain, mixer gain,
and power down mode. Another feature of the chip is
adjustable IIP3 of the LNA and mixer using an off-chip
current setting resistor. Noise figure, IP3, and gain are
designed to be compatible with the IS-98B interim stan-
dard for CDMA cellular communications. The IC is manu-
factured on an advanced Silicon Germanium Bi-CMOS
process and is assembled in a 4mmx4mm, 20-pin, QFN
package.
• Complete Receiver Front-End
• Stepped LNA/Mixer Gain Control
• Adjustable LNA/Mixer Bias Current
• Adjustable LNA/Mixer IIP3
• Meets IMD Tests with Three Gain
States/Two Logic Control Lines
