RF2668
CDMA/FM TRANSMIT MODULATOR, IF AGC,
AND UPCONVERTER WITH INTEGRATED PLL
• CDMA/FM Cellular and PCS Systems
• Tri-Mode/Dual-Band CDMA Applications
• W-CDMA Systems
• Wireless Local Loop Systems
• Spread-Spectrum Cordless Phones
• High Speed Data Modems
The RF2668 is an integrated complete quadrature modu-
lator, IF AGC amplifier, upconverter, and PLL, designed
for the transmit section of dual-mode CDMA/FM cellular,
PCS, and tri-mode CDMA applications. It is designed to
modulate baseband I and Q signals, amplify the resulting
IF signals while providing 95dB of gain control range, and
perform the final upconversion to UHF. Noise Figure, IP3,
and other specifications are designed to be compatible
with the IS-98 Interim Standard. This circuit is designed
as part of RFMD’s newest CDMA chipset, which also
includes the RF2667 CDMA/FM Receive IF AGC and
Demodulator. The IC is manufactured on an advanced
18GHz FT Silicon Bipolar process, and is supplied in a
48-lead plastic LQFP package.
• Supports Tri-Mode Operation
• Digitally Controlled Power Down Modes
• 2.7V to 3.3V Operation
• Digital First LO Quadrature Divider
• Double-Balanced UHF Upconvert Mixer
• IF AGC Ampwith95dBGainControl
