RF2461 0 Typical Applications * CDMA/FM (AMPS) Systems * Dual-Mode TACS/JCDMA Systems * General Purpose Downconverter Product Description The RF2461 is a receiver front-end designed for the receive section of dual-mode CDMA/FM cellular applications. It is designed to amplify and downconvert RF signals, 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 standard for CDMA cellular communications. The IC is manufactured on an advanced Silicon Germanium Bi-CMOS process and is assembled in a 4mmx4mm, 20-pin, QFN package.

MIX GAIN 3 LNA IN LNA OUT LNA IN GND1B 4 5 VCC1 GND1B VCC pin for all circuits except the LO. Buffer/bias circuitry. LNA emitter. This pin provides the DC path to ground for the LNA. A lumped element or a transmission line inductor can be placed between this pin and ground to degenerate the LNA. This will decrease the gain and increase the IP3 of the LNA. As the value of inductance is increased, these effects will become more pronounced. LNA output pin. An external resistor R2 connected to this pin sets the current of the preamp and the mixer. An external resistor R3 connected to this pin sets the current of the LNA when IP SET is high (see pin 19). Ground pin for preamp circuit. A 3.3nH inductor is used between pin 9 and ground to degenerate the mixer preamp. Degenerating the preamp will reduce the gain, increase the IP3 and affect the preamp input impedance.

First differential output pin for the first mixer. Open collector. A current combiner external network performs a differential to single-ended conversion and sets the output impedance. A DC blocking cap must be present if the IF filter input has a DC path to ground. Mixer (IF2+ and IF-) needs to "see" a differential impedance between 2k to 4k. See pin 9. See pin 12.

A current combiner external network performs a differential to single-ended conversion and sets the output impedance. A DC blocking cap must be present if the IF filter input has a DC path to ground.

LO IN 18 ENABLE This pin is used to enable or disable the RF2461. A logic high (>2.0V) enables the circuitry. A logic low (<1.0V) disables the circuitry. ENABLE 19 IP SET Controls the setting of the LNA current. A logic low (<1.0V) selects the internal resistance (49.5k), resulting in an LNA current of 5mA. A logic high (>2.0V) selects the external resistance at pin 8. Determines which IF port is active. A logic low (<1.0V) activates IF1 and deactivates IF2. A logic high (>2.0V) activates IF2 and deactivates IF1. Mixers are identical. Either IF output may be used for CDMA or AMPS applications. Ground connection. The backside of the package should be soldered to a top side ground pad which is connected to the ground plane with multiple vias.

Output Interface Network L1, C1, and R form a current combiner which performs a differential to single-ended conversion at the IF frequency and sets the output impedance. In most cases, the resonance frequency is independent of R and can be set according to the following equation: fIF = 1 L1 2 (C1 + C ) EQ 2 where ROUT is the desired output impedance and RP is the parasitic equivalent parallel resistance of L1. C1 should be chosen as high as possible (not greater than 15pF), while maintaining an RP of L1 that allows for the desired ROUT. L2 and C2 serve dual purposes. L2 serves as an output bias choke, and C2 serves as a series DC block. In addition, L2 and C2 may be chosen to form an impedance matching network if the input impedance of the IF filter is not equal to ROUT. Otherwise, L2 is chosen to be large, and C2 is chosen to be large if a DC path to ground is present in the IF filter, or omitted if the filter is DC blocked. Where CEQ is the equivalent stray capacitance and capacitance looking into pins 11 and 12. An average value to use for CEQ is 2.5pF to 3pF. R can then be used to set the output impedance according to the following equation: R= (4 1 -1 R RP OUT )-1 Rev B6 060925 8-108 RF2461 Evaluation Board Schematic - CDMA LO@965MHz, RF@880MHz, IF@85MHz (Download Bill of Materials from www.rfmd.com.)
