RF2461
CDMA/FM LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER/MIXER
900MHZ DOWNCONVERTER
• CDMA/FM Cellular Systems
• Supports Dual-Mode AMPS/CDMA
• Supports Dual-Mode TACS/JCDMA
• 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 other specs
are designed to be compatible with the IS-98B interim
standard for CDMA cellular communications. The IC is
manufactured on an advanced Silicon Germanium HBT
process and is in a 4 mmx4mm, 20-pin, leadless chip car-
rier.
• 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
