RF2628

RF2628 6 Typical Applications • CDMA/FM Cellular Systems • Supports Dual-Mode AMPS/CDMA • Supports Dual-Mode TACS/CDMA • Commercial and Consumer Systems • Battery-Operated Systems CDMA/FM UPCONVERTER/BPSK MODULATOR Product Description The RF2628 is a complete upconverter designed for CDMA/FM cellular applications. The IC contains a double-balanced mixer stage and an output buffer amplifier stage. This device may also be used to directly BPSK modulate a carrier. The mixer is a Gilbert cell with emitter degeneration resistors to provide high IP3. The output stage is a class-B, push-pull configuration to reduce the overall current and still provide a good 50 Ω output match. The unit operates at a supply voltage of 2.7V to 5.0V and does not require any external matching components other than coupling capacitors. This circuit is designed as part of the RFMD CDMA Chip Set, consisting of a Transmit IF AGC Amp, this Transmit Upconverter, a Receive LNA/Mixer, and a Receive IF AGC Amp.

This pin is internally DC-biased and should be DC blocked if connected to a device with a DC level present. For singleended input operation, one pin is used as an input and the other IF input is AC coupled to ground. The balanced, as well as single-ended, input impedance is 265 Ω. The IF input should be used differentially when the part is used as a BPSK modulator. Same as pin 1, except complementary input. Ground connection. For best performance, keep traces physically short and connect immediately to ground plane. Bypass connection for the LO. A capacitor of 100pF to ground should be connected to this pin Interface Schematic IF+ IF- BIAS 2 3 4 IFGND LO BYPASS See pin 1. LO LO BYPASS BIAS 5 LO 6 7 GND VCC Balanced LO input pin.

For singleended input operation, one pin is used as an input and the other LO input is AC-coupled to ground. The balanced, as well single-ended, input impedance is 50 Ω. Same as pin 3. Supply voltage pin. External bypassing is required. External RF, LO, and IF bypassing is required. The trace length between the pin and the bypass capacitors should be minimized. The ground side of the bypass capacitors should connect immediately to ground plane. RF output pin. This pin is internally DC-blocked. The output impedance is 50 Ω. 6 MIXERS RF OUT 8 RF OUT Rev B4 010720 6-21 RF2628 Application Schematic 100 pF 1 nF IF+ 1 nF IF2 3 100 pF 4 5 100 pF LO 7 100 pF 6 100 nF 1 8 VCC RF OUT Evaluation Board Schematic 6 MIXERS J1 IF IN 50 Ω µ strip L1 100 nH C3 4 pF (Download Bill of Materials from www.rfmd.com.)
