RF3854
LOW NOISE, MULTI-MODE, QUAD-BAND,
QUADRATURE MODULATOR AND PA DRIVER
The RF3854 is a low noise, multi-mode, quad-band direct I/Q to RF modu-
lator and PA driver solution designed for digital modulation applications
ranging from 800MHz to 2000MHz. Frequency doublers, dividers and LO
buffers are included to support a variety of LO generation options.
Dynamic power control is supported through a single analog input giving
90dB of power control range for the W-CDMA mode and 40dB of power
control in the other two modes. Three sets of RF outputs are provided:
high band and low band low noise EDGE/GMSK outputs, as well as one
wideband W-CDMA output. The device is designed for 2.7V to 3.3V opera-
tion, and is assembled in a plastic, 24-pin, 4mmx4mm QFN.
