RFFC5071/5072 WIDEBAND SYNTHESIZER/VCO WITH INTEGRATED 6GHz MIXER Package: QFN, 32-Pin, 5mm x 5mm RFFC5071 RFFC5072 Features 85MHz to 4200MHz LO Frequency Range Phase Phase Fractional-N Synthesizer with Synth Synth det. det. Very Low Spurious Levels Typical Step Size 1.5Hz Fully Integrated Low Phase Noise VCO and LO Buffers Ref. Ref. Integrated Phase Noise divider divider 0.18 rms at 1GHz 0.50 rms at 3GHz High Linearity RF Mixer(s) Functional Block Diagram 30MHz to 6000MHz Mixer Frequency Range Product Description Input IP3 +23dBm The RFFC5071 and RFFC5072 are re-configurable frequency conversion devices Mixer Bias Adjustable for Low with integrated fractional-N phased locked loop (PLL) synthesizer, voltage con- Power Operation trolled oscillator (VCO) and either one or two high linearity mixers. The fractional-N Full Duplex Mode (RFFC5071) synthesizer takes advantage of an advanced sigma-delta modulator that delivers ultra-fine step sizes and low spurious products. The PLL/VCO engine combined with 2.7V to 3.3V Power Supply an external loop filter allows the user to generate local oscillator (LO) signals from Low Current Consumption 85MHz to 4200MHz. The LO signal is buffered and routed to the integrated RF mix- ers which are used to up/down-convert frequencies ranging from 30MHz to 3- or 4-Wire Serial Interface 6000MHz. The mixer bias current is programmable and can be reduced for applica- tions requiring lower power consumption. Both devices can be configured to work Applications as signal sources by bypassing the integrated mixers. Device programming is Wideband Radios achieved via a simple 3-wire serial interface. In addition, a unique programming mode allows up to four devices to be controlled from a common serial bus. This Distributed Antenna Systems eliminates the need for separate chip-select control lines between each device and Diversity Receivers the host controller. Up to six general purpose outputs are provided, which can be Software Defined Radios used to access internal signals (the LOCK signal, for example) or to control front end components. Both devices operate with a 2.7V to 3.3V power supply.
