The RF2860 is a broadband receiver front-end designed for CDMA PCS applications. The broadband design makes it a great solution as well for GPS, IMT-2000 and 2.4GHz applications. It is designed to amplify and downconvert RF signals, while providing 21.5dB of stepped gain control range. Features include digital control of LNA gain, TX buffer/enable, and power down mode. Another feature of the chip is the ability to set the bias point and RF performance of the LNA and mixer through the ISET1 and ISET2 resistors respectively. Noise figure, IIP3, and gain are designed to exceed the IS-98 interim standard requirement for CDMA PCS communications. The IC is manufactured on an advanced Silicon Germanium Bi-CMOS process and is in a 3mmx3mm, 16-pin, leadless chip carrier.
