a
900 MHz RF Transceiver
AD6190
T he receiver section includes a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA).
T he LNA’s output drives an image-reject mixer; the mixer’s
output optimized for 10.7 MHz is filtered and processed by the
limiting IF amplifier.

T he transmit section accepts a modulated 10.7 MHz IF input,
and uses an image-reject upconverter to mix the signal up to the
902 MHz–928 MHz RF carrier frequency while suppressing the
unwanted image and LO components. T he RF output is raised
to a nominal 0.5 milliwatt (–3 dBm) output level. T his output
can be used directly or can drive an external power amplifier to
higher levels.
T he on-chip VCO operates at 2× the local oscillator frequency.
T his reduces oscillator pulling due to strong interferers in-band
or transmitter leakage. An on-chip 64/65 prescaler allows the
VCO to be controlled by a low cost 15 MHz CMOS synthesizer.
APPLICATIONS
902 MHz–928 MHz ISM Band Cordless Telephones
902 MHz–928 MHz ISM Band Wireless Data System s
An on-chip low dropout regulator minimizes VCO pushing. T he
transmit section, receive section, or both, can be placed in a low
current SLEEP mode when not in use. T he AD6190 900 MHz
RF transceiver is packaged in a 28-lead SSOP package.
GENERAL D ESCRIP TIO N
T he AD6190 900 MHz RF T ransceiver provides a complete
RF/IF section for systems operating in the 902 MHz–928 MHz
license-free ISM band. The high level of integration allows several
dozen discrete components to be replaced. It is ideally suited
for use in cordless telephone and wireless data applications.
T he AD6190 900 MHz RF T ransceiver is part of the Analog
Devices/Zilog “A-to-Z Phone” Spread-Spectrum System for
cordless telephone and data communications applications. Con-
tact Zilog directly at (408) 370-8000 for more information on
the Z87000 series baseband controller chips.
