description
The TRF1020 is a single-chip radio frequency (RF) downconverter suitable for 900-MHz GSM applications. It
combines in one small package an LNA, an RF mixer, an IF mixer, two IF amplifiers, an I and Q mixer, and one
buffered VCO. The TRF1020 requires few external components.
The LNA has a nominal gain of 12.4 dB and noise figure of 2.1 dB. The first RF mixer has a conversion gain
of 13.4 dB and a single-sideband (SSB) noise figure of 8.3 dB. The IF amplifiers have combined variable gain
from 0 to 84 dB in approximately 3-dB steps. The IF amplifier frequency range is 40 to 180 MHz for the first IF
amplifier and 10 to 180 MHz for the second IF amplifier. The local oscillator of the I and Q mixer operates at four
times the last frequency of the IF mixer.
Power consumption is kept to a minimum and can be further reduced by dynamically placing selected functions
in standby power-down mode when not required. Power-down control is provided through the three-line digital
serial interface.
These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the gates.
