description
The TRF8010 is an RF transmit driver amplifier for 900-MHz digital, analog, and dual-mode communication
applications. It consists of a two-stage amplifier and a linear ramp controller for burst control in TDMA (time
division multiple access) applications. Very few external components are required for operation.
The TRF8010 amplifies the RF signal from the preceding modulator and upconverter stages in an RF section
of a transmitter to a level that is sufficient to drive a final RF power output device. The output impedance of
RFOUT is approximately 50 Ω. But, since RFOUT is connected to an open-collector output device, minimal
external matching is required.
The device is enabled when the TXEN input is held high. A power control signal applied to the VPC input can
ramp the RF output power up or down to meet ramp and spurious emission specifications in TDMA systems.
The power control signal causes a linear change in output power as the voltage applied to VPC varies between
0 V and 3 V. With the RF input power applied to RFIN at 0 dBm and TXEN high, adjusting VPC from 0 V to
3 V increases the output power from a typical value of –54 dBm at VPC = 0 V to the output power appropriate
for the application:
21 dBm typical for AMPS/NADC (Advanced Mobile Phone Service/North American Digital Cellular)
operation
23 dBm typical for GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) operation
Forward isolation with the RF input power applied to RFIN at 0 dBm, VPC = 0 V, and TXEN high is typically
greater than 50 dB.
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 MOS gates.
