The MAX2548 quad-band direct-conversion RF-to-bits
radio receiver is designed for 1x (3.84Mcps) and 2x
(7.68Mcps) TDD-WCDMA applications. The part supports
operation in the 915MHz to 921MHz, 1900MHz to
1920MHz, 2010MHz to 2025MHz, and 2050MHz to
2082MHz frequency bands.
The unique RF-to-bits architecture of the MAX2548 integrates
4 LNAs, quadrature mixers, baseband anti-aliasing
filters, programmable gain baseband amplifiers, high
dynamic range I and Q sigma-delta analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs), a fractional-N frequency synthesizer
for local oscillator (LO) generation, and a fractional-N
frequency synthesizer for sampling clock generation.
Data is transferred from the radio to the baseband/DSP
by a digital 1-bit sigma-delta modulated I and Q bit-stream
through an LVDS-like interface. All decimation,
compensation, and channel filtering is performed in the
digital domain in compliance with the MAX-PHY digital
section definition. The operating mode of the radio is fully
programmable by a 3-wire serial interface.
The MAX2548 is specified for operation in the extended
-40°C to +85°C temperature range and is available in a
7mm x 7mm x 1.4mm fcLGA package with exposed
paddle (EP).
