IF output: 50 – 400 MHz
• High conversion gain (14 dB)
• 2.7 – 5.0 V operation
General Description
The HPMX-7123 downconverter,
part of the
CDMAdvantage
RF
chipset, offers a highly integrated
solution for PCS handsets. This
integrated solution leads to
improvement in cost and reliabil-
ity. The HPMX-7123 has a high IP3
which is highly desirable for
CDMA high dynamic range
receivers with good noise and
spurious suppression.
The chip is comprised of an RF
input LNA followed by a wideband
mixer. The output of the
downconverter is differential
providing common mode rejec-
tion. The outputs are high imped-
ance open collectors.
HPMX-7123 features a current
control through a DC voltage, Vcs,
to accommodate varying linearity
requirements. If used dynamically,
current control reduces the
overall current consumption
maximizing battery life. In addi-
tion input linearity can be in-
creased by adding inductance to
the combined pin 2 and pin 3.
The IC is housed in a miniature
BCC-16 package and manufac-
tured on high frequency, low noise
Si-Bipolar process (25 GHz Ft).
• Low & adjustable current: 6 – 18 mA
