Description
The BT1074Bi is a BiCMOS monolithic integrated RF transceiver. In addition to the input I/Q interface, the
IC contains all of the required components to implement a complete RF-IF transceiver. This includes two
on-chip local oscillators, a low noise amplifier with an overall noise figure of less than 5dB over tempera-
ture and power supply variations, two highly linear down-conversion mixers, an IF amplifier, an upconver-
sion mixer and an on-chip power amplifier capable of delivering -4dBm to +17dBm. The unit operates with
a power supply voltage range of 2.7 - 3.6 volts.

Detailed Pin Description:
RECEIVER
RF_INP and RF_INN (Pin 4 and Pin 2)
RF Differential Inputs
RF_INP and RF_INN are the differential inputs of the LNA. An AC coupling capacitor of 100pF is required.
RF differential inputs are generated by an external phase-splitter circuit, but for a single RF input, the LNA
can be biased, as shown in the
Application Circuit.
For optimum performance, the component lead
length of the external phase-splitter circuit and PCB traces to the LNA input pins should be minimized.
Also, the ground plane must surround the phase -splitter circuit to prevent noise coupling from other cir-
cuits. The frequency range is from 890MHz to 940MHz.
RMX_OUTP and RMX_OUTN (Pin 58 and Pin 57)
First IF Differential Outputs
These are the differential outputs of the internal IF buffers. With the external IF combiner circuit as shown
in the
Application Circuit,
the differential outputs become a single-ended output to drive a 110.592MHz
Bandpass SAW filter. These internal IF buffers have open-drain outputs to drive an input impedance of a
300Ω BPF through the external combiner circuit.
MIXERINP (Pin 54)
Second IF Amplifier Input
The output of a 110.592MHz BPF SAW filter is connected to this pin for the second stage downconversion.
No AC coupling is required.
