The RF2861 is a receiver front-end for CDMA cellular
applications, including JCDMA and CDMA450. It is
designed to amplify and downconvert RF signals, using a
three gain state LNA to obtain 17dB of stepped gain con-
trol. Features include digital control of LNA gain and
power down mode, along with an integrated TX LO buffer
amplifier. Another feature of the chip is adjustable IIP3 of
the LNA and mixer using off-chip current setting resistors
to allow for minimum DC current consumption. Noise fig-
ure, IIP3, and other specs are designed to be compatible
with the TIA/EIA 98D standard for CDMA cellular commu-
nications. The IC is manufactured on an advanced Silicon
Germanium Bi-CMOS process and is in a 3mmx3mm,
16-pin, QFN.
