ML2712 2.4GHz RF Transceiver
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML2712 combined with the ML2713 form a FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) 2.4 GHz radio chipset. The ML2712 contains the RF and PLL circuits for a half duplex radio transceiver solution for IEEE802.11 and other wireless communication protocols using the 2.4 GHz ISM band. The ML2712 is controlled using a three-wire programming interface and three control lines. The transmit circuits feature an RF down converter for a transmit frequency translation loop and a Wideband Phase Detector for a directly modulated VCO transmitter. An RF down converter mixer is provided for receive. All frequency generation circuits are integrated for the RF conversion, the 1LO VCO and PLL plus a 2LO VCO and PLL for use in dual conversion radios.
