SA3600 Overview
The SA3600 is an integrated dual-band RF front-end that operates at both cellular (AMPS and TDMA) and PCS (TDMA) frequencies, and is designed in a 20 GHz fT BiCMOS process QUBiC2. The low-band (LB) receiver is a bined low-noise amplifier (LNA) and mixer. The LNA has a 1.7 dB noise figure (NF) at 881 MHz with 17 dB of gain and an IIP3 of 7 dBm.
SA3600 Key Features
- Low current consumption: LB ICC = 14.5 mA; HB ICC = 20.5 mA
- Outstanding low- and high-band noise figure
- LNAs with gain control (30 dB gain step)
- LO input and output buffers
- Selectable frequency doubler
- On chip logic for network selection and power down
- Very small outline package
SA3600 Applications
- 800 to 1000 MHz analog and digital receivers
- 1800 to 2000 MHz digital receivers
