amnimumdynamcrangeof90dBandacontrolvoltagerange
from0.5to2.5V.TheVGAiscommoninbothmodes(CDMA
andAMPS) byswitchingitsinternalinputbuffers.
I/QDemodulator
.TheI/QDemodulatorisdesignedformobile
handsetapplication.Ithasanon-chipgeneratedVHF LOwitha
typicaloperatingrangeof100to600MHzandatypicalI/Q
outputoperatingrangeof0to5MHz.TheI/QDemodulatoris
internallyconnectedtotheVGAoutput, andisfullydifferentialto
reducecommonmodenoise.DC offsetsbetweendifferentialI/Q
outputs, andbetweenIandQchannels, areextremelylowto
facilitatecompatibilitywithbasebandinterfaces.The
I/QDemodulatorisalsodesignedtohaveverylowamplitude
andphaseimbalance.
VHF Oscillator
.Withexternaltankcircuits, theVCOprovides

(DIV2/DIV4).
ModeControl
.Theoperationofthechipiscontrolledbysignals
atPin7(FM/CDMA), Pin20(SLEEP), andPin13(DIV2/DIV4).
