The IC contains all of the required components to implement the RF functions of the receiver except for the passive filtering and LO generation. It contains an LNA (low-noise amplifier), a second RF amplifier, a dual-gate GaAs FET mixer, and an IF output buffer amplifier which will drive a 50 load. In addition, the IF buffer amplifier may be disabled and a high impedance output is provided for easy matching to IF filters with high impedances. The output of the LNA is made available as an output to permit the insertion of a bandpass filter between the LNA and the RF/Mixer section. The LNA section may be disabled by removing the VDD1 connection to the IC.

This pin is NOT internally DC-blocked. An external blocking capacitor must be provided if the pin is connected to a device with DC present. A DC path to ground (i.e. an inductor or resistor to ground) is, however, acceptable at this pin. If a blocking capacitor is required, a value of 22pF is recommended. Interface Schematic LNA IN 2 3 GND VDD1 Ground connection. Keep traces physically short and connect immediately to ground plane for best performance. Supply Voltage for the LNA only. A 22pF external bypass capacitor is required and an additional 0.01F is required if no other low frequency bypass capacitors are near by. The trace length between the pin and the bypass capacitors should be minimized. The ground side of the bypass capacitors should connect immediately to ground plane. For large input signals, VDD1 may be disconnected, resulting in the LNA's gain changing from +11dB to -26dB and current drain decreasing by 4mA. If the LNA is never required for use, then this pin can be left unconnected or grounded, and Pin 11 is used as the first input. Power supply for the IF buffer amplifier. If the high impedance mixer output is being used, then this pin is not connected. If this pin is connected to ground, an internal 10pF capacitor is connected in parallel with the mixer output. This capacitor functions as an LO trap, which reduces the amount of LO to IF bleed-through and prevents high LO voltages at the mixer output from degrading the mixer's dynamic range. At higher IF frequencies, this capacitance, along with parasitic layout capacitance, should be parallel resonated out by the choice of the bias inductor value at pin 7. If the internal capacitor is not connected to ground, the buffer amplifier could become unstable. A ~10pF capacitor should be added at the output to maintain the buffer's stability, but the gain will not be significantly affected. 50 buffered (open source) output port, one of two output options. Pin 7 must have a bias resistor to VDD and pin 6 must have a bias resistor to ground (see Buffered Output Application Schematic) in order to turn the buffer amplifier on. Current drain will increase by approximately 8mA at 5V, and by approximately 5mA at 3V. It is recommended that these bias resistors be less than 1k. High impedance (open drain) output port, one of two output options. This pin must be connected to VDD through a resistor or inductor in order to bias the mixer, even when using IF2 Output. In addition, a 0.01F bypass capacitor is required at the other end of the bias resistor or inductor. The ground side of the bypass capacitor should connect immediately to ground plane. This output is intended to drive high impedance IF filters. The recommended matching network is shunt L, series C (see the application schematic, high impedance output). This topology will provide matching, bias, and DC-blocking. Mixer LO input. A high-pass matching network, such as a single shunt inductor (as shown in the application schematics), is the recommended topology because it also rejects IF noise at the mixer input. This filtering is required to achieve the specified noise figures. This pin is NOT internally DC-blocked. An external blocking capacitor must be provided if the pin is connected to a device with DC present. A DC path to ground (i.e. an inductor or resistor to ground) is, however, acceptable at this pin. If a blocking capacitor is required, a value of 22pF is recommended. Connection for the external bypass capacitor for the mixer RF input preamp. 1000pF is recommended. The trace length between the pin and the capacitor should be minimized. The ground side of the bypass capacitor should connect immediately to ground plane. 4 5 VDD2 IF BYP 6 IF2 OUT IF2 OUT 7 IF1 OUT IF1 OUT 8 LO IN LO IN 9 RF BYP 4 of 12 7628 Thorndike Road, Greensboro, NC 27409-9421 * For sales or technical support, contact RFMD at (+1) 336-678-5570 or sales-support@rfmd.com. Rev A7 DS060203 RF2418 Pin 10 11 Function GND RF IN Description Same as pin 2. Mixer RF Input port. For a 50 match at 900MHz use a 15nH series inductor. This pin is NOT internally DC-blocked. An external blocking capacitor must be provided if the pin is connected to a device with DC present. A DC path to ground (i.e. an inductor or resistor to ground) is, however, acceptable at this pin. If a blocking capacitor is required, a value of 22pF is recommended.To minimize the mixer's noise figure, it is recommended to have a RF bandpass filter before this input. This will prevent the noise at the image frequency from being converted to the IF. Same as pin 2. Same as pin 2. 50 output. Internally DC-blocked.
