CX74037
Transmit RF IC for TDMA or AMPS Applications
Conexant’s CX74037 Transmit RF Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) is
a triple-mode, dual-band transmitter intended for use in IS-136 compliant cellular
phones. As a dual mode IC, it can be used in Time Division Multiple Access
(TDMA) mode or Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) mode. The device is
available in a 48-pin 7x7 Land Grid Array (LGA) package with downset paddle.
The CX74037 RF IC device includes the following functional components:
•
•
•
•
•
In-Phase and Quadrature (I/Q) modulator
Two Intermediate Frequency (IF) Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) inputs
IF Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA)
Two upconverters
Two drivers for external Power Amplifiers (PAs).
Features
•
Sectional enable lines for independent control of
circuits within the chip
•
90 dB IF VGA range
•
Separate IF frequencies can be used for the 800
MHz (AMPS) and 1900 MHz Bands (PCS)
•
Dual drivers for 800 MHz and 1900 MHz
•
PA driver is deactivated by using the Driver Enable
signal when there is no transmission
•
Available in a 48-pin, 7x7 LGA package with
downset paddle
Applications
•
Cellular and/or PCS-band phones
•
TDMA and/or AMPS-mode phones
•
Portable battery powered equipment
The CX74037 48-pin, 7x7 LGA package pin configuration is shown in Figure 1. A
CX74037 block diagram is shown in Figure 2.
