RFT6100 Device Description
The RFT6100 device is a direct conversion
chipset that integrates all the upconversion and
modulation functionality necessary for
CDMA-mode phones operating in cellular and
PCS bands. This transmit chip consists of two
sets of I/Q modulators, one for cellular and one
for the PCS band. The baseband I/Q input from the MSM directly
modulates the cellular or PCS carrier derived from the respective LO
generation circuit.
Both the cellular and PCS output drive their own VGA with a gain
control range of 85 dB. A final cellular driver amplifier provides a
modulated RF output.
To accommodate split-band and filtering, the PCS VGA drives two
output amplifiers that can be selected independently or
simultaneously via an input selectable switch. All RF outputs have
fully integrated 50-ohm matching networks. Integrated on the
RFT6100 is the receiver phase locked loop (PLL), the transmit
PLL and the entire transmit VCO including resonant components.
The VCO drives the LO generation block, which in turn generates
the required local-oscillator signal for all CDMA bands of
operation.
