LMS8001A is designed to extend the RF frequency range of Lime's LMS7002M and LMS6002D Lime FPRF transceivers. However, it can bring greater flexibility in system design and may also be used with other transceiver platforms.
Summary of features:
- Single chip up/down RF frequency shifter with continuous coverage up to 10 GHz RF output range
- Four independent RF paths all driven by the same LO
- Fully differential signals
- Few external components
- Low voltage operation, 1.2 and 1.8V. Integrated LDOs to run on a single 1.8 V supply
- 56 pin QFN package
- Serial Port Interface
- Power down control available via ENABLE pins and/or equivalent SPI registers
- Synchronous loading of pre-set operation profiles by GPIO pins. More options are also available using corresponding SPI registers
- LO can be generated by on chip PLL or external LO from dedicated RF LO input pin
- Integrated on chip PLL loop filter
- Low power consumption
