DESCRIPTION

The SA900 is a monolithic high performance, multi-function transmit

modulator for use in cellular radio applications, fabricated in QUBiC

BiCMOS technology. The SA900 features both analog (AMPS)

mode and complex, I/Q digital (NADC IS–136) mode quadrature

modulation functions, a PLL synthesizer with VCO, crystal oscillator,

programmable prescalers and Gilbert cell multiplier phase detector

with programmable charge pump output. The DUALTX output can

be used in DUAL mode cellular phone applications with the AMPS

and NADC modulation being applied to the I/Q baseband inputs.

The DUALTX output also provides 6-bit power control with 40dB of

gain control in 0.63dB steps. In addition, buffered crystal oscillator

programmable prescaler outputs are provided to support system

clock reference needs. Programming of the SA900 functions are

realized by a high speed 3-wire serial interface. The SA900 can be

programmed into a sleep mode (low current mode providing crystal

oscillator and Master Clock functions), a standby mode (providing

crystal oscillator, Master Clock, System Clock 1 and Transmit LO

buffer functions), and the AMPS mode and the DUAL mode

configurations.
