RF chipset targets cordless phone apps

Requiring no software or mechanical tuning, an RF chipset-consisting of the ATR2820 SiGe transceiver IC and the ATR7040 power amplifier-targets cordless telephone applications in the 5.8-GHz frequency band. Housed in a 32-pin QFN package, the 5.8-GHz ATR2820 features a transmit output power of 5 dB, a sensitivity of -97 dBm, a data rate capability of 1,152 kbits/s, and a supply range of 2.9 to 3.6 V.

The ATR7040 offers an output power of 25 dBm at 5.8 GHz, an input power of typically 0 dBm, a frequency range of 5 to 6 GHz, and a typical gain of 30 dB. Available in a 16-pin QFN package, the ATR7040 also features a power consumption of less than 1 µA in power-down mode and a VCC voltage of 2.7 to 3.8 V. (From $5.70 ea/10,000 – available now.)
