T0797
Description
The T0797 is a multi-purpose demodulator RFIC. The silicon monolithic integrated circuit is a designed in Atmels advanced SiGe technology. This demodulator is capable
of both quadrature demodulation or direct IF output. Features include switchable gain
control on a frequency range from 65 MHz to 300 MHz. The device performs a very
low amplitude as well as phase error and allows high input P1dB. The T0797 targets a
variety of system applications for communications including 3G wireless.

Ozone Depleting Substances Policy Statement
It is the policy of Atmel Germany GmbH to
1. Meet all present and future national and international statutory requirements.
2. Regularly and continuously improve the performance of our products, processes, distribution and operating systems
with respect to their impact on the health and safety of our employees and the public, as well as their impact on
the environment.
It is particular concern to control or eliminate releases of those substances into the atmosphere which are known as
ozone depleting substances (ODSs).
The Montreal Protocol (1987) and its London Amendments (1990) intend to severely restrict the use of ODSs and forbid
their use within the next ten years. Various national and international initiatives are pressing for an earlier ban on these
substances.
Atmel Germany GmbH has been able to use its policy of continuous improvements to eliminate the use of ODSs listed
in the following documents.
1. Annex A, B and list of transitional substances of the Montreal Protocol and the London Amendments respectively
2. Class I and II ozone depleting substances in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) in the USA
3. Council Decision 88/540/EEC and 91/690/EEC Annex A, B and C (transitional substances) respectively.
Atmel Germany GmbH can certify that our semiconductors are not manufactured with ozone depleting substances and
do not contain such substances.
