The very high level of integration absorbs all the circuits either difficult to design or those that require production alignment. Adding just an external RF switch makes a complete radio with a digital control interface. On receive, the input is RF, the output is demodulated data. All the LO circuits are integrated, including the VCO tank circuit which Micro Linear tunes in production. For transmit, the chip is digital data in and modulated RF out. To ensure proper functionality in products, all the DC regulation and power management functions are integrated into the ML2721. This chip can be used for 900MHz ISM band applications, as either a 1.1Mbps to 1.6Mbps FSK radio, or a 1.1Mcps direct sequence radio. To extend the radio range, the ML2751 integrates a 100mW PA and a 18dB gain LNA. The ML2751 PA/LNA can implement front-end solutions for many communications products using TDD/TDMA (half duplex radios) in the 600MHz to 1 GHz range and for transmitter powers up to 100mW at 3.0V.
