PRODUCT PREVIEW
The TRF1216 includes a LNA with switchable attenuation, a balanced mixer, a variable gain IF amplifier
and a differential LO Buffer for improved performance. In order to provide exceptional image rejection
and extra jammer immunity, the TRF1216 offers a
signal path to an off-chip filter. Specifications are
provided assuming an in-band 2-dB insertion loss
filter. To maximize input dynamic range, a 10-dB
switchable attenuator is provided in the RF path as
well as 10dB of analog IF gain control. After the
image reject filter, an on-chip balun converts the
signal from single ended to differential in order to
provide better noise immunity at the mixer.

DESCRIPTION
The TRF1216 is the first of two integrated circuits
used in the receiver section of Texas Instruments’
3.5-GHz radio chipset. The TRF1216 down-converts
the 3.5-GHz input frequency to an intermediate frequency in the range of 400 MHz to 500 MHz. The
device provides a differential output that passes
through a SAW filter before connecting to a second
down converter. For the best performance, Texas
Instruments TRF1212 should be used to perform both
the second down conversion and also provide the
Local Oscillator for the TRF1216.
