The RF2489 is a high performance CDMA dual-band/trimode integrated LNA/mixer. The device is designed to
meet all IS-98 sensitivity, intermodulation and single-tone
requirements. The operating voltage is 2.7V and is compatible with 1.8V logic for control lines. The RF2489 integrates the dual-band LNA/downconverters with 30dB of
gain control and TX LO buffers. Additionally, a divide-by-2
prescaler to allow the use of a single-band VCO is integrated. The design is flexible, in that the bias currents
may be set using off-chip current reference resistors for
both the LNA and mixer blocks. The device is packaged in
a 5mmx5mm leadless plastic package.

Application Note 1
The PCS TX LO output pin (pin 7) and the CELL TX LO output pin (pin 8) can be combined. When BAND SEL is set low,
the PCS band LO limiter and PCS TX LO buffer are off. Also, when BAND SEL is set high, the cellular band LO limiter
and frequency divider are off as well as the cellular TX LO buffer. The LO leakage through the path of the disabled LO
limiter/divider and TX LO buffer is insignificant.
Typical LO isolation test data follows:
LO Input Frequency=2128MHz, PIN =-4dBm, BAND SEL=0, /2 SELECT=1
POUTPIN8 =-28dBm at 2128MHz
POUTPIN8 =-11dBm at 1064MHz
POUTPIN7 =-34dBm at 2128MHz

low and pin 5 is high. Pin 5 can be tied to a high state allowing BAND

Cellular LNA emitter. A small inductor connects this pin to ground. Cellular LNA gain can be adjusted by the inductance.
See pin 22.
Cellular LNA output. Simple external L-C matching required.
See pin 22.
Resistor to ground sets both LNA and mixer currents. Lower resistance
results in lower currents for both the LNA and mixer.
Resistor to ground sets LNA current. Higher resistance results in lower
current.
Low-inductance ground required.
Cellular mixer RF single-end input. External L-C network required for
best performance.
VCC for internal references, logic, and mixer preamplifiers. Internal RF
bypass capacitor. External bypass capacitor between 1nF and 47nF
required.
Logic input. High level selects PCS band; low level selects cellular
band. The LO divider circuitry is disabled when BAND SEL is high,
regardless of the state of pin 5 (/2 SELECT). When BAND SEL is low,
pin 5 can be selected high or low. If using a single LO input, pin 5 can
be tied to a high state allowing BAND SEL to control the LO divider
function.
Logic input. High selects external LNA current reference set by the
resistor connected from ISET2 to ground.

Output Interface Network
L1, C1, and R form a current combiner which performs a differential to single-ended conversion at the
IF frequency and sets the output impedance. In most
cases, the resonance frequency is independent of R
and can be set according to the following equation:
1
fIF =
2π
L1
(C1 + C EQ)
2
Where CEQ is the equivalent stray capacitance and
capacitance looking into pins 1 and 2. An average
value to use for CEQ is 2.5pF to 3pF.
R can then be used to set the output impedance
according to the following equation:
R=
( 4 R1
OUT
Rev A10 011017
- 1
RP
) -1
where ROUT is the desired output impedance and RP
is the parasitic equivalent parallel resistance of L1.
C1 should be chosen as high as possible (not greater
than 22pF), while maintaining an RP of L1 that allows
for the desired ROUT.
L2 and C2 serve dual purposes. L2 serves as an output bias choke, and C2 serves as a series DC block.
In addition, L2 and C2 may be chosen to form an
impedance matching network if the input impedance
of the IF filter is not equal to ROUT. Otherwise, L2 is
chosen to be large, and C2 is chosen to be large if a
DC path to ground is present in the IF filter, or omitted
if the filter is DC blocked.
