The RF2492 is a fully featured dual-band LNA/Mixer and
is usable in a variety of mobile handset applications. The
unique dual IF outputs provide interface to two independent IF SAW filters supporting applications such as
TDMA-EDGE where 30kHz and 200kHz bandwidth SAW
filters are used. With independent power management
control pins for the LNAs and mixers, either IF output can
be accessed from either high- or low-band LNAs, providing maximum flexibility with minimum power usage. Multiple gain control options are provided to achieve a very
large dynamic range for the receiver. A frequency doubler
is included in the LO circuit to generate both high- and
low-band LO signals with a single VCO. The RF2492 is
packaged in a 32 pin, 5mmx5mm, leadless plastic package.

NOTES:
1. C1's are not needed if filter DC impedance is open circuit (as is normally the case).
2. C2's are not needed if duplexer DC impedance is open circuit (as is normally the case).
3. IF interface shown is 50 Ω @ 110 MHz.
