The TQ5622 is a 3V, RF receiver IC designed specifically for PCS band TDMA
applications. It’s RF performance meets the requirements for products designed to the
IS-136 TDMA standards. The TQ5622 includes a power–down mode which allows
current saving during standby and the non-operating portion of the TDMA pulse. The
TQ5622 contains LNA and Mixer circuits matched to the 1900MHz PCS band.
The mixer uses a high-side LO frequency. The IF has a usable frequency range of 85
to 150MHz. The LNA Output and Mixer Input ports are internally matched to simplify
the design and keep the number of external components to a minimum. The TQ5622
achieves excellent RF performance with low current consumption which gives long
standby times in portable applications. The small QSOP-16 package is ideally suited
for PCS band mobile phones.

LNA Input Match
The designer can make some Noise Figure and Gain trade off
by varying the off chip LNA input matching circuit values and
topology. This allows the TQ5622 to be optimized for specific
system requirements.
The output of the LNA is intended to be connected directly to an
image reject filter. Depending on the filter, additional
components may be needed to better match to the LNA output.

TriQuint has found that LO leakage through the Mixer RF input
