GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADRV9006 is a highly integrated RF transceiver that has

dual-channel transmitters, dual-channel receivers, integrated synthesizers, and digital signal processing functions.

The ADRV9006 is a high performance, highly linear, high dynamic

range transceiver designed for performance vs. power consumption

system optimization. The device is configurable and ideally suited

to demanding, low power, portable and battery powered equipment.

The ADRV9006 operates from 30 MHz to 6000 MHz and covers the

UHF, VHF, industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) bands, and cellular frequency bands in narrow-band (kHz) and wideband operation

up to 40 MHz. The ADRV9006 is capable of both TDD and FDD

operation.

The transceiver consists of direct conversion signal paths with

state-of-the-art noise figure and linearity. Each complete receiver

and transmitter subsystem includes DC offset correction, quadrature error correction (QEC), and programmable digital filters, which

eliminate the need for these functions in the digital baseband. In addition, several auxiliary functions, such as auxiliary analog-to-digital

converters (ADCs), auxiliary digital-to-analog converters (DACs),

and general-purpose inputs/outputs (GPIOs), are integrated to provide additional monitoring and control capability.

The fully integrated phase-locked loops (PLLs) provide high performance, low power, fractional-N frequency synthesis for the transmitter, receiver, and clock sections. Careful design and layout techniques provide the isolation required in high performance personal

radio applications.

All voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and loop filter components

are integrated to minimize the external component count. The

local oscillators (LOs) have flexible configuration options including

various power modes.

The transceiver includes configurable power saving modes that extend battery life of portable devices by reducing power consumption

during periods of channel or device inactivity.

The ADRV9006 core can be powered directly from 1.0 V, 1.3

V, and 1.8 V regulators and is controlled via a standard 4-wire

serial peripheral interface (SPI). Other voltage supplies are used to

provide proper digital interface levels and to optimize the receiver,

transmitter, and auxiliary converter performance.

High data rate and low data rate interfaces are supported using

configurable CMOS or low voltage differential signaling (LVDS)

serial synchronous interface (SSI) choice.

The ADRV9006 is packaged in a 12 mm × 12 mm, 196-ball chip

scale package ball grid array (CSP_BGA).
