CMX994EF
– RF Direct Conversion Receiver IC
The CMX994EF replaces the prior generation of direct conversion receiver ICs from CML Micro. CMX994EF has improved PowerTrade™, the ability to dynamically select power vs. performance modes to optimise operating trade-offs. The CMX994EF includes a broadband LNA with gain control followed by a high dynamic range, very high IIP2, I/Q demodulator. The receiver baseband section includes amplifiers and precise, configurable bandwidth, baseband filter stages. LO generation is provided by an integer-N PLL and a VCO negative resistance amplifier; an external LO may also be used. LO dividers are provided for flexible multiband operation. The devices operate from a single 3.3 V supply over a temperature range of –40°C to +85°C and are available in a small 40-pin VQFN (Q4) package.
The CMX994EF includes all the advanced features of the CMX994A and CMX994E including the enhanced performance mode. The CMX994EF has a better transient response on power up/down allowing faster switching on/off allowing improved power-saving capability and operation in TDMA systems, improved LNA performance at frequencies >600 MHz and reduced power consumption specifically at higher operating frequencies.
Devices are available through our Distributor Network.
Features of the CMX994EF - RF Direct Conversion Receiver IC include:
- Replacement for Direct conversion receiver family
- CMX994 – Standard and low power mode
- CMX994A – Standard and additional low power modes
- CMX994E – Enhanced, standard and low power modes

- Extended operation down to 30 MHz
- LNA with gain control
- Local Oscillator
- LO synthesiser
- VCO negative resistance amplifier
- Rx LO divide by 2, 4 or 6 modes
- Tx LO Output with divide by 1, 2, 4, or 6 modes
- Precise filtering with 1:2:4 bandwidth select control
- Small size 40-pin VQFN Package
