VGA + I/Q Demodulator Rx ASIC for Portable Phone Applications

The CX74005 Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) is a Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA) and I/Q demodulator, intended for use in Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) portable phones in both cellular and Personal Communications System (PCS) bands. As a trimode IC, it can be used in CDMA mode or Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) mode.
The device incorporates a VGA and the In-Phase and Quadrature (I/Q) demodulator stages. The intermediate frequencies (IF) are combined through separate buffers at the input of the VGA depending on the selected mode. The VGA has a gain control range greater than 90 dB.
