F1792NLGI

RF Mixers Overview

The F1792NLGI is a wideband RF mixer IC designed for frequency conversion in wireless communication systems. It operates with an RF range of 400 MHz to 3800 MHz, LO range of 400 MHz to 3600 MHz, and IF range of 50 MHz to 600 MHz. The device features four gain settings: 11 dB, 8 dB, 5 dB, and 2 dB, controlled via a 2-bit interface. It delivers +35 dBm OIP3 and utilizes FlatNoise™ technology for low noise figure across all gain states. The component supports independent path standby mode with 75 nsec settling time and operates on a single BOM for all frequencies.

RF Mixers Feature Summary

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix NLGI against official Renesas documentation to confirm package type and assembly location. Ensure compatibility with evaluation boards such as the F1792EVBI for initial system testing. Confirm supply chain sources directly with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components. Check for recent product change notices regarding material sets or alternate assembly sites that may affect part specifications.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring broad RF bandwidth without multiple discrete mixers. The integrated gain control simplifies biasing networks compared to variable gain amplifiers. Consider the 4 mm x 4 mm TQFN package size for space-constrained layouts. Evaluate the need for external baluns if impedance matching between the 200 ohm IF port and standard 50 ohm systems is required.

RF Mixers Part Context

The F1792NLGI belongs to the VersaMixer family from Renesas Electronics, formerly IDT. This series targets applications needing flexible frequency conversion capabilities. The device integrates internal matching networks to reduce external component count. It represents a shift towards highly integrated RF solutions that simplify bill of materials and design complexity for modern communication hardware.
