RFFC5072ATR13

Overview

The RFFC5072ATR13 is a reconfigurable frequency conversion device manufactured by Qorvo. It integrates a fractional-N phased locked loop (PLL) synthesizer and a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The component operates with a local oscillator frequency range of 85 MHz to 4.2 GHz. The radio frequency input spans 30 MHz to 6 GHz, while the intermediate frequency output covers 30 MHz to 6 GHz. It features a noise figure of 15 dB and a gain of -2 dB. The device functions within a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.3 V, drawing an operating current of 132 mA at 3 V. It supports temperatures from -40 C to +85 C and utilizes a 32-QFN (5x5) surface mount package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a fractional-N PLL synthesizer and VCO for direct frequency synthesis
• Supports dual-mode operation as both a mixer and detector
• Enables reconfigurable frequency conversion across wide RF and IF bands

Applications

• LTE wireless communication systems
• WiMax broadband access networks
• Direct conversion receiver architectures
• Software-defined radio platforms

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ATR13' against official Qorvo documentation to confirm reel packaging specifications and tape-and-reel dimensions. Ensure compatibility with standard SMD/SMT assembly processes. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's environmental declarations prior to integration into regulated electronic assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-chip solution combining frequency synthesis and downconversion is required. It is suitable for designs needing integrated LO generation without external synthesizers. Consider the 32-QFN footprint for board space constraints. Evaluate the 132 mA current consumption against system power budgets for portable or battery-operated applications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the RFFC5072 series of reconfigurable frequency converters. It is designed to simplify RF front-end design by merging synthesizer and mixer functions. The series targets high-performance wireless infrastructure and mobile broadband markets. Related development tools include the DKFC5072A evaluation kit for performance validation.
