BRF6100 Single-Chip Solution

• Digital RF Processing (DRP) technology:
  • 90% digital (including loop filter)
  • RF Built-in Self Test (BIST)
  • Process: 0.13u CMOS
• Lowest power consumption:
  • RF TX 25 mA and RF RX 37 mA @ 1.8V
  • Deep sleep 25uA (including LDO)
  • HV3 < 25 mW
• Highly optimized for cellular:
  • Lowest solution cost
  • Less than 15 external passives
  • Actual layout area less than 75 mm² (FR4)
  • Automatically detects fast clock frequencies from 8 MHz to 40 Mhz (20 KHz to 40 KHz granularity)
• Full throughput from all cellular clocks (723.2 Kbps in DH5)
• Sensitivity: -85dBm (0.1% BER)
• Bluetooth specification v1.1 certified (class 2 and 3)
• 1.7 - 3.6V unregulated supply voltage
• On-chip LDO power regulators
• -40ºC to + 85ºC Bluetooth certified operating temperature
• Collaboration I/F with 802.11b
• Seamless integration with TI’s mobile wireless LAN, OMAP Platform, TCS chipset solutions

The advance architecture leverages the TI 0.13u digital CMOS process while taking advantages of the unique high performance process properties for digital RF processing.

This high level of integration allows the solution form factor to drop below 90mm² which is achieved through the integration of power management, PLL, loop filter, antenna switch, filters and other analog functions that were previously external.
