June 16, 2010
MB86L10A transceiver eliminates 3G and LTE TX and RX inter-stage SAW filters and low-noise amplifiers.

Supporting 3GPP LTE/WCDMA/EGPRS wireless phones, the MB86L10A transceiver eliminates 3G and LTE TX and RX inter-stage SAW filters and low-noise amplifiers. The single-chip transceiver features backward compatibility with a high-level API for radio control using DigRF/MIPI D3G and D4G open standard digital interfaces, making the device compatible with a wide range of industry basebands. It includes eight outputs that directly drive the power amplifier, eliminating the need for TX SAW filters while simultaneously supporting advanced multimode power amps. The receiver provides nine inputs that support LTE, WCDMA, and GSM/EDGE and the RF front end eliminates the need for LNAs and SAW filters. Five additional ports enable RX diversity in WCDMA and LTE modes. Additionally, the receiver incorporates anti-aliasing filters, digital channel filters, digital gain control, and high-dynamic-range ADCs. Samples of the MB86L10A are available in 230-pin, 6.5 mm x 9 mm x 0.9 mm LGA packages. For pricing, call FUJITSU MICROELECTRONICS AMERICA INC., Sunnyvale, CA. (800) 866-8608.
