Lime introduces transceiver IC for femtocells
Lime Microsystems
LMS6002D transceiver IC
Lime Microsystems has launched the LMS6002D, a multi-band multi-standard RF transceiver IC designed for small cell base stations and femtocells.
This single-chip transceiver solution features integrated high-performance dual ADC and DAC, and delivers increased levels of integration over the company's analogue version - the LMS6002.
The high-frequency, agile transceiver operates at user-selectable frequencies between 375MHz and 4GHz, and is suitable for 3G, Wimax and LTE operation.
The LMS6002D can be digitally configured to operate in the full range of frequency bands between 375MHz and 4GHz, with 16 user-selectable bandwidths of up to 28MHz.
It can therefore transmit and receive data across all WCDMA and CDMA bands, as well as those used or planned for Wimax and LTE.
This removes the need for individual transceiver chips for each of the different bands and allows a small cell base station to be reconfigured rapidly and simply.
The resulting reduction in bill of materials reduces costs and inventory for OEMs.
The LMS6002D features high-performance dual 12-bit ADC and DAC blocks, which provide the necessary multiplexed parallel interface to all currently available baseband ICs on the market for femtocell applications.
It is packaged in a 9 x 9mm 116-pin DQFN package and is available alongside an evaluation platform and reference design.
