The ADRF6601 is a 750 MHz to 1160 MHz Rx mixer with integrated fractional-N PLL and VCO. It offers high dynamic range and low single sideband noise, making it suitable for applications such as cellular base stations.
The ADRF6601 is a high‑dynamic‑range active mixer that integrates a fractional‑N phase‑locked loop and voltage‑controlled oscillator. It operates from 750 MHz to 1160 MHz on the internal LO and accepts RF inputs from 300 MHz to 2500 MHz. The device is offered in a 40‑lead, 6 mm × 6 mm LFCSP package and is RoHS‑compliant.
The datasheet provides detailed specifications, pin configurations, timing diagrams, absolute maximum ratings, and programming information for the SPI interface. It also includes application notes for cellular base stations and an evaluation board reference design.
