The CMX994 is a direct conversion receiver IC. It includes a broadband LNA with gain control followed by a high dynamic range I/Q demodulator. The receiver baseband section includes amplifiers and precise baseband filter stages. LO generation is provided by an integer-N PLL and a VCO negative resistance amplifier; an external LO may also be used. LO dividers are provided for flexible multi-band operation.

The device operates from a single 3.3V supply over a temperature range of –40℃ to +85℃ and is available in a small 40-pin VQFN (Q4) package.

EV9942評估板

The EV9942 allows the user to investigate all aspects of the CMX994 integrated circuit, which implements a high-performance direct conversion receiver. The evaluation kit also includes additional circuits that may be used to evaluate system performance, a Fractional-N PLL and a high-frequency VCO.

Access is provided to all CMX994 RF, baseband and control signals by either connector or test points.

Test access points are available to accept common test equipments, such as RF and baseband signal generators and spectrum analysers. All signal paths are matched by suitable components. The overall frequency range of this evaluation kit is for RF frequencies between 100MHz and 600MHz, with default operation at 448MHz.

The CMX994 is controlled via its C-BUS serial interface. The PE0002 Interface Card is available separately to support PC-based control of the EV9942. The PE0002 uses ES9942xx.exe PC software, part of the ES9942xx.zip file, which is available from the CML website.
