The ADRV9040 is a highly integrated, system on chip (SoC) radio frequency (RF) agile transceiver with integrated digital front end (DFE). The SoC contains eight transmitters, two observation receivers to monitor transmitter channels, eight receivers, integrated LO and clock synthesizers, and digital signal processing functions. The SoC meets the high radio performance and low power consumption demanded by cellular infrastructure applications including small cell base-station radios, macro 3G/4G/5G systems, and massive MIMO base stations.

Features

  • Eight differential transmitters (Tx)
  • Eight differential receivers (Rx)
  • Two differential observation receivers (ORx)
  • Tunable range: 600 MHz to 6000 MHz
  • Single-band and Multiband (N x 2T2R/4T4R) capability
  • Four individual band profiles within tunable range (band profiles define bandwidth and aggregate sampling rate of a channel)
  • ADRV9040BBPZ-WB supports DPD for 400 MHz iBW/OBW
  • Simplifying system thermal solution
  1. 13 W power consumption for all blocks enabled (use case is TDD 200 MHz instantaneous bandwidth and 200 MHz occupied bandwidth, with all blocks (DPD, CFR, and CDUC/CDDC) enabled)
  2. 125°C maximum junction temperature for intermittent operation, 110°C for continuous (operating lifetime impact at >110°C can be offset by operation at <110°C based on acceleration factors)
  • Fully integrated DFE (DPD, CDUC, CDDC, and CFR) engine that reduces FPGA resources and halves SERDES lane rate
    • DPD adaptation engine for power amplifier linearization
    • CDUC/CDDC—maximum eight component carriers (CCs) per each transmitter/receiver channel
  • Multistage CFR engine
  • Supports DTx (micro sleep) power saving mode in downlink
  • Supports JESD204B and JESD204C digital interface
  • Multichip phase synchronization for all local oscillator (LO) and baseband clocks
  • Dual fully integrated fractional-N RF synthesizers
  • Fully integrated clock synthesizer
