The LMX3162 Single Chip Radio Transceiverisamonolithic,
integrated radio transceiver optimized for use in ISM 2.45
GHz wireless systems. It is fabricated using National’s ABiC
V BiCMOS process (f
The LMX3162 contains phase locked loop (PLL), transmit
and receive functions. The 1.3 GHz PLL is shared between
transmit and receive sections. The transmitter includes a frequency doubler, and a high frequency buffer. The receiver
consists of a 2.5 GHz low noise mixer, an intermediate frequency (IF) amplifier, a high gain limiting amplifier, a frequency discriminator, a received signal strength indicator
(RSSI), and an analog DC compensation loop. The PLL,
doubler, and buffers can be used to implement open loop
modulation along with an external VCO and loop filter. The
circuit features on-chip voltage regulation to allow supply
voltages ranging from 3.0V to 5.5V. Two additional voltage
regulators provide a stable supply source to external discrete stages in the Tx and Rx chains.
The IF amplifier, high gain limiting amplifier, and discriminator are optimized for 110 MHz operation, with a total IF gain
of 85 dB. The single conversion receiver architecture provides a low cost, high performance solution for communications systems. The RSSI output may be used for channel
quality monitoring.

The DATAstream is clocked into the data register on the rising edge of CLOCK signal, MSB first. The last two bits are the control
bits to indicate which register to be written. Upon the rising edge of the LE (Load Enable) signal, the rest of data bits is transferred
to the addressed register accordingly. The decoding scheme of the two control bits is as follows:

Programmable Feedback Divider (N-Counter)
The N-counter consists of the 6-bit swallow counter (A-counter) and the 7-bit programmable counter (B-counter). When the control bits are “00”, data is transferred from the 20-bit shift register into two latches. One latch sets the A-counter while the other sets
the B-counter. The serial data format is shown below.
