1.3Description
The AFE76xx is a family of high performance, quad/dual channel, 14-bit, integrated RF sampling analog
front ends (AFEs) with 9 GSPS DACs and 3 GSPS ADCs, capable of synthesizing and digitizing wideband
signals. High dynamic range allows the AFE76xx to generate and digitize 3G/4G signals for wireless base
stations. In TDD mode, the receiver channel can be configured to dynamically switching between traffic
receiver (TDD RX) status and wideband feedback receiver (TDD FB) status to assist DPD (Digital PreDistortion) of the Power Amplifier (PA) on the transmitter path.
The AFE76xx family has integrated DSA on the receiver channels and also supports DSA equivalent
functionality on the transmitter channels. Each receiver channel has one analog RF peak power detector
and various digital power detectors to assist AGC control for receiver channels, and two RF overload
detectors for device reliability protection. The AFE76xx family has 8 of JESD204B compatible SerDes
transceivers running up to 15 Gbps. The devices have up to two DUCs per TX channel and two DDCs per
RX channel, with multiple interpolation/decimation rates and digital quadrature modulators/demodulators
with independent, frequency flexible NCOs. The devices support more than 1000 MHz (800 MHz as
4T4R) RF signal bandwidth in single-band mode, and up to 800 MHz (300 MHz as 4T4R) RF signal
bandwidth per band in dual-band mode. A low jitter PLL/VCO simplifies the sampling clock generation by
allowing use of a lower frequency reference clock.

4.5Trademarks
E2E is a trademark of Texas Instruments.
All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

RoHS: TI defines "RoHS" to mean semiconductor products that are compliant with the current EU RoHS requirements for all 10 RoHS substances, including the requirement that RoHS substance
do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, "RoHS" products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. TI may
reference these types of products as "Pb-Free".
RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption.
Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of <=1000ppm threshold. Antimony trioxide based
flame retardants must also meet the <=1000ppm threshold requirement.
(3)
MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4)
There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5)
Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.

Lead finish/Ball material - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead finish/Ball material values may wrap to two
lines if the finish value exceeds the maximum column width.
