1 Introduction

1.1 Purpose

The TRF2436 EVM provides a platform for evaluating the TRF2436 high-power, dual-band RF front-end under various signals, reference, and supply conditions. Use this document with the EVM schematic diagram supplied. Using the TRF2436EVM, you can rapidly evaluate the TRF2436 with a minimum of manual setup.

1.2 System Requirements

Use the following equipment when evaluating the TRF2436EVM:
+3.3-V power supply, 800 mA.
Signal generator: Agilent ESG Series (with baseband I/Q modulation option for modulated testing) or
equivalent.
Spectrum analyzer: Agilent PSA Series (with phase noise option) or equivalent.
Vector signal analyzer: Agilent 89600 Series for 802.16x modulated EVM testing or equivalent.

1.3 Power Requirements

The demonstration board requires only one supply for proper operation. Connect +3.3 V at P1 and the return to P2. Always terminate active PA outputs before enabling the power supply.
Voltage Limits
Exceeding the maximum input voltages can damage EVM components. Undervoltage can cause improper operation of some or all of the EVM components.

TRF2436EVM Operational Procedure

1.4 Hardware Configuration

The TRF2436EVM can be set up in a variety of configurations to accommodate a specific mode of operation. Before starting an evaluation, decide on the configuration and make the appropriate connections or changes. The demonstration board comes with the following factory-set configuration:
Jumper J10 installed between 1-2 Jumper J11 installed between 2-3 Jumper J12 installed between 1-2 Jumper J13 installed between 1-2 Jumper J14 installed between 1-2
LO input drive
The TRF2436 has been designed to be driven with a differential LO input. A simple balun centered at ~2.6 GHz can be used to convert a single-ended input from an RF source to a differential pair to provide a differential LO to the EVM through SMA connectors J3 and J4.
The 2436 will function if driven single-ended, but it is not designed to operate in this condition, nor has it been evaluated in this condition. To drive the LO single-ended, connect an RF source to the LOP SMA (J3) and terminate the LON SMA (J4) input with 50 .
Filtering
The TRF2436EVM is provided with no filtering. The mixer output, PA input/LNA output, and RF input/output pins are brought out directly to SMA connectors on the EVM. Filtering may be incorporated by:
Connecting an external filter to RFANTA (J6) for filtering after the PA in TX mode or before the LNA in RX mode.
Connecting an external filter between the MFA (J8) and RFA (J9) jacks for filtering between the mixer and PA/LNA stages

2 TRF2436EVM Operational Procedure

2.1 TX Operation

1. Connect +3.3 V to P1 and ground to P2 but do not turn on.
2. Connect differential LO source to LOP/LON jacks (or use external balun). Set the appropriate frequency and power level between 0 to +4 dBm. Remember that for A-band operation, the LO input frequency is doubled inside the TRF2436; so, the LO should be set to half the frequency desired at the mixer LO port.
3. Connect an IF source to the IF port. Set to 374 MHz with a typical power level of –20 dBm.
4. Set ABSEL (J12) to a logic high 1.
5. Set TR (J13) to a logic high 1.
6. Set PA_B SEL (J11) to a logic low 0.
7. Set PA_A SEL (J10) to logic high 1.
8. RXDGC = don’t care
9. For mixer stage measurement:
a. Terminate RFA (J9) and RFANTA (J6) into 50 . b. Connect a spectrum analyzer to MFA (J8). c. Turn on the 3.3-V power supply (~300 mA to 320 mA). d. Observe the output of the mixer stage on a spectrum analyzer.
10. For PA stage measurement:
a. Terminate IF (J7) and MFA (J8) into 50 . b. Apply an RF to RFA (J9). c. Connect a spectrum analyzer to RFANTA (J6). d. Turn on the power supply. e. Observe the PA output on a spectrum analyzer.

Physical Description

2.2 RX Operation

1. Set TR (J13) to logic 0.
2. Set PA_A SEL (J10) to logic 0.
3. Connect a differential LO source to the LOP/LON SMAs (or use an external balun). Set the LO to an appropriate frequency, with the power level between 0 to +4 dBm. Remember that for A-band operation, the LO input frequency is doubled inside the TRF2436; so, the LO should be set to half the frequency desired at the mixer LO port.
4. For mixer stage measurement:
a. Terminate RFA (J9) and RFANTA (J6) into 50 . b. Connect an RF source to MFA (J8). Set to a desired RF frequency and typical power level
of –20 dBm. c. Connect a spectrum analyzer to the IF (J7) output. d. Turn on the 3.3-V power supply (~90 mA). e. Observe the IF output on a spectrum analyzer (374 MHz).
5. For LNA stage measurement: a. Terminate IF (J7) and MFA (J8) into 50 .
b. Connect an RF source to RFANTA (J6). Set to a desired frequency and typical power
level of –40 dBm. c. Connect a spectrum analyzer to RFA (J9). d. Turn on the power supply. e. Observe the LNA output on a spectrum analyzer. f. Use jumper J14 (RXDGC) to select between LNA high (pins 2-3) and low gain (pins 1-2)
modes.

This evaluation board/kit is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY and is not considered by TI to be a finished end-product fit for general consumer use. It generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and has not been tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio frequency interference. Operation of this equipment in other environments may cause interference with radio communications, in which case the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be required to correct this interference.
EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of 0 V to 3.3 V and the output voltage range of 0 V to 3.3 V. Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible damage to the EVM. If there are
questions concerning the input range, please contact a TI field representative prior to connecting the input power. Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or possible permanent damage to the
EVM. Please consult the EVM User's Guide prior to connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification, please contact a TI field representative.
During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than 85 ° C. The EVM is designed to operate properly with certain components above 85 ° C as long as the input and output ranges are maintained. These components include but are not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors. These types of devices can be identified using the EVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing measurement probes near these devices during operation, please be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch.

TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in such safety-critical applications.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
