Dear all,
hoping to be
in the right area.
I'd like to have a single chip with a mixer and
a PLL integrated in it, in order to simplify the design of a multiple
frequency converter in the 200-1400 MHz band.
I've found an obsolete
chip by zarlink (SL2101). Zarlink sells its division to Intel, but Intel
seem to not produce such a sort of IC. My question is: exist something
similar by other producer ?
Another company is RFMD, but the price
of teri chip is quite high.
Can you help me ??

Well I was
going to recommend the RFMD's line of integrated PLL/mixers, but evidently
you've already ruled them out due to price.

PLLMixers
What is your price target and what kind of quantities
are you looking at? What is RFMD's proce for your app?
No I don't
work for RFMD and I'm not a sales rep, just trying to help.

The company where I work is quite small, so the quantities
are really limited (100 to 1000 pcs/year). The price should be around
3 euros/pcs. Using discrete components the target is reachable. RFMD
components cost at least the double of the supposed price. I can spend
more, but not double the cost.

Have you checked out the NXP
(formerly Phillips) line of mixer/oscillators? They appear to cover
your frequency range, but I didn't check phase noise, tuning, etc.

Greeting Mauro:
While at the IMS 2009 show in Boston
on Tuesday, I was talking to the product manager of RFMD's "Slice" line
(the RF205x family of products) about your requirement, and your comment
about prices being too high for your budget.

He suggested that if you have not already done so, to contact Sales
and let them know the details of what you need, because there can be
cost cut out if, for instance, you only need to have production testing
in a narrow band rather than across the full specified operational range.
I worked for RFMD for 6 years, but left a couple years ago, so I
have no financial stake in the recommendation. I know the people there
well and highly recommend everyone involved in bringing the product
to market.
Jeff Cameron is the sales manager to talk to. Please
call +1(336)664-1233 and ask for him. Tell him that Kirt was told by
Alistair to have you call.
Thanks for participating in the RF
Cafe Forums.
