SI32173-C-FM1R

The SI32173-C-FM1R is an integrated circuit designed for use in many applications in the telecommunications field. It is a high-performance, low-power integrated circuit featuring two independent transceivers supporting up to two bands of operation. The SI32173-C-FM1R provides flexibility and performance to enable the implementation of multi-mode, multi-band wireless applications. This allows designers to reduce system costs, power consumption, and form factor size while maintaining robust network performance.

The SI32173-C-FM1R features many of the features and capabilities expected of a transceiver including modulation up to 8-level GMSK, single-carrier modulation, dual-band operations and dynamic power control. It also supports a wide range of modulation types, including linear modulation such as Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK) and GMSK/8-ASK, as well as non-linear modulation such as 8-Phase Shift Keying (8-PSK).

The SI32173-C-FM1R offers a single radio transmitter and receiver, with the capability to operate in both 2G and 3G wireless communication systems. Both the transmitter and receiver are capable of operating in two separate, individual frequency bands; one for transmission and one for reception. The two bands can be programmed independently to enable the device to work in both GSM/GPRS and EDGE/UMTS networks. The transmitter can also be configured to transmit in any standard frequency-divided EDGE/UMTS mode.

The SI32173-C-FM1R is designed to be the ideal integrated circuit solution for wireless device designers who need one device to take on multiple applications and duties. The transceivers feature integrated digital signal processing, modulation, and up/downconversion. This includes Automatic Frequency and Phase Control (AFPC) for fast tuning and synchronization of the transceiver. This helps further reduce external components and saves power, size, and cost.

The SI32173-C-FM1R is designed to connect to external power amplifiers, antenna tuners, and front-end filters for maximum performance. The device also has integrated terminals for connecting external switched bank filters to enable multi-mode operations. All of these features and capabilities make the SI32173-C-FM1R the perfect choice for network operators and device manufacturers who need transceiver solutions that are cost-effective, small, and low-power.

The SI32173-C-FM1R is designed to enable designers to quickly implement multi-mode, multi-band wireless applications with significant cost savings. With its efficient power consumption, improved performance and integrated features, the SI32173-C-FM1R is ideal for use in the latest wireless systems.
