IDT’s New Integrated Digital Pre-Distortion
Demodulator Improves System Performance while Reducing Solution
Cost, Physical Size, and Power Consumption in Wireless Base
Stations
Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®) (NASDAQ:IDTI), the
Analog and Digital Company™ delivering essential mixed-signal
semiconductor solutions, today announced the expansion of its
industry-leading RF signal chain portfolio with a high-performance
digital pre-distortion (DPD) demodulator. The new integrated DPD
demodulator improves system performance while reducing solution
cost, physical size and power consumption in 4G, 3G, and 2G
wireless base stations and repeaters.
The IDTF1320 and IDTF1370 are high-performance, low-power DPD
demodulators optimized for 400 MHz to 1200 MHz and
1300 MHz to 2900 MHz wireless systems, respectively.
The fully-integrated solutions include a demodulator, digital step
attenuator (DSA), and high-isolation single-pole double-throw
(SP2T) switch to minimize system solution cost, board footprint,
and bill-of-materials. The devices’ innovative architecture and
design, coupled with a high level of integration, offer over one
Watt of power savings compared to conventional solutions. This
results in reduced heat dissipation and energy usage, helping to
ease cooling requirements, promote smaller equipment form factors,
and lower operating costs. In addition, the new DPD ICs offer
excellent linearity and high bandwidth, making them an ideal,
flexible solution for linearizing any type of BTS transmitter.
“IDT’s new DPD demodulator offers customers tremendous benefits
in performance and integration,” said Christian Kermarrec, vice
president and general manager at IDT. “Innovative design techniques
have allowed us to integrate important functions into a single
chip, producing a highly-compact, low-power solution with
exceptional linearity and high bandwidth. This enables our
customers to reduce solution cost, simplify the PCB, and minimize
heat dissipation – critical factors in next-generation wireless
base station equipment designs. These devices complement our rich
portfolio of radio card products, including RF mixers, variable
gain amplifiers, digital step attenuators, data converters, and
high-performance timing ICs.”
The new DPDs include a high-isolation SP2T switch, allowing for
easy integration into multiple input, multiple output (MIMO)
systems, while the integrated Glitch-Free™ DSA enables dynamic
adjustment to optimize the power of the incident signal reaching
the demodulator. Furthermore, the Zero-Distortion™ demodulator is
able to drive the analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) directly,
eliminating the need for intermediate frequency variable gain
amplifiers (IF VGAs) in most applications.
In addition, the extremely high dynamic range of the IDTF1320
and IDTF1370 results in enhanced DPD loop performance, minimizing
the adjacent channel leakage-power ratio (ACLR) and error vector
magnitude (EVM). This promotes better system-wide transmitter
performance and enables wireless service providers to deliver
higher-bandwidth internet and data services over existing frequency
bands – a key challenge in today’s heavily-utilized wireless
communication infrastructure.

The IDTF1320 and IDTF1370 are currently available to qualified
customers in a compact, 6x6 mm 36-ld VFQFPN package. For more
