SBOS588A –DECEMBER 2011– REVISED DECEMBER 2011
(1) When using both Tx Filter inputs, use 43-kΩ resistors to match the input resistance for best frequency response.
(2) For capacitor value C, f is the desired lower cutoff frequency and 22 kΩ is the PA input resistance.
Figure 29. Recommended Tx Signal Chain Connections in PWM Mode Using Two PWM Signals
In PWM mode, there is inherently more distortion from the PWM signal than from the internal DAC. To achieve
the best results in PWM mode, add passive RC filters to increase the low-pass filtering. Figure 30 and Figure 31
illustrate the recommended locations of these RC filters.
(1) Leave unused Tx Filter input unconnected.
(2) Refer to Table 2.
(3) For capacitor value C, f is the desired lower cutoff frequency and 22 kΩ is the PA input resistance.
