CC1312R7: Receiver limitations at 1 Mbps - IP1dB / P1dB ; IIP3 / OIP3

Part Number: CC1312R7

Tool/software:

Hello, 

I am using CC1312R7 + SE2435L . I need to know CC1312R7 receiver limitations to properly design SE2435L internal LNA/Bypass use strategy. In the documentation I was only able to find that CC1312R7 receiver saturation level is +10 dBm. “Saturation level” can mean different things (absolute max, damage threshold, or a distortion/compression point), and there are several other ways the radio can be desensitized before you hit that +10 dBm number.

Can I have specifications like 

  • Absolute maximum damage input (pin/die max) — the input power that can physically damage ESD/clamp structures. This is often very high (e.g. +10 dBm or more) but is not an operational compression point.

  • IP1dB / P1dB — the 1 dB compression point where the receiver gain starts to compress (an operational nonlinearity limit). This is usually much lower than the absolute damage number.

  • IIP3 / OIP3 — intercept points that govern intermodulation dynamic range (usually not the same as the +10 dBm number).

  • AGC / front-end switching thresholds — some radios switch attenuation circuits before damage but after distortion starts.

Best regards,

  • Hi Aivaras,

    Absolute maximum damage input (pin/die max) — the input power that can physically damage ESD/clamp structures. This is often very high (e.g. +10 dBm or more) but is not an operational compression point.

    The datasheet mentions in section 7.1 that +10 dBm is the maximum input level in RF_ and RF_N.

      

    I'll need some time to check with our design team about the other questions you have.
