Validate

Performance with

SC2200 EVB on

target PA

· Ensure that power levels are

correct (RFIN, RFINDLY, RFFB,

RFOUT and coefficient levels)

using the GUI.

Refer to

“SC2200

Release Notes”

Integrate SC2200

in prototype, PVT

system validation

This document,

“SC2200 Release Notes”, SPI Programming Guide

· Select/place critical RF

components(Couplers,

Attenuators, Pre-Amplifier), Ensure

that power levels are correct over

PVT (RFIN, RFINDLY, RFFB,

RFOUT and coefficient levels)

using the GUI.· Place power supplies, decoupling

and select regulators.

· Select/place the clock reference

circuit (crystal or external clock).

· Place non critical signals (digital

control signals…).
