BCM3450 Reference Design
The BCM3450 is a highly integrated Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) and
power amplifier (PA) designed to substantially reduce the complexity of
MoCA™ interfaces found in emerging networked set-top boxes and
consumer appliances. No external transmit/receive switching is required.
It provides additional consumer benefits by extending in-home “reach”
into difficult and diverse home network topologies. The BCM3450
delivers that reach while reducing the required power to do so. The
BCM3450 provides similar benefits for Gigabit Passive Optical
Networks (GPON)
The wideband PA is capable of delivering output power of 2 dBm with
ACPR of 50 dBr at 30 MHz offset. The PA gain is programmable and
the range spans 30 dB. The wideband LNA has a noise figure of 8 dB
with a conversion gain of 21 dB. The LNA gain is also programmable
with a range of 25 dB. The gain of the PA and LNA can be changed
through a high-speed serial interface indicated above as the
GAIN_DATA and the GAIN_CLK.
The BCM3450 requires a single 3.3V power supply and the power
dissipation for the PA and LNA are 1.2W and 0.6W, respectively.
The BCM3450 is used in conjunction with the Broadcom’s MoCA
MAC/PHY integrated product line. The BCM3450 connects to the
coaxial MoCA via a triplexer and external balun to the LNA differential
input. The BSC port is used to manage LNA and PA performance
parameters and control the power from the MoCA MAC/PHY.
The BCM3450 is optimized to interface with the BCM7420, BCM7410,
BCM6816, BCM6819, BCM6829 and BCM3320.
The performance of the BCM3450 meets the MoCA 1.0, 1.1
requirements for both noise figure and linearity.
