Can the SC1894 be used for 60W DOHERTY amplifier?

Yes, the SC1894 will support a DOHERTY amplifier (60 watts).

What is the minimum signal bandwidth supported by the SC1894?

The minimum signal bandwidth supported is 1.2MHz.

Is frequency hopping supported for the SC1894 or SC2200?

Frequency hopping is not supported for either product.

Does the SC1894 support TDD operation?

The SC1894 automatically works with TDD systems with varying duty cycles. In fact, TD-LTE is the most deployed modulation scheme for the SC1894.

Between the SC1894 and SC2200, which part is recommended for single-port and multiple-port applications?

The SC2200 is optimized for MIMO applications and does not really apply for SISO applications. The SC2200's power consumption (between 1.5W and 1.95W) is higher than the SC1894 (1.2W) for a single-channel application and its price is higher than for the SC1894. The SC1894 is still the best solution for single-channel applications.

What is the terminal finish of the SC1894A-00C13 or SC1894A-00M13 product?

The lead finish for SC1894 is matte tin (Sn) annealed.

What is the "Optional Digital interface" in the RFPAL architecture for the SC1894?

The Optional Digital interface is only for debug purposes and does not guarantee any performance with it. It is not recommended for use. Only the SPI interface is recommended.

Is USB 3.0 supported for the SC1894 or SC2200?

The SC-USB-SPI interface card will not work with USB 3.0. Disable or USB 3.0 (downgrade to USB2.0) using the PC BIOS setup process (just before Windows boot starts).

At what frequencies is the SC1894EVKIT used?

SC1894-EVK200 Evaluation Kit, RFPAL, 225MHz to 470MHz SC1894-EVK500 Evaluation Kit, RFPAL, 470MHz to 928MHz SC1894-EVK900 Evaluation Kit, RFPAL, 698MHz to 960MHz SC1894-EVK1500 Evaluation Kit, RFPAL, 1350MHz to 1800MHz SC1894-EVK1900 Evaluation Kit, RFPAL, 1800MHz to 2200MHz SC1894-EVK2400 Evaluation Kit, RFPAL, 2300MHz to 2700MHz SC1894-EVK3400 Evaluation Kit, RFPAL, 3300MHz to 3800MHz

What is the difference between all of the part numbers, SC1894A-00B00 and SC1894A-00B13 versus SC1894A-00C13 or SC1894A-00M13?

Answer: * For most applications and new designs, it is recommended to use the SC1894A-00C13 with firmware 4.1.03.08. * SC1894A-00B00 and SC1894A-00B13 are both the same chip with firmware 4.1.05.01 but are not recommended for new designs. * M13 is for a microwave backhaul that requires support for Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) and Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) up to 100dB/s * If the customer does not need ACM nor ATPC, then it is recommended to use C13. * TD-LTE is listed only in C13 applications, but not M13 because M13 does not support TDD applications. * If not sure, first evaluate the SC1894A-00C13 .
