Description The T7024 is a monolithic SiGe transmit/receive front-end IC with power amplifier, low-noise amplifier and T/R switch driver. It is especially designed for operation in TDMA systems like Bluetooth(R) and WDCT. Bluetooth/ISM 2.4-GHz Front-End IC T7024 Due to the ramp-control feature and a very low quiescent current, an external switch transistor for VS is not required. Figure 1-1.
