Part Information Review and Datasheet Update

flux

Reviewed the RFFC5072 part project and updated the part metadata:
  • Set Datasheet URL to Qorvo’s official document link: https://www.qorvo.com/products/d/da000735
  • Added metadata:
    • Manufacturer: Qorvo
    • MPN: RFFC5072
Key datasheet specs:
  • Function: Wideband synthesizer/VCO with integrated 6 GHz RF mixer
  • Package: 32-pin QFN, 5 mm × 5 mm, exposed paddle
  • Supply: 2.7 V to 3.3 V, abs max 3.6 V
  • LO range: 85 MHz to 4200 MHz
  • Mixer range: 30 MHz to 6000 MHz
  • Reference input: 10 MHz to 104 MHz
  • Typical IIP3: up to +23 dBm
  • Exposed paddle: ground, low-impedance PCB ground connection required
Cross-check results:
  • Pin count matches: 32 pins + exposed paddle = 33 pads.
  • Footprint broadly matches QFN-32 5 mm × 5 mm with exposed paddle.
  • Symbol pin numbering matches the datasheet pin table.
  • Main mismatches/cleanup items:
    • Pins 23/24/27/28 are named MIX_IPP, MIX_IPN, MIX_OPN, MIX_OPP; datasheet names them MIX2_IPP, MIX2_IPN, MIX2_OPN, MIX2_OPP.
    • TM pin 12 is marked Power Out, but datasheet says connect to ground.
    • EPAD is marked Power Out, but datasheet requires ground.
    • Several digital/control pins are marked Unspecified; they should be refined per datasheet directionality.
    • Pin descriptions are sparse; adding datasheet-derived descriptions would improve library quality.

fix the several digital/control pin that are marked unspecified, refer to the proper pin type based on the datasheet.

I’ll update the RFFC5072 terminal pin types in-place using the datasheet pin functions, then verify the properties were changed correctly.

Updated and verified the previously unspecified RFFC5072 pins:
  • ENBL/GPO5: Bi-Directional
  • EXT_LO: Input
  • EXT_LO_DEC: Passive
  • REXT: Passive
  • MODE/GPO6: Bi-Directional
  • REF_IN: Input
  • RESETX: Input
  • ENX: Input
  • SCLK: Input
  • SDATA: Input
I also added datasheet-derived pin descriptions for each of those terminals.

RFFC5072

RFFC5072 thumbnail
The RFFC5072 is a highly integrated wideband RF frequency conversion IC that combines a fractional-N PLL synthesizer, low phase-noise VCO, and a high-linearity RF mixer in a single device. It is designed for wireless infrastructure, software-defined radio (SDR), test equipment, military communications, and broadband frequency conversion applications. The device can generate local oscillator (LO) frequencies from 85 MHz to 4.2 GHz and perform frequency conversion for RF signals up to 6 GHz while maintaining excellent phase noise and spurious performance.
