Description  
The BGT24AR2 is a Silicon Germanium MMIC accommodating two separate homodyne quadrature  
downconversion chains, operating in the 24 GHz ISM band from 24.00 to 24.25 GHz. LO buffer amplifiers are  
included to relax LO drive requirements and individual LNAs provide low noise figures. RC polyphase filters (PPF)  
are used for LO quadrature phase generation. The circuit is manufactured in a 0.18µm SiGe:C technology offering  
a cutoff frequency of 200 GHz. The MMIC is packaged in a 32 pin leadless RoHs compliant VQFN package.

SPI  
1.) Three signals control the serial peripheral interface of the BGT24AR2:  
SI (Data); CLK (Clock); CS (Chip select)  
2.) The data bits SI (MSB first) are read in the shift register with falling edge of the CLK signal.  
Please make sure, that the data is present at least 10 ns before and at least 10 ns after the falling edge of the  
clock signal.  
3.) The CLK and CS signals are combined internally.  
At least 20 ns before first rising edge of the first CLK signal CS needs to be in “low” state.  
While the Data is read, CS has to remain in “low” state.  
4.) When Data read in is finished, the shift register content will be written in the latch at the rising edge of the CS  
signal. The
 
time between the last falling edge of the CLK signal and the rising edge of the CS must be at least 20  
ns.
