QPB0066 Digital Controlled Variable Gain Amplifier (5500MHz) Product Overview The QPB0066 is a digital controlled variable gain amplifier featuring high linearity over the entire gain control range with noise figure less of 4.3dB in its maximum gain state. The gain of the dual 6-bit digital step attenuators programmed with a 12-bit Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). The QPB0066 is packaged in a small 6.0mmx6.0mm leadless laminate MCM, which contains plated through thermal vias for ultra- low thermal resistance. The module is easy to use 28-Pin, 6.0mmx6.0mm MCM with a few external DC blocks and RF chokes.
