QPC3213 50MHz to 6000MHz Digital Step Attenuator Product Description The QPC3213 is a 2-bit digital step attenuator (DSA) that features high linearity over the entire 18dB gain control range in 6dB steps. The QPC3213 uses a parallel control 12 Pad 3.0mmx3.0mm QFN package interface and has a low insertion loss of 0.8dB at 2GHz. The patented circuit architecture provides overshoot-free transient switching performance using a single +3V to Product Features +5V power supply. Frequency Range 50MHz to 6000MHz The QPC3213 is available in an industry standard 12 pad 2-Bit, 18dB Range, 6dB Step 3mmx3mm QFN package that is lead-free and RoHS- Overshoot-free Transient Switching Performance compliant High Linearity, Input IP3>+55dBm Parallel Control Interface Fast Switching Speed, 80nsec Typical Single Supply +3V to +5V Operation Functional Block Diagram 1.8V Logic Compatible Pin 1 Reference Mark RF Pins Have No DC Voltage, Can be DC Grounded Externally Patented Circuit Architecture 12 11 10 Power-up Default Setting Is Maximum Attenuation LOGIC 1 9 GND GND CONTROL Applications 2 8 RFIN RFOUT 2G through 4G Base Stations 3 7 NC 2-BIT DSA NC Point-to-Point Wi-Fi 4 5 6 Test Equipment Top View Ordering Information Part No. Description QPC3213SQ 25 pieces sample bag QPC3213SR 100 pieces on a 7 reel QPC3213TR7 2500 pieces on a 7 reel QPC3213PCK401 506000MHz PCBA w/5-pc. sample bag Data Sheet Sept. 29, 2016 Subject to change without notice 1 of 11 www.qorvo.com NC V DD NC C1 NC C2 QPC3213 50MHz to 6000MHz Digital Step Attenuator Absolute Maximum Ratings Recommended Operating Conditions Parameter Rating Parameter Min Typ Max Units Storage Temperature 40 to +150C Supply Voltage (VDD) +2.7 +5.5 V Supply Voltage (VDD) 0.5 to +6.0 V Case Temperature 40 +105 C All Other DC and Logic Pins (Supply Voltage Operating Junction Temp. +125 C 0.5 to +6.0 V Must Be Applied Prior to Any Other Pin Voltages) Electrical specifications are measured at specified test conditions.
