ADVANCED RFDA0026 Digital Controlled Variable Gain Amplifier 600MHz to 1035MHz, 6-Bit 0.5dB LSB Control MCM 28 Pin 6x6 mm Leadless Package Product Description The Qorvo RFDA0026 is a digital controlled variable gain amplifier featuring high linearity over the entire gain control range with noise figure less than 4.1dB in its maximum gain state. The gain of the 6-bit digital step attenuator is programmed with a serial mode control interface (SPI). The RFDA0026 is packaged in a small 6.0mmx6.0mm leadless laminate MCM, which contains plated through thermal vias for ultra low thermal resistance. This module is easy to use with Feature Overview no external matching components required. 600-1035 MHz frequency range Fully internal matchinged and no external Bias inductors Functional Block Diagram required 6-Bit digital step attenuator SPI serial control programming Max Gain = 32dB at 900MHz Gain control range = 31.5dB (0.5dB step size) High OIP3/P1dB=+40/23dBm Single +5V Supply Small 28-Pin, 6.0mmx6.0mm, MCM Package Power-up programming Applications Wireless Infrastructure WiBro, WiMax, LTE Microwave radio High linearity power control Top View Ordering Information PART NUMBER DESCRIPTION RFDA0026SQ Sample bag with 25 pieces RFDA0026SR 7 Sample reel with 100 pieces RFDA0026TR7 7 Reel with 750 pieces RFDA0026TR13 13 Reel with 2500 pieces 800MHz to 1035MHz PCBA with 5 RFDA0026PCK-410 piece sample bag 650MHz to 850MHz PCBA with 5 RFDA0026PCK-411 piece sample bag DATA SHEET June 2017 Subject to change without notice 1 of 16 www.qorvo.com RFDA0026 Digital Controlled Variable Gain Amplifier Absolute Maximum Ratings PARAMETER CONDITIONS RATING Supply Voltage (VCC, VDD) +5.5V DC Supply Current 300mA Power Dissipation (P ) 1500mW DISS Max.
