RFDA2026Dig- ital Controlled Variable Gain Amplifier RFDA2026 DIGITAL CONTROLLED VARIABLE GAIN AMPLIFIER 1400MHz to 2700MHz, 6-BIT 0.5dB LSB CONTROL Package Style: MCM 28-Pin, 6.0mmx6.0mm Features Frequency Range 1400MHz to 2700MHz 6-Bit Digital Step Attenuator SPI Serial Control Programming Max Gain = 32dB at 2GHz, and 29.3dB 2.6GHz Gain Control Range = 31.5dB (0.5dB Step Size) High OIP3/P1dB = +42.5/25dBm Single +5V Supply Functional Block Diagram Small 28-Pin, 6.0mm x 6.0mm, MCM Product Description Power-up Programming RFMD s RFDA2026 is a digital controlled variable gain amplifier featuring high linearity over the entire gain control range with a noise figure less Applications 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 Cellular, 3G Infrastructure RFDA2026 is packaged in a small 6.0mm x 6.0mm leadless laminate WiBro, WiMax, LTE MCM, which contains plated through thermal vias for ultra-low thermal Microwave Radio resistance. This module is easy to use with no external matching compo- nents required.
