IDTF2258NLGK Datasheet Voltage Variable RF Attenuator 50 to 6000 MHz FEATURES GENERAL DESCRIPTION Low Insertion Loss: 1.4 dB 2000 MHz The F2258 is a low insertion loss Voltage Variable RF Typical / Min IIP3: 65 dBm / 47 dBm Attenuator (VVA) designed for a multitude of wireless Typical / Min IIP2: 95 dBm / 87 dBm and other RF applications. This device covers a broad 33.6 dB Attenuation Range frequency range from 50 MHz to 6000 MHz. In Bi-directional RF ports addition to providing low insertion loss, the F2258 +34.4 dBm Input P1dB compression provides excellent linearity performance over its entire Linear-in-dB attenuation characteristic voltage control and attenuation range. Supply voltage: 3.15 V to 5.25 V The F2258 uses a single positive supply voltage of VCTRL range: 0 V to 3.6 V using 5 V supply 3.15 V to 5.25 V. Another feature includes multi- +105 C max operating temperature directional operation meaning the RF input can be 3 mm x 3 mm, 16-pin QFN package applied to either RF1 or RF2 pins. Control voltage ranges from 0 V to 3.6 V. FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE F2258 provides extremely low insertion loss and superb IP3, IP2, Return Loss and Slope Linearity across the control range. Comparing to the previous RF state-of-the-art for silicon VVAs this device is better as 1 RF 2 follows: Insertion Loss: 2000 MHz: 1.4 dB vs. 2.8 dB Control 6000 MHz: 2.7 dB vs. 7.0 dB Maximum Attenuation Slope: 33 dB/Volt vs. 53 dB/Volt Minimum Return Loss up to 6000 MHz: V V DD CTRL 12.5 dB vs. 7 dB Minimum Output IP3: ORDERING INFORMATION 31 dBm vs. 15 dBm Minimum Input IP2: Omit IDT Tape & 0.9 mm height prefix Reel 87 dBm vs. 80 dBm package Maximum Operating Temperature: +105 C vs. +85 C IDTF2258NLGK8 APPLICATIONS Green RF Product Line Base Station 2G, 3G, 4G, Portable Wireless Repeaters and E911 systems Digital Pre-Distortion Point to Point Infrastructure Public Safety Infrastructure Satellite Receivers and Modems WIMAX Receivers and Transmitters Military Systems, JTRS radios RFID handheld and portable readers Cable Infrastructure Wireless LAN Test / ATE Equipment F2258, Rev 1 01/20/2017 1 F2258 ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS Parameter Symbol Min Max Units V to GND V -0.3 +5.5 V DD DD Minimum VCTRL to GND (with 0 V VDD 5.25 V) VCTRL -0.3 V (VDD, +4.0) RF1, RF2 to GND V -0.3 0.3 V RF RF1 or RF2 Input Power applied for 24 hours maximum (V applied 2000 MHz DD P 30 dBm MAX24 and T =+85C) case Junction Temperature T 150 C j Storage Temperature Range Tst -65 150 C Lead Temperature (soldering, 10s) 260 C ElectroStatic Discharge HBM VESDHBM (Class 1C) (JEDEC/ESDA JS-001-2012) ElectroStatic Discharge CDM V (Class C3) ESDCDM (JEDEC 22-C101F) Stresses above those listed above may cause permanent damage to the device.
