Datasheet
Description
Features
The F0443 is a highly integrated 0.6GHz to 2.7GHz dual channel
RF digital variable gain amplifier designed for use in
diversity/MIMO receivers. The F0443 provides two independent
receiver paths each with 29.5dB typical maximum gain and 3.2dB
NF at 2.5GHz.
.
RF Frequency Range: 0.6GHz to 2.7GHz
Gain at 2.5GHz:
.
• 29.5dB typical max gain in non-bypass mode
• 10.9dB typical max gain in bypass mode
DSA Control
.
For each path, gain control is split into four separate digital step
attenuators: DSA0 provides 6dB of attenuation in a single step
using SPI/I3C control. Its counterpart, DSA1, also provides 6dB of
attenuation in a single step but it is programmed instead using an
external direct control pin. DSA2 yields 29dB of SPI/I3C-controlled
attenuation in 1dB steps, while its counterpart, DSA3, includes
18dB attenuation in 6dB steps programmed via two external control
pins. The device offers +39dBm nominal output IP3 at 2.5GHz
using 372mA total ICC for two active paths with a +5V supply
voltage.
• DSA0: Single 6dB step via SPI/I3C control
• DSA1: Single 6dB step via 1-bit external pin control
• DSA2: 29dB range in 1dB steps via SPI/I3C control
• DSA3: 18dB range in 6dB steps via 2-bit external pin
