Dual Matched Broadband RF DVGA
3.4GHz to 3.8GHz
F0448
Datasheet
Description
Features
The F0448 is a 3.4GHz to 3.8GHz dual RF digital variable gain
amplifier (DVGA) designed for use in receivers.
.
RF Frequency Range: 3.4GHz to 3.8GHz
.
Dual Channel RF amp and DSAs for Diversity / MIMO
Receivers
This dual RF DVGA provides two independent receiver channels
each with 13dB typical maximum gain and 6dB noise figure
designed to operate with a single +5V supply. For each channel,
gain control is split into three separate attenuators: DSA0, a single
6dB step using a single control pin; DSA1, a 23dB SPI-controlled
gain adjustment in 1dB steps; and DSA2, includes 18dB
attenuation in 6dB steps controlled using two control pins. The
F0448 offers +37dBm nominal output IP3 using 220mA total ICC.
