Datasheet
Voltage Variable RF Attenuator
1MHz to 3000MHz
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Low Insertion Loss: 1.1dB @ 500MHz
Typical / Min IIP3: 60dBm / 46dBm
Typical / Min IIP2: 98dBm / 74dBm
33dB Attenuation Range
The IDTF2255 is a low insertion loss Voltage Variable
RF Attenuator (VVA) designed for a multitude of
wireless and other RF applications. This device covers
a broad frequency range from 1MHz to 3000MHz. In
addition to providing low insertion loss, the IDTF2255
provides excellent linearity performance over its entire
voltage control and attenuation range.
Bi-directional RF ports
+36dBm Input P1dB compression
VMODE pin allows either positive or negative
control response
The F2255 uses a single positive supply voltage of
3.15V to 5.25V. Other features include the VMODE pin
allowing either positive or negative voltage control
slope vs attenuation and multi-directional operation
meaning the RF input can be applied to either RF1 or
RF2 pins. Control voltage ranges from 0V to 3.6V
using either positive or negative control voltage slope.
