RFSA3715
RFSA3715
5MHz to 4000MHz, Digital Step Attenuator
Package: QFN, 32-pin,
The RFMD’s RFSA3715 is a 7-bit digital step attenuator
(DSA) that features high linearity over the entire 31.75dB gain
control range with 0.25dB steps. The RFSA3715 features
three modes of control: serial addressable, latched parallel
and direct parallel programming. The RFSA3715 has a low
insertion loss of 1.5dB at 2GHz. Patent pending circuit
architecture providing overshoot-free transient switching
performance. External address pins allow up to eight DSAs to
be controlled on a single bus. The RFSA3715 is available in a
5mm x 5mm QFN package.
