TQM8M9077
0.05-4 GHz Digital Variable Gain Amplifier
Serial Control Interface
The TQM8M9077 has a CMOS SPITM input compatible serial interface. This serial control interface converts the serial data
input stream to parallel output word. The input is 3-wire (CLK, LE and SERIN) SPITM input compatible. At power up, the
serial control interface resets the DSA to the minimum gain state. The 6-bit SERIN word is loaded into the register on rising
edge of the CLK, MSB first. When LE is high, CLK is disabled.
