General Description
Pin Configuration
The TQM8M9079 is an analog controlled variable gain
amplifier (VGA) which operates from 500 to 2700 MHz.
The VGA is able to provide broadband performance with
+29 dBm OIP3 and +16 dBm P1dB over a wide
frequency range while only consuming 95 mA current.

The TQM8M9079 integrates two broadband gain blocks
with a voltage variable attenuator. The three stages are
individually accessible via package I/O contacts. This
permits full flexibility to insert other components or filters
between the stages.
