RFDA2015

DIGITAL CONTROLLED VARIABLE GAIN

AMPLIFIER

RFMD’s RFDA2015 is a digital controlled variable gain amplifier featuring

high linearity over the entire gain control range. The 6-bit digital step

attenuator is programmed with a parallel mode control interface. The

RFDA2015 is packaged in a small 5.2mmx5.2mm leadless laminate

MCM with plated through thermal vias for ultra low thermal resistance.

The footprint for this module is directly compatible with most 32-pin

5mmx5mm QFNs. The output amplifier is externally matched, allowing for

optimum performance over specific bands within 500MHz to 2500MHz.
