RFMD Unveils Portfolio of Broadband 6-Bit Attenuators
The RFSA2614 and RFSA2624 modules target high-performance wireless applications, including 3G/4G/LTE Cellular infrastructure, wireless backhaul and WiMAX.
RF Micro Devices has launched its broadband 6-bit digital step attenuator product portfolio, with its RFSA2614 and RFSA2624 modules.
RFMD's newest high-performance components are optimized for operation across multiple market segments, including 3G/4G/LTE cellular infrastructure, WiMAX, wireless backhaul and other high-performance wireless communications applications.
The RFSA2614 and RFSA2624 digital step attenuators (DSAs) feature a 6-bit design with both serial or parallel mode programming, covering a broad frequency range from 50MHz to 4000MHz. Radio designers can use RFMD's DSAs to adjust the gain of high linearity receive and transmit channels over a 31.5dB range with 0.5dB step resolution.
The new DSAs deliver industry-leading performance, highlighted by superior settling time of 200ns, as well as a P1dB (1 dB compression point) of 27dBm and a IIP3 (3rd-order intercept point) of +48dBm.
RFMD will showcase the RFSA2614 and RFSA2624 at the electronica 2010 trade show in Munich Germany, November 9 through November 12. Product brochures will be available at the RFMD booth (#A4.136).
Samples and production quantities are available now through RFMD's online store and through local RFMD sales channels.
