The RFSA2013 and RFSA2023 voltage controlled attenuators (VCA) operate from 5- to 3-V supplies, respectively and cover a wideband frequency range of 50 to 4,000 MHz. These fully monolithic VCAs feature a third order intercept point greater than 50 dBm over a 30-dB gain control range.
The devices incorporate a revolutionary new circuit architecture that are claimed to provide industry-leading overall performance in linearity, attenuation range, dc current and bandwidth, as well as a linear attenuation profile versus control voltage. Operating temperature range from –40° to 85°C and housing is in 3 x 3-mm QFN packages. (Contact company for pricing — available now.)
