SAN JOSE, Calif. -- (Business Wire)
Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®)
(NASDAQ: IDTI) today introduced the F0480,
an internally matched 400 to 2700 MHz broadband radio frequency (RF)
variable gain amplifier (VGA) designed to simplify the design process
while ensuring a more reliable implementation. The device delivers
exceptional RF performance by combining IDT’s unique Glitch-FreeTM
digital step attenuator, and Zero-DistortionTM technologies
in a compact 5x5 package.
The chip offers better moisture sensitivity and protection from
electrostatic discharge (ESD) for a more robust and reliable technology
than Gallium arsenide (GaAs) devices, which require external matching
and can suffer from delayed secondary avalanching. It is ideal for such
products as cellular 4G base stations, broadband repeaters, distributed
antenna systems and microwave backhaul equipment.
Utilizing these innovative technologies results in an industry-leading
VGA with +41 dBm OIP3 with 13dB of maximum gain, a wide 23 dB gain
control range with 1 dB step resolution, and a Noise Figure of 4 dB, all
while consuming only 100mA of current,
“The IDT F0480 delivers unique capabilities to help engineers meet the
stringent requirements when designing-in and implementing RF VGAs,” said
Chris Stephens, IDT’s senior director, Wireless Product Definition and
Marketing. “Its very low power consumption of less than 500mW eases
thermal management requirements, while its internal broadband matching
greatly simplifies integration into the system.”
The F0480 has 2kV ESD rating and a moisture sensitivity level (MSL)
rating of 1, compared to MSL3 for competing GaAs devices. The device’s
flat gain slope vs. frequency counteracts board losses.
