RF Micro Devices (RFMD) has announced the RFSA3013 and RFSA3023, its new, fully monolithic analog voltage-controlled attenuators (VCAs) featuring linearity over a 30dB minimum gain control range. These feature internal temperature compensation that provides an attenuation profile highly insensitive to temperature changes.
Each VCA is controlled by a single positive control voltage with on-chip DC conditioning circuitry and the slope of the control voltage versus gain is selectable. These VCAs have been characterized for 75Ω CATV applications over the full attenuation and frequency ranges with no external matching components required and components are offered in a compact 3mm x 3mm QFN package.
