RFVA1027

ANALOG CONTROLLED VARIABLE GAIN

AMPLIFIER

RFMD’s RFVA1027 is a fully integrated analog controlled variable gain

amplifier featuring exceptional linearity over a greater than 19dB gain con-

trol range. This variable gain amplifier is controlled by a single 0V to 3.3V

positive supply voltage. The RFVA1027 is packaged in a small 7mm x

7mm leadless laminate MCM which contains solid thermal vias for ultra

low thermal resistance. This module is internally matched to 50

 and is

easy to use with no external matching components required.
