RFVA2017

ANALOG CONTROLLED VARIABLE GAIN

AMPLIFIER

RFMD’s RFVA2017 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 RFVA2017 is packaged in a small 7mm x

7mm leadless laminate MCM which contains 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.
