RFSA2644/2654 6-Bit Serial-Controlled Digital Step Attenuators

RFMD’s new RFSA2644/2654 6-bit digital step attenuators (DSAs) feature high linearity over their entire 31.5dB gain control range with excellent step accuracy in 0.5dB steps. They are programmed via a serial mode control interface that is both 3V and 5V compatible. They also offer a rugged Class 1C HBM ESD rating via on-chip ESD circuitry. The MCM package is footprint-compatible with most 24-pin, 4mm x 4mm, QFN packages.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
