M/A-COM Technology Solutions Introduces New Analog Control Variable Gain Amplifier
-- VGA Delivers Wide Frequency Range and High Gain for Cellular Infrastructure
Lowell, MA, July 18, 2011 – M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. (M/A-COM Tech), a leading supplier of high
performance analog semiconductor solutions, introduced today a new Analog Control Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA)
for Cellular Infrastructure applications. The
MAAM-009320 is designed to lower bill of materials cost and complexity for OEM design engineers who are
designing next generation 3G/4G/LTE base stations.
New
base station designs have multi-band capabilities but numerous space constraints. The
MAAM-009320 delivers higher levels of integration and space savings by performing three circuit functions in a
single 4mm PQFN package. The
MAAM-009320 has a wide frequency range complimented by high gain and excellent input and output return loss.
Packaged in a RoHS* compliant 4mm, 24-Lead PQFN package, the VGA is designed for operation from 400 MHz – 2700
MHz. External matching components are used to set the center frequency and achieve return loss performance while
analog control is accomplished through a single control pin of 0 to +3V.
The table below outlines specific
part number performance:
“With excellent IP3 for only 231 mA of current, the
MAAM-009320 is a great choice for applications requiring gain with a wide attenuation range while maintaining
linearity,” said Jack Redus, product manager. “The
MAAM-009320 balances linearity and noise figure for optimal performance in cellular base station
applications.” Production quantities and samples of
MAAM-009320 are available from stock. Final datasheets and additional product information can be obtained from
