October 18, 2012, Orlando, FL – RF Micro Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq GS: RFMD), a global leader in the design and
manufacture of high-performance radio frequency components and compound semiconductor technologies, today unveiled
two new CATV control components, in conjunction with the SCTE Cable-TEC Expo, in Orlando, FL. The new components include
the
RFSA2654, a 75-ohm broadband digital step attenuator, and the
RFSW1012, a high power handling single-pole, double-throw switch (SPDT).
  RFMD’s
RFSA2654 is a 6-bit serial controlled digital step attenuator with high linearity operating over a 5MHz to 2000MHz
frequency range. RFMD’s RFSW1012 is a 3-volt silicon on insulator (SOI) switch operating over a 5MHz to 6000MHz range
combining low insertion loss, high isolation, and high linearity. The state-of-the art new devices are ideally suited
for cable modems, CATV infrastructure, and other data network equipment.
 Cable
industry designers using RFMD’s new digital step attenuator can adjust the gain of high linearity amplifier lineups
over a 31.5dB range with 0.5dB step resolution. The RFSA2654 also delivers ultra-fast switching speeds, solving a
common problem facing step attenuators in many CATV applications.
RFMD’s RFSW1012 delivers 0.3 dB insertion
loss, 48 dB isolation, and CTB/CSO > 100 dBc measured at +41 dBmV/channel for 137 channels. The new SPDT also features
a robust 2kV human body model (class 2) ESD rating on all ports and is housed in a reduced-size 2mm x 2mm 12-pin QFN
package.
RFMD is showcasing their new control components at the SCTE Cable-TEC Expo in Orlando, Florida, October
17-19, in booth 2324. Samples and production quantities are available now through RFMD’s online store or through local
RFMD sales channels. To request a datasheet, go to
