The VGA is able to achieve high performance with +43 dBm OIP3 and +27.5 dBm P1dB over a wide gain variation range while only consuming 225 mA current. The TQM8M9074 integrates a high linearity, low noise amplifier for the first stage, followed by a broadband voltage variable attenuator, and then with a high performance 1/2W P1dB amplifier. The input and output of the various individual stages are accessible with external pins to allow for optimization of performance at any subband across the VGA's 0.7 to 2.8 GHz operating frequency range. The TQM8M9074 is packaged in a RoHScompliant, compact 5x5mm surface-mount leadless package. Superior thermal design allows the product to have a minimum MTTF rating of 1000 years at a mounting temperature of +85 C. The TQM8M9074 is targeted for use in wireless infrastructure where high linearity, medium power, and high efficiency are required.
