Product Description
RFMD’s RVA1007L 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 RVA1007L is packaged in a small 7mm x
7mm leadless laminate MCM which contains solid 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.
