F1950是Renesas系列无毛刺数字步进衰减器(Glitch - Free DSA)的一员,专为满足通信基础设施的严苛要求而设计。它采用紧凑的4x4 QFN封装,具有50Ω阻抗,便于集成到无线电系统中。其工作频率范围为150MHz至5000MHz,能够适应广泛的通信频段。
数字步进衰减器常用于接收机和发射机中进行增益控制。F1950作为一款7位步进衰减器,在这方面表现出色。其硅设计具有极低的插入损耗和低失真(+65 dBm IP3I),能够有效提高系统的信噪比(SNR)。在2GHz时,插入损耗低于1.3dB,确保了信号的高质量传输。
F1950的一大亮点是采用了Renesas的无毛刺技术。在MSB(最高有效位)转换期间,过冲振铃小于0.6dB,这与其他竞争产品在MSB转换时高达10dB的毛刺形成了鲜明对比。这种无毛刺特性可以避免对功率放大器(PA)或模数转换器(ADC)造成损坏,提高了系统的稳定性和可靠性。
该衰减器具有极高的精度,衰减误差在2GHz时小于0.3dB。同时,它能够在400ns内达到最终衰减值,快速响应的特性使其能够满足高速通信系统的需求。
F1950的应用范围十分广泛,涵盖了多个通信和电子领域:
| Part# | Freq range | Resolution / Range | Control | IL | Pinout |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| F1950 | 150 - 5000 | 0.25 / 31.75 | Parallel & Serial | -1.3 | PE |
| F1951 | 100 - 5000 | 0.50 / 31.5 | Serial Only | -1.2 | HITT |
| F1952 | 100 – 4000 | 0.50 / 15.5 | Serial Only | -0.9 | HITT |
| 参数 | 数值 |
|---|---|
| VDD to GND | -0.3 V to +5.5 V |
| D[6:0], DATA, CLK, LE, V MODE | -0.3 V to 3.6 V |
| RF Input Power (RF1, RF2) calibration and testing | +29 dBm |
| RF Input Power (RF1, RF2) continuous RF operation | +23 dBm |
| θJA (Junction – Ambient) | +50 °C/W |
| θJC (Junction – Case) The Case is defined as the exposed paddle | +3 °C/W |
| Operating Temperature Range (Case Temperature) | T C = -40 °C to +100 °C |
| Maximum Junction Temperature | 140 °C |
| Storage Temperature Range | -65 °C to +150 °C |
| Lead Temperature (soldering, 10s) | +260 °C |
在特定条件下((V{DD}= +3.3V),(f{RF}=2000 MHz),(T_{C}= +25^{circ}C)),F1950的各项规格表现优异:
当VMODE(引脚3)浮空或拉至高于VIH的电压时,选择串行模式。在串行模式下,数据以LSB(最低有效位)先输入。同时,F1950具有CLK抑制功能,当Latch enable(LE)为高电平时(> VIH),CLK输入被禁用,DATA不会被时钟输入到移位寄存器。建议在不编程设备时将LE拉高。
用户可以选择直接并行模式或锁存并行模式:
文档中还提供了一系列典型工作参数曲线,包括插入损耗与频率、衰减与频率、S11和S22与频率和衰减状态、相位与频率和衰减设置、输入IP3与频率、压缩点等关系曲线。这些曲线可以帮助工程师更好地了解F1950在不同工作条件下的性能表现。
