ANADIGICS' ARA2017 operates in the 5-85MHz frequency range and supports DOCSIS 3.0-specified signal levels of +64dBmV while minimizing harmonic distortion and output noise levels. At minimum attenuation, the ARA2017 has 33dB of RF gain, and an integrated, digitally controlled, multi-stage precision step attenuator provides up to 58 dB of attenuation in 2 dB increments. The device requires a single 5V supply and is offered in a 28-pin 5mm x 5mm x 1mm QFN package. The ARA2017 uses a GaAs MESFET die produced by Anadigics and a CMOS die from a foundry partner, which are assembled in a single package.
