Product Description
Functional Diagram
The VG112 is a PCS / UMTS-band high dynamic range
variable gain amplifier (VGA) housed in a low profile
Pb-free / green / RoHS-compliant surface-mount leadless
QFN package that measures 6 x 6 mm square.
The +30 dBm output compression point and +46 dBm
output intercept point of the amplifier are maintained over
the entire attenuation range, making the VG112 ideal for
use in transmitter and receiver AGC circuits. The high gain
of the dual-stage amplifier allows for more integration in a
transceiver board while requiring minimal printed circuit
board space.

Superior thermal design allows the product to have a
minimum MTTF rating of 100 years at a mounting
temperature of +85 ºC. All devices are 100% RF & DC
tested and packaged on tape and reel for automated surface-
mount assembly.

1. Test conditions unless otherwise noted: 25 ºC, Vcc = +5 V in a tuned application circuit. Vctrl is the control voltage through a 220 Ω dropping resistor as shown in the same application circuit.
2. 3OIP measured with two tones at an output power of +15 dBm/tone separated by 1 MHz. The suppression on the largest IM3 product is used to calculate the 3OIP using a 2:1 rule.
3. The gain variation range is measured as the difference in gain with Vctrl = 0V and Vctrl = 4.5V at 2.14 GHz.
