AC ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS (continued)

(Typical Operating Circuit with one attenuator connected, V

CC

= +4.75V to +5.25V, T

A

= -40°C to +85°C, unless otherwise noted.

Typical values are at V

CC

= +5.0V, R1 = 1.2k

Ω, R2 = 3.92kΩ, P

OUT

= +5dBm, f

IN

= 900MHz, V

second attenuator is not connected, T

A

= +25°C, unless otherwise noted.) (Note 3)

Note 1: Total supply current reduces as R1 and R2 are increased.
Note 2: Operating outside this range for extended periods may affect device reliability. Limit pin input current to 40mA when V

CC

is

not present.

Note 3: All limits include external component losses, unless otherwise noted.
Note 4: Noise figure increases by approximately 1dB for every 1dB of gain reduction.
Note 5: f

1

= 900MHz, f

2

= 901MHz, +5dBm/tone at OUT.

Note 6: Switching time is measured from 50% of the control signal to when the RF output settles to ±1dB.
