The F1241 IF VGA featuring FlatNoise™ technology improves system SNR, especially at lower gain settings. By keeping both IP3O and NF flat while gain is backed off, the system SNR is improved significantly under high-level interferer conditions, especially when considering alias noise in an IF sampling receiver. The fast-settling, parallel mode gain step of 1.0dB coupled with the excellent differential non-linearity allows for SNR to be maximized further by targeting the minimum necessary gain in small, accurate increments. The matched output does not require a terminating resistor, thus the gain and distortion performance are preserved when driving Bandpass Anti-Alias filters.

Design & Development (Boards and Kit)
Evaluation Board for F1241 Dual Intermediate Frequency Digital Variable Gain Amplifier
The F1241EVBI is a fully populated evaluation board which allows the customer to easily evaluate the F1241 Dual Intermediate Frequency Digital Variable Gain Amplifier. Attenuation may be set using either the F1241’s parallel control input or its serial control input by setting Vmode to the appropriate value.
The F1241EVS is a complete hardware and software solution that allows customers to digitally control the F1241EVBI with the USB output on a computer. The kit includes the F1241EVBI board, as well as a USB Digital Control Board and interface cables. The software, guides , and instructional videos are available for download/viewing on this page.
