QPC7332SR

Overview

The QPC7332SR is a voltage-controlled variable cable slope equalizer manufactured by Qorvo, designed to compensate for frequency-dependent cable losses in broadband networks. Operating within a frequency range of 45 MHz to 1218 MHz, this component utilizes Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) attenuator technology for precise signal adjustment. It functions with a standard 5 V supply voltage and draws a typical operating current of 2.7 mA. The device is housed in a compact 14-pin LQFN package with an exposed pad, measuring 6.0 mm, suitable for surface-mount assembly.

Feature Summary

• Employs SOI attenuator technology for reliable cable loss compensation
• Provides voltage-controlled variable equalization across the specified bandwidth
• Optimized for integration into broadband network infrastructure systems

Applications

• Broadband network cable loss compensation
• Signal conditioning in RF transmission paths
• Cable tilt board implementations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SR' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the exact reel packaging configuration and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure that the 14-pin LQFN footprint matches the target PCB design guidelines. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and check for any recent Product Change Notifications (PCN) that may affect material composition or manufacturing location prior to final procurement authorization.

Selection Notes

Select the QPC7332SR when designing systems requiring active compensation for high-frequency attenuation over coaxial cables between 45 MHz and 1218 MHz. This component is appropriate for applications necessitating voltage-tunable gain profiles rather than fixed passive equalizers. Consider the 5 V single-supply operation and low current consumption when evaluating power budget constraints in dense electronic assemblies.

Part Context

This component belongs to the QPC7332 series of variable equalizers from Qorvo. It is functionally related to other models such as the QPC7333, which covers a lower frequency range up to 684 MHz, and the QPC7336, which addresses similar frequencies but may differ in specific attenuation characteristics. The series represents Qorvo's solution for maintaining signal integrity in cable distribution environments.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Engineering teams should consult official Qorvo cross-reference guides or request direct manufacturer validation before considering alternative components to ensure impedance matching and performance consistency.
