TRF1208RPVR

RF Amplifiers Overview

The TRF1208RPVR is a near-DC to >8-GHz fully-differential RF amplifier manufactured by Texas Instruments. It provides 16dB fixed gain and features single-ended to differential conversion for ADC driving applications. The device operates on a single 3.3V supply with an active current of approximately 138mA. Key electrical parameters include a 3dB bandwidth of 11GHz, OIP3 of 37dBm at 2GHz, and P1dB of 15dBm at 2GHz. It utilizes a WQFN-FCRLF (2x2) package.

RF Amplifiers Feature Summary

• Provides high-performance single-ended to differential conversion optimized for driving analog-to-digital converters
• Integrates on-chip matching components to simplify PCB implementation and eliminate external passive baluns
• Features a low-power shutdown mode with digital control to reduce system power consumption
• Delivers high linearity and low noise figure across a wide frequency range

RF Amplifiers Applications

• Direct drive for RF sampling or Gsps ADCs
• Aerospace and defense systems supporting X-band frequencies
• Next-generation 5G wireless base stations
• Phased array radar systems
• Military radio transceivers

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix RPVR corresponds to the required tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Confirm that the WQFN-FCRLF package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint. Ensure the single 3.3V supply voltage meets the design requirements for the active current draw of 138mA. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation if environmental regulations apply to the end product.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth exceeding 8GHz is required for direct ADC interfacing. It is suitable for designs needing integrated single-ended to differential conversion without external baluns. Consider the 16dB fixed gain and high OIP3 for linear signal chain requirements. Evaluate the thermal performance within the small WQFN-FCRLF package for the intended application environment.
