LTC6412 AC ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICSThe l denotes specifi cations that apply over the full operatingtemperature range, otherwise specifi cations are at TA = 25°C. Typical AC electrical performance measured in demo board DC1464A(Figure 3, Test Circuit A) unless otherwise noted. Default operating conditions are VCC = 3.3V, EN = 0.8V, SHDN = 2.2V, +VG tied to VREF(negative gain slope mode), and ZSOURCE = ZLOAD = 50Ω unless otherwise noted.SYMBOLPARAMETERCONDITIONSMINTYPMAXUNITS IM3 Third-Order Intermodulation f1 = 139.5MHz, f2 = 140.5MHz, –88 dBc POUT = –6dBm/Tone, –VG = 0V to 1.0V OIP3 Output Third-Order Intercept f1 = 139.5MHz, f2 = 140.5MHz, 38 dBm POUT = –6dBm/Tone, –VG = 0V to 1.0V P1dBGMAX Output 1dB Compression Point at Max Gain –VG = 0V (Note 6) 13 dBm NFGMAX Noise Figure at Maximum Gain –VG = 0V (Note 5) 10 dB NFGMIN Noise Figure at Minimum Gain –VG = 1.2V (Note 5) 42 dB 240MHz Signal GMAX Maximum Gain –VG = 0V, Test Circuit B 17 dB GMIN Minimum Gain –VG = 1.2V, Test Circuit B –14 dB GRANGE Gain Range GMAX-GMIN 31 dB HD2 Second Harmonic Distortion POUT = 0dBm, –VG = 0V to 1.0V –70 dBc HD3 Third Harmonic Distortion POUT = 0dBm, –VG = 0V to 1.0V –70 dBc IM3 Third-Order Intermodulation f1 = 239.5MHz, f2 = 240.5MHz, –82 dBc POUT = –6dBm/Tone, –VG = 0V to 1.0V OIP3 Output Third-Order Intercept f1 = 239.5MHz, f2 = 240.5MHz, 35 dBm POUT = –6dBm/Tone, –VG = 0V to 1.0V P1dBGMAX Output 1dB Compression Point at Max Gain –VG = 0V (Note 6) 12 dBm NFGMAX Noise Figure at Maximum Gain –VG = 0V (Note 5) 10 dB NFGMIN Noise Figure at Minimum Gain –VG = 1.2V (Note 5) 42 dB 280MHz/320MHz Signal GMAX Maximum Gain f = 320MHz, POUT = –3dBm, –VG = 0V 16.9 dB GMID Medium Gain f = 320MHz, POUT = –5dBm, –VG = 0.6V 1.5 dB GMIN Minimum Gain f = 320MHz, POUT = –5dBm, –VG = 1.2V –14.2 dB GRANGE Gain Range 320MHz, GMAX-GMIN 29.7 31.1 32.5 dB IM3GMAX Third-Order Intermodulation at Max Gain f1 = 280MHz, f2 = 320MHz, –72 dBc POUT = –3dBm/Tone, –VG = 0V IM3GMID Third-Order Intermodulation at Mid Gain f1 = 280MHz, f2 = 320MHz, –71 –65 dBc POUT = –5dBm/Tone, –VG = 0.6V IM3GMIN Third-Order Intermodulation at Min Gain f1 = 280MHz, f2 = 320MHz, –56 dBc POUT = –5dBm/Tone, –VG = 1.2V OIP3GMAX Output Third-Order Intercept at Max Gain f1 = 280MHz, f2 = 320MHz, 31.0 dBm POUT = –3dBm/Tone, –VG = 0V OIP3GMID Output Third-Order Intercept at Mid Gain f1 = 280MHz, f2 = 320MHz, 26.0 30.5 dBm POUT = –5dBm/Tone, –VG = 0.6V OIP3GMIN Output Third-Order Intercept at Min Gain f1 = 280MHz, f2 = 320MHz, 23.0 dBm POUT = –5dBm/Tone, –VG = 1.2V 6412fa 6
