DESCRIPTION
The 8V97003 offers a very low output-to-output and input-to-output phase skew drift in temperature of < 7° across the entire ambient temperature range (<< 1° of phase skew drift per degree Celsius of temperature variation, on average), reducing radio path recalibration occurrences in beamforming applications, such as 5G radio card massive MIMO systems. The output drivers have programmable output power settings and can deliver high single-ended output power up to +13dBm at 6GHz, up to +10dBm at 12GHz, and up to +4dBm at 18GHz when using inductively loaded output terminations, and with the outputs being double terminated. When the outputs are resistively loaded, the output drivers can deliver single-ended output power up to +8dBm at 6GHz, and up to +6dBm at 12GHz. The output power can be further increased when using differential outputs and measuring the output power differentially. The 8V97003 relies on a single 3.3V power supply and offers low noise integrated LDOs for excellent power supply noise immunity.
