ADMV8913SCCZ-EP-R2

The ADMV8913-EP is a fully monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) that features a digitally selectable operating frequency. The device has an integrated high-pass filter (HPF) and an integrated low-pass filter (LPF) that allows a pass-band response within the 6.6 GHz to 11.9 GHz frequency range.

The flexible architecture of the ADMV8913-EP allows for the 3 dB cutoff frequency (f_3dB) of the high-pass and the low-pass filter to be controlled independently. The digital logic control on each filter is 4 bits wide (16 states) and controls the on-chip reactive elements to adjust the f_3dB. The typical insertion loss is 5.3 dB, and the wideband rejection is 35 dB, which is ideally suitable for minimizing system harmonics.

This tunable filter can be used as a smaller alternative to large switched filter banks and cavity tuned filters, and the ADMV8913-EP provides a dynamically adjustable solution in advanced communications applications.
