Maxim MAX2063 Dual Digital Variable-Gain Amplifier Datasheet
The MAX2063 is a high‑linearity, dual‑path digital variable‑gain amplifier that operates from 50 MHz to 1 GHz. Each path includes a digitally controlled attenuator selectable via SPI‑compatible or 5‑bit parallel interfaces, with rapid‑fire pre‑programmed gain states.
The device is supplied from a single +5 V or +3.3 V rail, packaged in a 48‑pin thin QFN‑EP, and is qualified for an extended temperature range of –40 °C to +85 °C. Detailed electrical characteristics, typical operating curves, and layout recommendations are provided for designers.
