The TRF1208 is a very high performance, RF amplifier optimized for radio frequency (RF) applications. This device is excellent for ac-coupled applications that require a single-ended to differential conversion when driving an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) such as the high performance ADC12DJ5200RF. The on-chip matching components simplify printed circuit board (PCB) implementation and provide the highest performance over the usable bandwidth. The device is fabricated in Texas Instruments’ advanced complementary BiCMOS process and is available in a space-saving, WQFN-FCRLF package.

The TRF1208 operates on a single-rail supply and consumes about 138 mA of active current. A power-down feature is also available for power savings.

Evaluation board

TRF1208EVM — TRF1208 evaluation module for 3-dB-bandwidth single-ended to differential amplifier

The TRF1208 evaluation module (EVM) is used to evaluate the TRF1208, which is a single-ended input to differential-output radio-frequency (RF) amplifier available in a 2-mm × 2-mm², 12-pin very very thin quad flatpack no-lead (WQFN) package. TRF1208 is well suited to drive a high-speed (...)
