AC ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS (continued)
(Typical Operating Circuit with one attenuator connected, V
CC
= +4.75V to +5.25V, T
A
= -40°C to +85°C, unless otherwise noted.
Typical values are at V
CC
= +5.0V, R1 = 1.2k
Ω, R2 = 2kΩ, P
OUT
= +5dBm, f
IN
= 2100MHz, V

second attenuator is not connected, T
A
= +25°C, unless otherwise noted.) (Note 3)
Note 1: Total supply current reduces as R
1
and R
2
are increased.
Note 2: Operating outside this range for extended periods may affect device reliability. Limit pin input current to 40mA when V
CC
is not present.
Note 3: All limits include external component losses, unless otherwise noted.
Note 4: Noise figure increases by approximately 1dB for every 1dB of gain reduction.
Note 5: f
1
= 2100MHz, f
2
= 2101MHz, +5dBm/tone at OUT.
Note 6: Switching time is measured from 50% of the control signal to when the RF output settles to ±1dB.
