The RFMD’s RFSA3713 is a 7-bit digital step attenuator
(DSA) that features high linearity over the entire 31.75dB gain
control range with 0.25dB steps. The RFSA3713 uses serial
control interface. The RFSA3713 has a low insertion loss of
1.4dB at 2GHz. Patent pending circuit architecture provides
overshoot-free transient switching performance. External
address pins allow up to eight DSAs to be controlled on a
single bus. The RFSA3713 is available in a 3mm x 3mm QFN
package.

Evaluation Board Programming Using USB Interface
Serial Addressable Mode
All programming jumpers on the evaluation board are set to the default values indicated in the table. Refer to the
Control Bit Generator (CBG) Software Reference Manual for detailed instructions on how to setup the software for use.
Apply the supply voltage to P1. Select ‘RFSA3713’ from the RFMD parts list of the CBG user interface. Set the
attenuation value using the CBG user interface. The attenuator is set to the desired state and measurement can be
taken. Note that the external address bits must all be set to ‘0’ when using the USB interface as the CGB software
does not have the capability to set the external address in the serial data stream at this time.
Evaluation Board Programming Using External Bus
Serial Addressable Mode
The configuration allows the user to control the attenuator through the P4 connector using an external harness.
Remove the USB interface board if it is currently installed on the evaluation board. Connect a user-supplied harness to
the P4 connector. Note that the top row of P4 contains the serial bus signals and the bottom row is ground.
Programming jumper S1 is set to ‘0’. External address jumpers S2 through S4 can be set to any value desired by the
user. Apply the supply voltage P1. Send the appropriate signals onto the serial bus lines in accordance with the Serial
Mode Timing Diagram. The attenuator is set to the desired state and measurements can be taken.
Default Power-up State
The default attenuation state is maximum (31.75dB) when supply voltage is applied to the attenuator. The LE signal
must be held to logic ‘0’ during power up.
