The device is fabricated in Texas Instruments’ advanced complementary BiCMOS process and is available in a space-saving, WQFN-FCRLF package. The TRF1213 operates on a single-rail supply and consumes 170mA to 180mA of active current. A power-down feature is also available for power savings. - Page 3 4. Matching considerations: a. The TRF1213 is a wideband amplifier and expects 50Ω input matching over the operating bandwidth up to approximately 14GHz. For more information, see the TRF1213 Near-DC to >...
