SAN JOSE, Calif., March 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated Device
Technology, Inc.® (IDT®) (NASDAQ: IDTI) today expanded its RF
portfolio with the addition of a new family of digital step
attenuators (DSAs) optimized for the demanding requirements of the
broadband and CATV markets. The ultra-high-linearity 75-ohm DSAs
feature IDT's industry-first
Glitch-Free™ technology for enhanced
performance.
"DSAs provide gain control in a wide range of applications
including CMTS, fiber distribution networks, HFC distribution
nodes, and CATV infrastructure and data network equipment," said
Chris Stephens, general manager of
IDT's RF division. "IDT's new DSAs address the increased data rates
required for the data-intensive applications of today and tomorrow,
including the latest DOCSIS 3.1 requirements."
The F1975 and F1977 deliver very low insertion loss and
distortion, and have much higher power handling with pinpoint
attenuation accuracy than competing devices, giving customers the
performance needed to achieve higher data rates in their system.
The Glitch-Free capabilities help to ensure low overshoot and
ringing during MSB transitions, and the 75-ohm impedance offers
ease of integration in the target applications. Additionally,
the F1977 is the industry's first monolithic silicon, 75-ohm
Glitch-Free, 7-bit DSA, enabling customers to achieve 0.25dB gain
control while maintaining industry-leading RF performance.
"The implementation of DOCSIS 3.1 and continued expansion of
fiber networks to increase data rates creates an inflection point
that requires RF components with much higher performance than
before," Stephens said. "IDT's technology and core innovations are
ideal for meeting the higher-performance requirements of these new
systems."

IDT led the industry with the first DSA products incorporating
Glitch-Free technology. Introduced and patented by IDT in 2012,
Glitch-Free technology protects amplifiers and analog to digital
converters from damage during transitions between attenuation
states.
The F1975 and F1977 are fully production released with inventory
available at authorized IDT resellers for sampling and production.
The F1975, priced at $1.16 each in a
lot of 10,000, is offered in a compact 4 x 4 mm 20-TQFN package;
the F1977, priced at $1.45 each in a
lot of 10,000, comes in a compact 5 x 5 mm 32-QFN package.
