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.

The TRF-LSC-AFE7950EVM evaluation module is used to evaluate the performance of TI's AFE79xx family of integrated RF sampling transceivers with TI's TRF1208 single-ended-to-differential amplifier on RX, and TRF1108 differential-to-single-ended amplifier on TX. The AFE79xx devices support up to four (...)
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 (...)
X-MWblocks consist of RF and Microwave “drop-in” components that can be used individually for prototyping or in production assemblies. X-MWblocks are easy to test, integrate, align and configure to 67 GHz and beyond. No messy Sweat Soldering or Silver Epoxy processes are required. X-MWblocks are (...)

TI RF cascade calculator
Overview
The RF Cascade Calculator is a web-based tool for performing RF signal chain (lineup) cascade analysis. It computes cascaded performance parameters across a multi-stage RF signal chain using standard cascade equations (Friis formula for noise figure, reciprocal power sums for IP3/IP2/P1dB, etc.).
The tool is hosted on the TI Developer Gallery and runs entirely in the user's browser — no software download or installation is required.
