I need some clarifications about the ADRV9003 Absolute Maximum Ratings:
In Table 13, one of the columns under Lifetime has the heading, "30 dB of Attenuation from Maximum Gain." Is there 30dB of analog attenuation internally? If so, then I understand it and can proceed with my analysis.
If not, then it is unclear how to proceed: If the 30dB includes external attenuation that the AGC may be set up to control, then this attenuation would affect the input power levels in the left column. And If the 30dB includes digital attenuation that the AGC may be set up to control, then it would have no affect on the lifetime.
