Description
The AA116-72 is a 1-bit GaAs IC FET digital attenuator in a lowcost package. This attenuator has an LSB of 15 dB. The AA116-72 is particularly suited where high attenuation accuracy, low insertion loss, and low intermodulation products are required. Typical applications include cellular radio, wireless data, and wireless local loop gain level control circuits.
NEW Skyworks offers lead (Pb)-free, RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)-compliant packaging.
