AA101-80

Attenuation 1 dB Steps to 31 dB with High Accuracy
Single Positive Control (+3 to +5 V) for Each Bit
Low DC Power Consumption
Small Low Cost SSOP-16 Plastic Package

The AA101-80 is a 5 bit, single positive control GaAs IC FET digital attenuator in a low cost SSOP-16 package. This attenuator has an LSB of 1 dB and a total attenuation of 31 dB.The attenuator requires external DC blocking capacitors, positive supply voltage (V_S ) and five individualbit control voltages (V ₁ V ₅).The AA101-80 is particularly suited where high attenuation accuracy, low insertion loss and low intermodulation products are required.Typical applications include base station, wireless data, and wireless local loop gain level control circuits.
