Description

The M/A-COM AM55-0024 is a dual channel IF amplifier and digital attenuator packaged in a multi-layer multi-chip module (MCM). Gain control is via two separate serial logic interfaces. The part utilizes Plastic Ball Grid Array (PBGA) interconnect technology to achieve high circuit density and superior performance. This device is ideal for GSM/DCS/PCS digital base station applications where high dynamic range gain control functionality is required.
