Description
The AA264-87 is a 4 bit, single positive control GaAs IC
FET digital attenuator in a low cost TSSOP-16 package.
The attenuator requires external DC blocking capacitors,
positive supply voltage (V
S
) and four individual positive
control voltages (V

). The AA264-87 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 control circuits.
