Description

M/A-COM's MAAV-007088-000100 is a Voltage

Controlled PIN diode based

π attenuator packaged

in a low cost, 16 lead wide body plastic SMT

package. The PIN diode design makes this part well

suited for applications where low distortion or high

linear operating power levels are required.

These

attenuators are ideal for gain control in multi-channel

digital communications systems.
