Description

M/A-COM's MAAVCC0002 is a PIN diode based voltage
variable attenuator. This device is in a 6mm square, 28 lead,
plastic CSP package, suitable for surface mounting on
PCBs. These attenuators have linear operating power and
input intercept point levels 15 - 20 dB better than GaAs
FET MMIC voltage variable attenuators. They are ideally
suited for use where low distortion, high linear operating
power and high dynamic range are required. These devices
are optimized for the PCS and UMTS frequency bands, but
exhibit excellent performance and repeatability over the
entire specified frequency band. The MAAVCC0002 is
ideally suited for wireless communications systems.
