Description
M/A-COM's MAAV-007088-000100 is a Voltage
Controlled PIN diode based 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.
