Description
The SKY12322-86 is a 5 bit, single positive control GaAs IC FET
digital attenuator in a low cost MSOP-10 package. This attenuator
has an LSB of 0.5 dB and a total attenuation of 15.5 dB. The atten-
uator requires external DC blocking capacitors, positive supply
voltage (VS) and five individual bit control voltages (V1–V5). The
SKY12322-86 is particularly suited where high attenuation accu-
racy, low insertion loss and low intermodulation products are
required. Typical applications include cellular radio, wireless data,
and wireless local loop gain level control circuits.
