Description
The AA101-80 is a 5 bit, single positive control GaAs IC FET digital attenuator in a low cost SSOP-16 package. This attenuator has an LSB of 1 dB and a total attenuation of 31 dB. The attenuator requires external DC blocking capacitors, positive supply voltage (VS) and five individual bit control voltages (V1–V5).The AA101-80 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 level control circuits.

Features
■ Attenuation 1 dB Steps to 31 dB with High Accuracy
■ Single Positive Control (+3 to +5 V) for Each Bit
■ Low DC Power Consumption
■ Small Low Cost SSOP-16 Plastic Package
