Description
The AV101-12 is a current controlled, variable attenuator
from Skyworks series of HIP3™ components. It is designed
to meet the wide dynamic range required in spread spec-
trum, wireless base station applications. A monolithic
quadrature hybrid is teamed with a silicon PIN diode pair
in a plastic surface mount package, reducing size and
assuring consistency from part to part.
