The AA106-86 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 attenuator requires external DC blocking capacitors, positive supply voltage (VS ) and five individual bit control voltages (V1-V5 ).The AA106-86 is particularly suited where high attenuation accuracy, low insertion loss and low intermodulation products are required.Typical applications include cellular radio, wireless data, and wireless local loop gain level control circuits.
