HMC346AMS8GETR

HMC346AMS8GE is a GaAs MMIC SMT voltage-variable attenuator. This absorptive voltage variable attenuator (VVA) in 8 lead surface-mount packages operating from DC - 8GHz. It features an on-chip reference attenuator for use with an external op-amp to provide simple single voltage attenuation control, 0 to -5V. The device is ideal in designs where an analogue DC control signal must control RF signal levels over a 30dB amplitude range. Applications include AGC circuits and temperature compensation of multiple gain stages in microwave point-to-point and VSAT radios.
