The SKY12343-364LF is a GaAs broadband seven-bit pHEMT
digital attenuator with a 0.25 dB Least Significant Bit (LSB). A
TTL/CMOS-compatible, dual mode serial or parallel programming
interface (SPI) controller is integrated into the device.
The SKY12343-364LF attenuator features low insertion loss,
excellent attenuation accuracy, a 31.75 dB attenuation range, and
high linearity performance. The device is an ideal choice for a
wide variety of 3G and 4G cellular infrastructure applications.
Attenuation is controlled by an SPI controller. Depending on the
SPI sequence applied to the DATA_IN pin, the attenuation state
between the RF1 and RF2 pins is programmed between a low
insertion loss state or up to 31.75 dB. The V1 through V7 DC
control pins determine the attenuation state if parallel mode is
enabled.
Please note: SKY12343-364LF is being discontinued and is not recommended for new designs.
