HMC110C14

MICROWAVE CORPORATION HMC110C14 General Description The HMC110C14 is a 5-bit digital attenuator in a non-hermetic 14 lead surface mount package. Each bit is activated by applying a 0V control, and then disabled by applying -5 V control to the specified control pin. The five primary attenuation states can be activated independently, or collectively for a maximum combined attenuation level of 31 dB. See the nonhermetic DC-2 GHz HMC110G16. The HMC110C14 may be used for 2.4 GHz ISM, VSAT, 5.2 GHz UNII, 5.8 GHz ISM, or microwave radio applications.
