Description
The AA104-73 is a 1-bit, GaAs IC FET digital attenuator in a low-cost SOT-6 package. This attenuator has up to 32 dB total attenuation. The attenuator requires two lines of voltage control. The AA104-73 is particularly suited where high attenuation accuracy, low insertion loss, and low intermodulation products are required. Typical application is as a sixth bit value for the AA260-85 and AA101-80. A total attenuation of 63 dB in 1 dB steps can be obtained by combining the two attenuators.
NEW
Skyworks offers lead (Pb)-free, RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)-compliant packaging.

Performance is guaranteed only under the conditions listed in the specifications table and is not guaranteed under the full range(s) described by the Absolute Maximum specifications. Exceeding any of the absolute maximum/minimum specifications may result in permanent damage to the device and will void the warranty.
Recommended Solder Reflow Profiles
Refer to the “Recommended Solder Reflow Profile” Application Note.
CAUTION: Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) can damage this device. This device must be protected at all times from ESD. Static charges may easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the human body or equipment, which can discharge without detection. Industry-standard ESD precautions must be employed at all times.
Tape and Reel Information
Refer to the “Discrete Devices and IC Switch/Attenuators Tape and Reel Package Orientation” Application Note.
