Targeted at OEMs building any type of receiver or modem, these broadband, low-insertion loss attenuators are built in packages of 3 x 3mm.

The bilateral radio frequency ports allow input and output. In addition, an external control voltage of only 2.7 to 5.5V is required.

Available for sampling are the following products:
The SKY12322 operates from 500 MHz to 4 GHz
The SKY12323 operates from 500 MHz to 3 GHz
The SKY12325 operates from 500 MHz to 6 GHz
