EMC Technology introduces a new solution for temperature compensation, the AN7, an SMT planar style chip design. This new AN7 offers a small 0805 package size for TVA line and has excellent frequency response from DC to 6 GHz. The AN7 is suitable for high volume, pick & place and targeted for Telecom and WiMax applications.
The AN7 variable attenuator is available in designs of 1 through 6dB in one dB increments with temperature attenuation coefficients (TCA) of -.003, through -.009, dB/dB/deg C and an operating temperature range of -55 to +125 ºC.
This cost effective TVA handles 100mW of input power, requires no bias or control voltages and generates zero distortion. The planar style chip size is 0.080” x 0.050” (2.03mm x 1.27mm). This product is delivered on tape and reel with a minimum order quantity of 5,000 units. Several values of the AN7 are currently available now in RoHS compliant designs.
For more information about the AN7 please visit our website or contact the factory today. The AN7 data sheet, select values and evaluation samples are available upon request.
