The AV-0805 from International Manufacturing Services is a Temperature Variable Chip Attenuator that operates from DC to 5 GHz. It is available in attenuation values from 1 to 10 dB with stable characteristics over temperature and time. The attenuator can handle an input power of up to 63 mW and has a VSWR of 1.3:1. It has a precision thin film, ultra-low-noise attenuator element, and provides nine different temperature characteristics. The attenuator is available as a surface-mount package that measures 0.079 x 0.049 x 0.035 inches with a nickel barrier layer for excellent solder leach resistance.
