the user to select an initial attenuation state at power-up. The High attenuation accuracy and linearity
PE4306 exhibits very low insertion loss and low power over temperature and frequency
consumption. This functionality is delivered in a 4x4 mm QFN

The PE4306 is manufactured on Peregrine’s UltraCMOS® 50Ω impedance
process, a patented variation of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) Pin compatible with PE430x series
technology on a sapphire substrate, offering the performance
of GaAs with the economy and integration of conventional
CMOS.
