Description

M/A-COM’s MAATSS0015 is a 4-bit, 1-dB step

GaAs MMIC digital attenuator in a lead-free SOIC

16-lead

surface

mount

plastic

package.

The

MAATSS0015 is ideally suited for use where high

accuracy,

fast

switching,

very

low

power

consumption and low intermodulation products are

required. Typical applications include radio, cellular,

and wireless LANs, GPS equipment and other gain/

level control circuits.

The MAATSS0015 is fabricated with a monolithic

GaAs MMIC using a mature 1-micron process. The

process features full chip passivation for increased

performance and reliability.
