Description

MMIC digital attenuator in a lead-free TSSOP-16

surface mount plastic package. The MAATSS0016 is

ideally suited for use where high accuracy, very low

power consumption and low intermodulation products

are required. Typical applications include radio, cellular,

wireless LANs, GPS equipment and other gain/level

control circuits.

The MAATSS0016 is fabricated using a mature 1

micron GaAs MESFET process. The process features

full chip passivation for increased performance and

reliability.

4.

Blocking capacitors are required on all RF ports (39 pF

used for data measurements).

5.

Vs = +5 ± 0.2 VDC must be applied at RF1 or RF2 using a

10 Kohm or greater pull-up resistor.
