Description
M/A-COM’s AT20-0263 is a GaAs FET 5-bit digital
attenuator with a 1 dB minimum step size and 31 dB
total attenuation. This attenuator and integral TTL
driver is in a ceramic 16-lead surface mount pack-
age. The AT20-0263 is ideally suited for use where
accuracy, fast switching, very low power consump-
tion and low intermodulation products are required.
Typical applications include dynamic range setting in
precision receiver circuits and other gain/leveling
control circuits. Available with enhanced perform-
ance as fully hermetic version. Environmentally
screenable as P/N AT-263-PIN.
