Description
M/A-COM’s AT20-0273 is a GaAs FET digital
attenuator with a 16 dB minimum step size and 32
dB total attenuation. This attenuator and integral
TTL driver is in a sealed ceramic 16-lead surface
mount package. The AT20-0273 is ideally suited for
use where accuracy, fast switching, very low power
consumption and low intermodulation products are

required.
Typical applications include dynamic
range setting in precision receiver circuits and other
gain/leveling control circuits. Available with en-
hanced performance as fully hermetic version. Envi-
ronmentally screenable as P/N AT-273-PIN.
