Description
M/A-COM‘s AT90-1233 is a GaAs FET 4-Bit digital
attenuator with integral driver. Step size is 2 dB
providing a 30 dB attenuation range. This device is
in an FQFP-N plastic surface mount package. The
AT90-1233 is suited for single supply applications
where accuracy, fast speed, low power consumption
and low costs are required. For dual supply designs
without switching noise, use AT90-0233.

1. Pins 10 and 29 must be isolated.
2. Pin 19 must be connected to Pin 32.
3. Pin 25 must connect to Pin 30.
0 = TTL Low; 1 = TTL High
4. A .01 µF cap must be connected between Pins 21 and 23.
5. -VEE is produced internally and requires a .1 µF cap to GND.
Generated noise is typical of switching DC-DC Converters.
6. +VCC requires a .1 µF cap to GND.
