Description
The MAAD-011061 is a wide band 6-bit, 0.5 dB step
MMIC digital attenuator in a lead-free 3 mm, 20-lead
surface mount plastic package. The phase is
consistent across all attenuation states. This device
is ideally suited for use where high accuracy, very
low power consumption, and low intermodulation
products are required.

This attenuator is controlled with either a SPI
compatible serial interface or a 6-bit parallel word.
SEROUT is the SERIN delayed by 6 clock cycles
which can be used in daisy-chain operation.
