Description
The MAADSS0016 is a 5-Bit, 1dB step GaAs MMIC
digital attenuator in a lead-free 3mm 16 lead PQFN
surface mount plastic package. The MAADSS0016
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.
3. Blocking capacitors are required on all RF ports.
4. RF Port and Ground pin capacitors are 1000 pF.
