Description
The M/A-COM MAATSS0019 is a 4 Bit, 1 dB step
GaAs MMIC digital attenuator in a lead-free TSSOP-
16 surface mount plastic package.
The
MAATSS0019 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.
The MAATSS0019 is fabricated using a mature 1
micron GaAs MESFET process.
The process
features full chip passivation for increased
performance and reliability.
3. Required external blocking caps shown.
4. VS can be applied at RF1 or RF2 using a 10K Ω or greater
pull-up resistor.
