Description
M/A-COM’s MAATSS0015 is a 4-bit, 1-dB step
GaAs MMIC digital attenuator in a lead-free SOIC
16-lead
MAATSS0015 is ideally suited for use where high
accuracy,
consumption and low intermodulation products are
required. Typical applications include radio, cellular,
and wireless LANs, GPS equipment and other gain/
level control circuits.
The MAATSS0015 is fabricated with a monolithic
GaAs MMIC using a mature 1-micron process. The
process features full chip passivation for increased
performance and reliability.
