Description
M/A-COM’s MAATSS0020 is a 5-bit, 1-dB step
GaAs MMIC digital attenuator in a lead-free
SSOP-20 surface mount plastic package. The
MAATSS0020 is ideally suited for use where high
accuracy, fast switching, very low power
consumption and low intermodulation products are
required at a low cost.
Typical applications include radio and cellular
equipment, wireless LANS, GPS equipment and
other gain/level control circuits.
The MAATSS0020 is fabricated with a monolithic
GaAs MMIC using a mature 1-micron process. The
process features full chip passivation for increased
performance and reliability.
