Description

M/A-COM’s MAATSS0016 is a 4-bit, 2-dB step

GaAs MMIC digital attenuator in a lead-free TSSOP-

16

surface

mount

plastic

package.

The

MAATSS0016 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 MAATSS0016 is fabricated using a mature 1

micron

GaAs

MESFET

process.

The

process

features

full

chip

passivation

for

increased

performance and reliability.

2. Blocking capacitors are required on all RF ports (39 pF used

for data measurements).

3. Vs = +5 ± 0.2 VDC must be applied at RF1 or RF2 using a

10 Kohm or greater pull-up resistor.
