V5 Functional Schematic 3,4,5 8 7 6 5 Description M/A-COM’s AT-110 is a GaAs MMIC voltage variable absorptive attenuator in a low-cost SOIC 8lead surface mount plastic package. The AT-110 has a faster switching speed than the AT-108 or AT-109. The AT-110 is ideally suited for use where linear attenuation fine tuning and very low power consumption are required. Typical applications include radio, cellular, GPS equipment and automatic gain/level control circuits. The AT-110 is fabricated with a monolithic GaAs MMIC using a mature 1-micron process. The process features full chip passivation for increased performance and reliability. 1 2 3 4 3. VCC = +5 VDC ± 0.5 VDC @ 300 µA maximum. 4. VC = 0 VDC to +5 VDC @ 6 mA maximum. 5.
