AT-260

AT-260 Digital Attenuator, 31 dB, 5-Bit DC - 2.0 GHz Features • • • • • • 1-dB Attenuation Steps to 31 dB Ultra Low DC Power Consumption Low Intermodulation Products: IP3 = 50 dBm SSOP-20 Plastic Package Tape and Reel Packaging Available Temperature Stability: ± 0.15 dB from –40°C to +85°C Rev. V5 Functional Schematic Description M/A-COM’s AT-260 is a 5-bit, 1-dB step GaAs MMIC digital attenuator in a low cost SSOP-20 surface mount plastic package. The AT-260 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 AT-260 is fabricated with a monolithic GaAs MMIC using a mature 1-micron process. The process features full chip passivation for increased performance and reliability.
