Description
The MAATCC0006 is a GaAs FET 4-bit digital
attenuator with a 2 dB minimum step size and a
30 dB total attenuation range. This device is in a
SOIC-16 plastic surface mount package.
The MAATCC0006 is ideally suited for use where
accuracy, fast speed, very low power consumption is
required. Typical applications include dynamic range
setting in precision receiver circuits and other gain/
leveling control circuits.
