AA280-25

GaAs IC 5 Bit Digital Attenuator 0.5 dB LSB DC–2 GHz AA280-25 (Previously AD280-25)* Features I Attenuation 0.5 dB Steps to 15.5 dB with High Accuracy I Low DC Power Consumption I Low Cost SOIC-16 Plastic Package SOIC-16 PIN 16 0.050 (1.27 mm) BSC PIN 1 INDICATOR 0.244 (6.20 mm) 0.228 (5.80 mm) Description The AD280-25 is a 5 bit, GaAs IC FET digital attenuator in a low cost SOIC-16 package. This attenuator has an LSB of 0.5 dB and a total attenuation of 15.5 dB. The AD280-25 is particularly suited where high attenuation accuracy, low insertion loss and low intermodulation products are required. Typical applications include cellular radio, wireless data, wireless local loop and other gain level control circuits.
