AT-108 Voltage Variable Absorptive Attenuator 40 dB, 0.5 - 3.0 GHz Features • • • • • • Single Positive Voltage Control: 0 to +5 Volts 40 dB Attenuation Range at 900 MHz ± 2 dB Linearity from BSL Low DC Power Consumption SOIC-8 Plastic Package Tape and Reel Packaging Available Rev. V7 Functional Schematic 3,4,5,6 8 7 6 5 Description M/A-COM's AT-108 is a GaAs MESFET MMIC voltage variable absorptive attenuator in a low cost SOIC-8 surface mount plastic package. The AT-108 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-108 is fabricated with a monolithic GaAs MMIC using a mature 1-micron process. The process features full chip passivation for increased performance and reliability. 3. Vcc = +5 VDC @ 50 µA maximum. 4. Vc = 0 VDC to +5 VDC @ 50 µA maximum. 5. External DC blocking capacitors are requirements on all RF ports. 6. 39 pF used for data measurements. 1 2 3 4 Ordering Information 1,2 Part Number AT-108 AT-108TR AT-108SMB Package Bulk Packaging 1000 piece reel Sample Board Pin Configuration Pin No. 1 2 3 4 Function Ground Ground RF Port VCC Pin No. 5 6 7 8 Function VC Ground RF Port Ground 1.
