AT-266

AT-266 Digital Attenuator, 1 Bit, 10 dB Step DC - 2.0 GHz Features • Single 10 dB Step • Low Loss: 0.3 dB @ 900 MHz • Low Cost SOT-25 Package Rev. V4 Functional Block Diagram Description M/A-COM’s AT-266 is a 1 bit, 10 dB step GaAs MMIC digital attenuator in a low cost SOT-25 surface mount plastic package. The AT-266 is ideally suited for use where high accuracy, very low power consumption and low intermodulation products are required. Typical applications include radio, wireless LANs, GPS equipment and other gain/level control circuits. The AT-266 is fabricated using a mature GaAs MMIC process featuring full chip passivation for increased performance and reliability. 1 Pin Configuration Pin No. 1 2 3 Function RF1 GND RF2 V1 V2 Description RF In/Out RF Ground RF In/Out Control Voltage Control Voltage Ordering Information Part Number AT-266 AT-266TR Package Bulk Packaging 1000 piece reel 4 5 1.

Truth Table 4,5,6 V1 V2 1 0 Attenuation State 10 dB Insertion Loss Absolute Maximum Ratings 2,3 Parameter Input Power 50 MHz 500 - 2000 MHz Control Voltage Operating Temperature Storing Temperature 0 1 Absolute Maximum +27 dBm +34 dBm -8.5 V < Vc < +8 V -40°C to +85°C -65°C to +150°C 4. For positive voltage control, external DC blocking capacitors are required on all RF ports (pins 1, 2 and 3). 5. Differential voltage, V(state 1) - V(state 0), must be +2.8 V minimum and less than 8 V. 6. 0 = -8 V to 0.2 V, 1 = -0.2 V to 8 V 2. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause permanent damage to this device. 3. M/A-COM does not recommend sustained operation near these survivability limits. 1 ADVANCED: Data Sheets contain information regarding a product M/A-COM Technology Solutions • North America Tel: 800.366.2266 / Fax: 978.366.2266 is considering for development.
