AT-109TR

Voltage Variable Absorptive Attenuator 35 dB, 0.5-2.0 GHz Features • • • • • • • Single Positive Voltage Control: 0 to +5 Volts 35 dB Attenuation Range at 0.9 GHz ± 2 dB Linearity from BSL Low DC Power Consumption Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C SOIC-8 Plastic Package Tape and Reel Packaging Available AT-109 V5 Functional Schematic 1,2,3 8 7 6 5 Description M/A-COM’s AT-109 is a GaAs MMIC voltage variable absorptive attenuator in a low-cost SOIC-8 lead surface mount plastic package. The AT-109 is more linear than the higher attenuation range AT108. The AT-109 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-109 is fabricated with a monolithic GaAs MMIC using a mature 1-micron process. The process features full chip passivation for increased performance and reliability. 1 2 3 4 1. VCC = +5 VDC ± 0.5 VDC @ 50 µA maximum. 2. VC = 0 VDC to +5 VDC @ 50 µA maximum. 3.
