The AT-264 is ideally suited for use where high accuracy, very low power consumption and low intermodulation products are required. Typical applications include radio, cellular, wireless LANs, GPS equipment and other gain/level control circuits. The AT-264 is fabricated using a mature 1 micron GaAs MESFET process. The process features full chip passivation for increased performance and reliability. 16 8 4 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Ordering Information Part Number AT-264 AT-264TR* Package TSSOP 16-Lead Plastic Package Tape and Reel 2.
