MACOM MAAD-009195-000100

A GaAs FET 5-bit digital attenuator with a 0.5 dB minimum step size and 15.5 dB total attenuation. The design has been optimized to minimize phase variation over the attenuation range. This attenuator and integral TTL driver is in a hermetically sealed ceramic 16-lead surface mount package. It is ideally suited for use where accuracy, fast switching, very low power consumption and low intermodulation products are required. Typical applications include dynamic range setting in precision receiver circuits and other gain / leveling control circuits.
