Description
M/A-COM’s MAADSS0010 is a 1 dB step GaAs
MMIC digital attenuator with 31 dB attenuation
range in a lead-free QSOP-16 (SSOP-16) package.
It requires external DC blocking capacitors on the
RF ports, positive supply voltage and five individual
bit control voltages.
The MAADSS0010 is particularly suited where high
attenuation accuracy, low insertion loss and low
intermodulation products are required. Typical
applications include base stations, wireless data,
and wireless local loop gain level control circuits.
The MAADSS0010 is fabricated using M/A-COM’s
GaAs 1.0 micron process. The process features full
chip passivation for increased performance and
reliability.
