The MACOM MAATSS0019 is a 4 Bit, 1 dB step GaAs MMIC digital attenuator in a lead-free TSSOP- 16 surface mount plastic package. The MAATSS0019 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 MAATSS0019 is fabricated using a mature 1 micron GaAs MESFET process. The process features full chip passivation for increased performance and reliability.
