Description

M/A-COM’s AT90-1413 is a GaAs FET 4-Bit digital
attenuator with integral driver. Step size is 1 dB providing
a 15 dB attenuation range. This device is in an FQFP-N
plastic surface mount package. The AT90-1413 is suited
for single supply applications where accuracy, fast speed,
low power consumption and low costs are required.

1. Pins 10 & 29 must be isolated.

2. Pin 19 must be connected to Pin 32.

3. Pin 25 must connect to Pin 30.

4. A .01 µF cap must be connected between Pins 21 and 23.

5. -Vee is produced internally and requires a .1 µF cap to
GND

6. +Vcc requires a .1 µF cap to GND.
