Description
The M/A-COM AT-264 is a 4 bit, 2 dB step GaAs MMIC
digital attenuator in a low cost TSSOP-16 surface mount plastic
package. 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 pass ivation
for increased performance and reliability.
