Description
M/A-COM’s AT-635 is a GaAs MMIC voltage variable absorptive
attenuator in a low cost SOIC 14-lead surface mount plastic package. The AT-635 is ideally suited for use where attenuation fine
tuning, fast switching and very low power consumption are
re q u i red. Typical applications include radio, cellular, GPS equipment and other Automatic Gain/Level Control circ u i t s .
The AT-635 is fabricated with a monolithic GaAs MMIC using a
m a t u re 1-micron process. The process features full chip passivation for increased perf o rmance and re l i a b i l i t y .
