Description
M/A-COM's MAAD-008791-000100 is a GaAs
pHEMT 6-bit digital attenuator with integral TTL
driver. Step size is 0.5 dB providing a 31.5 dB total
attenuation range. This device is in an PQFN plastic
surface mount package. MAAD-008791-000100 is
ideally suited for use where accuracy, very low
power consumption and low costs are required.
