Description
M/A-COM's AT90-0283 is a GaAs FET 5-bit digital
attenuator with integral TTL driver. Step size is 0.5
dB providing a 15.5 dB total attenuation range. This
device is in an PQFN plastic surface mount
package. AT90-0283 is ideally suited for use where
accuracy, fast speed, very low power consumption
and low costs are required.
