AT-107-PIN Digital Attenuator 31.5 dB, 6-Bit, TTL Driver, DC-2.0 GHz Features Rev. V9 Functional Schematic Attenuation: 0.5 dB steps to 31.5 dB Temperature Stability: 0.18 dB from -55C to +85C Typical Low DC Power Consumption Hermetic Surface Mount Package Integral TTL Driver 50 Ohm Nominal Impedance Lead-Free CR-13 Package 260C Reflow Compatible RoHS* Compliant RF1 PIN 24 PIN 1 GND 16 dB GND GND GND GND 8 dB C16 GND C8 GND 4 dB Vee (-5V to -8V) GND Vcc (+5V) GND 2 dB GND C4 C2 GND 1 dB C1 Description GND Orientation Mark C0.5 M/A-COM's AT-107-PIN is a GaAs FET 6-bit digital attenuator with a 0.5 dB minimum step size and 31.5 dB total attenuation. This attenuator and integral TTL driver is in a hermetically sealed ceramic 24lead surface mount package. The AT-107-PIN is ideally suited for use where accuracy, fast switching, very low power consumption and low intermodulation products are required. Typical applications include dynamic range setting in precision receiver circuits and other gain/leveling control circuits. Environmental screening is available. Contact the factory for information.
