V3 Single Positive Voltage Control: 0 to +5 Volts 30 dB Voltage Variable Attenuation 2 dB Linearity from BSL Low DC Power Consumption Temperature Range: -40C to +85C Fast Switching Speed Lead-Free SOIC-8 Package 100% Matte Tin Plating over Copper Halogen-Free "Green" Mold Compound 260C Reflow Compatible RoHS* Compliant Version of AT-110-2 8 7 6 5 1 2 3 4 Description M/A-COM's MAAVSS0008 is a GaAs MMIC voltage variable absorptive attenuator in a lead-free SOIC-8 surface mount plastic package. The MAAVSS0008 is ideally suited for use where linear attenuation fine tuning and very low power consumption are required. Typical applications include radio, cellular, GPS equipment and automatic gain/level control circuits. The MAAVSS0008 is fabricated with a monolithic GaAs MMIC using a mature 1-micron process. The process features full chip passivation for increased performance and reliability.
