Description

M/A-COM’s MAADSS0019 is a 4-bit, 1-dB step

GaAs MMIC digital attenuator in a lead-free 3mm 16

lead PQFN surface mount plastic package. The

MAADSS0019 is ideally suited for use where high

accuracy, very low power consumption and low

intermodulation

products

are

required.

Typical

applications include radio, cellular, wireless LANs,

GPS equipment and other gain / level control

circuits.

The MADSS0019 is part of a digital attenuator

family. This family includes 4, 5 and 6 bit attenuators

with 0.5, 1 or 2 dB steps and up to 31.5 range.

3. Blocking capacitors are required on all RF ports
