Description

M/A-COM’s MAAVSS0006 is a GaAs MMIC voltage

variable absorptive attenuator in a lead-free SOT-25

surface mount plastic package. The MAAVSS0005

is ideally suited for use where variable attenuation,

fine tuning, and very low power consumption are

required.

Typical applications include radio, cellular, GPS

equipment and automatic gain/level control circuits.

The MAAVSS0006 is fabricated using a mature

1-micron GaAs MESFET process. The process

features

full
