3--Bit Digital Step Attenuator
The MMT20303H is an integrated 3--bit digital step attenuator with a 1 dB
step size. It is controlled via a 3--bit parallel interface and operates from a 3 to 5 V
supply. The MMT20303H is suitable for 3G/4G small cell transmitter and mobile
radio applications using frequencies from 50 to 4000 MHz.
