Description
M/A-COM’s AT-233-PIN is a GaAs FET 4-Bit digital
attenuator with a 2 dB minimum step size and 30 dB
total attenuation. This attenuator and integral TTL
driver is in a hermetically sealed ceramic 16-lead
surface mount package. The AT-233-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.

M/A-COM does not recommend sustained operation near
these survivability limits.
Standard CMOS TTL interface, latch-up will occur if logic
signal is applied prior to power supply.
Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be
damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control
techniques should be used when handling these
devices.
