Description
M/A-COM’s AT-213 is a 4-bit, 1 dB step digital attenuator in a hermetically sealed ceramic 16-lead surface mount package. The AT-213 is ideally suited for use where high accuracy, fast switching, very low power consumption and low intermodulation products are required. Typical applications include dynamic range setting in a precision receiver circuits and other gain/leveling control circuits. Environmental screening is available. Contact the factory for information.
