Description  
The MAATSS0018 is a 1 bit, 10 dB step GaAs  
MMIC digital attenuator in a lead-free SOT-25  
surface mount plastic package. This device uses a  
mature 1-micron process. The process features full  
chip passivation for increased performance and  
reliability.

5. For
 
positive voltage control, external DC blocking capacitors  
are required on all RF ports (pins 1, 2 and 3)

3. Exceeding
 
any one or combination of these limits may cause  
permanent damage to this device.

does not recommend sustained operation near these  
survivability limits.
