Description
M/A-COM's MAAD-007078-000100 is a GaAs FET
5-bit digital attenuator with integral TTL driver. Step
size is 1.0 dB providing 31 dB total attenuation
range. This device is in an FQFP-N plastic surface
mount package. The MAAD-007078-000100 is
ideally suited for use where accuracy, fast speed,
very low power consumption and low costs are
required. For dual supply designs without DC-DC
converter noise, use MAATCC0010.

Pins 10 & 29 must be isolated
The negative voltage Vee is produced internally and
requires a 0.1µF cap to GND. Generated noise is typical of
switching DC-DC Converters.
The exposed pad centered on the package bottom must be
connected to RF and DC ground. (For PQFN Packages)

4. During turn-on, the device requires an initial start up current (Icc)
specified as “Turn-on Current”. Once operational, Icc will drop to the
specified levels.
5. The DC-DC converter is guaranteed to start in 100 µs as long as the
power supplies have the maximum turn-on current available for start
up.

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.
Moisture Sensitivity
The MSL rating for this part is defined as Level 2
per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. Parts shall be stored
and/or baked as required for MSL Level 2 parts.
