Multi-tap attenuators save board space

State College, Pa. — State of the Art (SOTA), Inc. has added the MTA1225 multi-tap attenuators to its high-frequency product line. The multi-tap attenuator chip was designed to eliminate the use of multiple attenuator devices in attenuation switching functions.

The MTA1225 (0.125 x 0.250 x 0.015 inch) multi-tap attenuators are available with wire bondable or a solderable terminations. Constructed using a high-stability thick-film resistor element on alumina, these devices offer four standard attenuation values on a single chip. Standard attenuation values are 1, 3, 6, and 10 dB. VSWR for all four values is less than 1.5:1, with attenuation tolerance ±0.5 dB or 10%, whichever is greater.

The MTA1225 is a single-chip solution for low-frequency multiple signal processing applications, providing multiple attenuation levels when used in conjunction with a high-frequency switch or a pin diode.

Pricing: Less than $1.90 in production quantities.
Availability: Delivery is stock to eight weeks ARO.
