Description
The AMMC-6650 is a voltage controlled variable attenuator designed to operate from DC-40 GHz. It is fabricated using Avago Technologies enhancement mode pHEMT MMIC process with backside ground vias, and gate lengths of approximately 0.25um. The distributed topology of the AMMC-6650 facilitates broadband operation by absorbing parasitic effects of its series and shunt FETs. An on-chip DC reference circuit may be used to maintain optimum VSWR for any attenuation setting or to provide more linear attenuation versus voltage response.
