Alpha’s AV850M1-00 MMIC voltage variable attenuator is a balanced configuration incorporating Lange couplers at input and output. The chip uses Alpha’s proven 0.25 µm MESFET technology and is based upon MBE layers and electron beam lithography for the highest uniformity and repeatability. The MMICs employ surface passivation to ensure a rugged, reliable part with through-substrate via holes and gold-based backside metallization to facilitate a conductive epoxy die attach process. All chips are screened for insertion loss, full attenuation and I/P and O/P match over the 18–50 GHz band for guaranteed performance. 0.095 0.000 0.000 1.634 2.000 Dimensions indicated in mm.
