Typical Attenuator Die and Circuit Description The ATN3590 family of fixed resistive attenuators are integrated circuits comprising thin film resistors and through-die vias that provide excellent attenuation flatness from low frequency to 40 GHz or higher. These attenuators are available from 0 to 30 dB (see Table 2). The ATN3590 attenuator family is optimized for surface mounting on co-planar waveguide or microstrip printed circuit boards. Bond wires or ribbons are used to connect the input and output ports of the attenuators to the external circuit transmission lines. Connection to ground is accomplished by through-die vias to the die backside metallization. The dice are attached using eutectic solder or conductive epoxy and can operate over a temperature range of 65 C to 150 C. The absolute maximum ratings for the ATN3590 attenuators are provided in Table 1, and the electrical specifications are shown in Table 2. Typical performance characteristics are illustrated in Figures 2 through 8. Skyworks Solutions, Inc.

There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other parameters set at or below their nominal value. Exceeding any of the limits listed here may result in permanent damage to the device. ESD HANDLING: Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage this device. This device must be protected at all times from ESD when handling or transporting. Static charges may easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the human body or equipment, which can discharge without detection. Industry- standard ESD handling precautions should be used at all times. 1 Table 2.
