MAAD-000523-TR1000

Overview

The MAAD-000523-TR1000 is a GaAs MMIC digital attenuator from MACOM Technology Solutions. It operates within a frequency range of 700 MHz to 6 GHz and provides an attenuation range of 0.5 dB to 31.5 dB with a 0.5 dB step resolution. The device features a 6-bit architecture and is housed in a lead-free 4 mm x 4 mm 24-lead PQFN surface mount package with an exposed pad. It supports both serial and parallel control interfaces.

Feature Summary

• Integrated CMOS/TTL compatible driver for simplified control logic integration
• Wideband operation covering 700 MHz to 6 GHz frequency spectrum
• High-resolution 0.5 dB step size across the full attenuation range

Applications

• Wireless infrastructure base stations
• Test and measurement equipment
• Satellite communication systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TR1000 against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm reel quantity and packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with the intended serial or parallel control interface requirements before procurement. Cross-reference the exact part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth up to 6 GHz is required alongside precise digital control. The 6-bit resolution offers finer granularity compared to 5-bit alternatives. Consider the 24-lead PQFN package for space-constrained PCB layouts requiring thermal dissipation through the exposed pad.

Part Context

This device belongs to the MAAD-000523 series of digital attenuators. It utilizes Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) technology for high performance at microwave frequencies. The series is designed for applications requiring reliable, low-profile RF signal adjustment in modern communication systems.
