MAADCC0006TR

Overview

The MAADCC0006TR is a digitally controlled RF attenuator manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It features a GaAs FET technology with an integral driver and operates within a frequency range of DC to 4 GHz. The device provides a total attenuation range of 15 dB with a step size of 1 dB, utilizing a 4-bit control interface. It is designed for 50 Ohm systems and is housed in a 32-pin PowerVFQFN package. The component is supplied in tape and reel packaging.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a GaAs FET digital attenuator with a built-in driver circuit
• Offers precise 1 dB step resolution across a 15 dB attenuation range
• Supports TTL-compatible digital control signals for easy integration

Applications

• RF signal path management in wireless communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment requiring variable attenuation
• Phased array antenna beamforming networks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and package variant against the official MACOM datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the 32-PowerVFQFN package matches your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the TTL driver compatibility aligns with your system's logic levels. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation updates if required for your manufacturing standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, digitally controlled attenuator is needed for frequencies up to 4 GHz. The integral driver simplifies design by eliminating external control circuitry. Consider the 32-pin PowerVFQFN package for space-constrained applications. Verify thermal dissipation capabilities within the intended operating environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to MACOM's family of digital attenuators designed for RF and microwave applications. It utilizes GaAs FET technology for low insertion loss and high linearity. The series includes variants with different attenuation ranges and control interfaces, but this specific model focuses on 15 dB range with TTL driving.

Replacement Considerations

Consult MACOM's official substitution guide for direct replacements. Cross-reference pinouts and electrical specifications carefully. Ensure any substitute part supports the same 4-bit TTL control scheme and 32-pin PowerVFQFN package to maintain board compatibility.
