MAAT-011026-DIE

Overview

The MAAT-011026-DIE is a fixed attenuator die from MACOM Technology Solutions, providing a nominal attenuation of 4 dB. It operates over a wide bandwidth from DC to 50 GHz with a 50 Ohm impedance. The component features two 0 dB thru lines and supports a power handling rating of 27 dBm. Designed as a bare die for surface mount integration, it ensures flat attenuation characteristics and good return losses across its extensive frequency range.

Feature Summary

• Wide bandwidth operation extending up to 50 GHz
• Fixed 4 dB nominal attenuation value
• Integrated dual 0 dB thru lines for signal routing flexibility
• High power handling capability rated at 27 dBm

Applications

• Wireless infrastructure systems requiring precise signal level control
• Test and measurement equipment needing stable high-frequency attenuation
• Satellite communication subsystems utilizing broadband components
• Radar systems demanding consistent return loss performance

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific die configuration and handling requirements before procurement. Confirm that the design supports bare die assembly processes. Check for RoHS compliance status in the latest datasheet. Ensure thermal management strategies align with the 27 dBm power rating. Validate impedance matching networks for the target application frequency.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 4 dB attenuation is required within a DC to 50 GHz operational range. Consider the bare die format for custom packaging solutions. Evaluate the 27 dBm power handling against system peak levels. Compare return loss specifications with other series variants if different attenuation values are needed.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAAT-0110xx-DIE series of fixed attenuators. It complements other values such as 2, 3, 6, 10, 15, and 20 dB within the same family. The series targets applications requiring small SMT form factors with flat attenuation profiles. It serves as a fundamental building block for RF signal conditioning circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MAAT-0110xx-DIE variants with different attenuation values like MAAT-011023 or MAAT-011028. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters before substitution. Ensure the replacement maintains the 50 Ohm impedance and 50 GHz bandwidth requirements.
