MAAT-011030-DIE

Overview

The MAAT-011030-DIE is a bare die fixed RF attenuator manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It provides a nominal attenuation of 20 dB with a wide bandwidth extending from DC to 50 GHz. The component operates at a standard 50 Ohm impedance and supports a power handling capacity of 27 dBm. Designed for high-frequency applications, this surface-mount device is supplied as an exposed die for integration into custom substrates or hybrid circuits.

Feature Summary

• Wide bandwidth operation up to 50 GHz
• Fixed 20 dB attenuation value
• High power handling capability of 27 dBm
• Bare die format for flexible integration

Applications

• High-frequency test and measurement equipment
• Wireless communication infrastructure systems
• Satellite communication transponders
• Radar system signal conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturing lot date code and die marking requirements with the supplier prior to ordering. Confirm that the receiving facility has appropriate cleanroom capabilities for handling bare semiconductor components. Ensure electrostatic discharge protection protocols are strictly followed during storage and assembly to prevent damage to the sensitive die structure.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 20 dB attenuation is required across a ultra-wide frequency range up to 50 GHz. Consider the bare die form factor if space constraints or thermal management needs require direct mounting on custom substrates rather than packaged solutions. Evaluate the 27 dBm power rating against maximum expected signal levels in the application path.

Part Context

This part belongs to MACOM's family of wideband fixed attenuators available in various attenuation values including 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, and 15 dB. The -DIE suffix indicates the component is provided as an unpackaged die rather than a standard surface-mount package. This allows designers to integrate the attenuator directly into multi-chip modules or specialized RF layouts.

Replacement Considerations

MAAT-011030-TR: Same functional specifications but supplied in tape-and-reel packaging instead of bare die.
