MAATCC0006TR

Overview

The MAATCC0006TR is a GaAs digital attenuator manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It provides an attenuation range of 2 dB to 30 dB with a step size of 2 dB. The device operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 3 GHz and features a 50 Ohm impedance. It utilizes a 4-bit control interface with an integral TTL driver. The component is housed in a 16-SOIC package (0.154 inch width) and supports surface mount installation. Maximum VSWR is specified at 1.7, with insertion loss up to 3.1 dB. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integral TTL driver for simplified logic interfacing
• GaAs technology ensures low DC power consumption
• Temperature stable performance across industrial ranges

Applications

• RF signal path attenuation control
• Test and measurement equipment calibration
• Wireless communication system gain management

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TR indicates reel packaging versus bulk or tube options when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure the 16-SOIC footprint matches PCB layout requirements. Check current supply chain availability as distribution status may vary by region.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring precise 2 dB step resolution up to 30 dB total attenuation. Consider the 3 GHz upper frequency limit for RF design constraints. The integral driver eliminates external logic components, reducing board space. Verify thermal management capabilities for operation near the maximum temperature rating.

Part Context

This component belongs to MACOM's MAATCC series of digital attenuators. It serves as a Pb-free equivalent to older models like the AT65-02. The series utilizes GaAs FET technology for high reliability. It is categorized under wireless and RF integrated circuits for interconnect applications.

Replacement Considerations

The MAATCC0006 is documented as a Pb-Free equivalent to the AT65-02. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before substituting other 4-bit digital attenuators in existing designs.
