MAATCC0010

Overview

The MAATCC0010 is a GaAs FET digital attenuator featuring an integral TTL driver. It provides a total attenuation range of 31 dB with a step size of 1.0 dB. The device operates within a frequency range of DC to 3 GHz and maintains a 50 Ohm impedance. Packaged in a 32-PowerVFQFN, it supports precise RF signal control for high-performance applications.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes GaAs FET technology for high-performance signal attenuation
• Integrates a TTL driver for simplified logic interface control
• Provides precise 1.0 dB step resolution across the attenuation range

Applications

• RF signal path control in communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment requiring variable attenuation
• Wireless infrastructure components

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant, such as MAATCC0010TR for tape and reel or MAATCC0010CT for cut tape, against your manufacturing requirements. Confirm that the TTL driver compatibility matches your system's logic levels. Ensure the 32-PowerVFQFN footprint aligns with your PCB design guidelines before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 31 dB attenuation range with 1 dB steps is required up to 3 GHz. The integrated TTL driver simplifies control circuitry compared to devices needing external drivers. Consider the PowerVFQFN package for compact designs requiring thermal performance. Verify impedance matching for 50 Ohm systems.
