MAATCC0013

Overview

The MAATCC0013 is an integrated voltage variable attenuator manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It operates within a frequency range of 824 MHz to 960 MHz and features a nominal attenuation of 28 dB at a system impedance of 50 Ohms. The device is housed in a compact SC-74A, SOT-753 surface-mount package. Designed for RF applications, it integrates two PIN diodes and a passive glass quadrature hybrid to provide precise signal control.

Feature Summary

• Integrates two PIN diodes with a passive glass quadrature hybrid for enhanced performance
• Provides voltage-controlled attenuation functionality within the specified frequency band
• Utilizes a compact SC-74A (SOT-753) surface-mount package design

Applications

• RF signal path control in wireless communication systems
• Attenuation stages in cellular infrastructure equipment
• Test and measurement instrumentation requiring variable gain control

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required lead-free specifications and tape-and-reel packaging options. Confirm that the SC-74A package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 28 dB attenuation value is required specifically within the 824 MHz to 960 MHz operational window. The integrated hybrid and diode structure offers a compact solution compared to discrete implementations, suitable for space-constrained designs needing reliable voltage-variable control.

Part Context

This part belongs to MACOM's family of integrated voltage variable attenuators designed for RF and microwave applications. These devices typically combine active and passive components on a single substrate to simplify circuit design while maintaining consistent electrical performance across the designated frequency bands.

Replacement Considerations

Check for MAATCC0013-TB as a potential variant with identical functional specifications but potentially different packaging or handling characteristics. Ensure any substitute maintains the 50 Ohm impedance and covers the 824-960 MHz range without compromising insertion loss or VSWR parameters.
