MAATSS0017TR

Overview

The MAATSS0017TR is a digital RF attenuator manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It provides a nominal attenuation value of 15.5 dB with an insertion loss of 2.8 dB. The device operates within a frequency range of 400 MHz to 2.5 GHz and maintains a system impedance of 50 Ohms. It is housed in a 16-LSSOP package measuring 0.154 inches (3.90 mm) in width. The component supports surface mount installation and functions reliably across a temperature range extending up to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise digital attenuation control for radio frequency signal paths
• Operates effectively within the 400 MHz to 2.5 GHz frequency spectrum
• Designed for surface mount integration into compact electronic assemblies

Applications

• RF signal path management in communication systems
• Attenuation control in wireless infrastructure equipment
• Signal conditioning in test and measurement instruments

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required tape and reel configuration for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the 16-LSSOP footprint dimensions align with the target PCB layout constraints. Ensure environmental compliance requirements are met, as the component adheres to RoHS3 standards. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against official distribution channels to guarantee authenticity and traceability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 15.5 dB attenuation level is required for frequencies between 400 MHz and 2.5 GHz. The 50 Ohm impedance specification ensures compatibility with standard RF transmission lines. Consider the 16-LSSOP package size for space-constrained designs requiring surface mount technology. Evaluate thermal performance capabilities relative to the maximum operating temperature limits defined in the technical documentation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAATSS series of digital attenuators from MACOM Technology Solutions. The series includes various models with different attenuation values and frequency ranges, such as the MAATSS0015SMB evaluation board which utilizes the related MAATSS0015 component. These devices are designed for high-performance RF applications requiring reliable signal control.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MACOM digital attenuators within the same family, such as the MAATSS0015, provided the attenuation value and frequency range meet the design requirements. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions before implementing any alternative components.
