MAAV-007088-000100

Overview

The MAAV-007088-000100 is a voltage-controlled variable attenuator manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It utilizes a PIN diode-based pi-network architecture to provide adjustable signal attenuation within a range of 33dB to 42dB. The component operates effectively across a frequency spectrum from 50 MHz to 1 GHz and maintains a standard system impedance of 50 Ohms. It is housed in a 16-SOIC surface-mount package with a width of 7.50mm, designed for integration into RF circuits requiring precise control over signal levels.
