MAAV-007088-0001TR

Overview

The MAAV-007088-0001TR is a voltage-controlled PIN diode-based variable attenuator manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It operates within a frequency range of 50 MHz to 1 GHz and provides an attenuation value between 33 dB and 42 dB. The device features a 50 Ohm impedance and is housed in a 16-SOIC package with a width of 7.50 mm (0.295 inches). This component is designed for surface-mount technology applications requiring precise RF signal control.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes voltage-controlled PIN diode architecture for π attenuator configuration
• Provides continuous variable attenuation across the specified operational band
• Engineered for low-cost surface-mount integration in wide-body plastic packages

Applications

• RF signal path attenuation control
• Wireless communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'TR' corresponds to the tape and reel packaging format required for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the operating voltage ranges align with the system's control logic before finalizing procurement orders to ensure compatibility with existing drive circuits.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed attenuation level is insufficient and electronic control over signal strength is required within the 50 MHz to 1 GHz spectrum. Ensure the 16-SOIC footprint matches the PCB layout constraints and that the thermal management capabilities of the design accommodate the power dissipation characteristics of PIN diode structures.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAAV-007088 series from MACOM, which focuses on voltage-controlled attenuators. The series utilizes PIN diode technology to achieve variable loss characteristics. The MAAV-007088-0001TR variant specifically denotes the tape and reel packaging option, distinguishing it from tube-packaged equivalents like the -000100.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other MACOM voltage-controlled attenuators within the same frequency range. Verify pinout compatibility and attenuation linearity curves when considering alternative manufacturers. Ensure any replacement maintains the 50 Ohm impedance matching to prevent signal reflection issues.
