MAAV-007941-TR3000

Overview

The MAAV-007941-TR3000 is a voltage variable absorptive attenuator manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It provides a fixed attenuation value of 12 dB across a frequency range from DC to 2 GHz. The component operates with a standard system impedance of 50 Ohms and features a maximum VSWR of 2.1. It is housed in an 8-SOIC package with a width of 3.90 mm (0.154 inches). The device supports surface mount installation and functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Voltage variable absorptive attenuator design for signal control
• Broadband operation covering DC to 2 GHz frequencies
• Integrated single-channel configuration
• RoHS compliant construction

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required tape and reel quantity, as the TR3000 designation indicates a specific packaging format. Confirm that the 8-SOIC footprint aligns with the PCB layout requirements. Ensure the thermal management strategy supports the specified operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C during integration. Cross-reference the datasheet for precise pinout definitions to avoid soldering errors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 12 dB attenuation is required within the 2 GHz bandwidth. The 50 Ohm impedance ensures compatibility with standard RF transmission lines. Consider the SOIC-8 package size for space-constrained designs. Verify that the absorptive nature meets the system's return loss requirements compared to reflective alternatives.
