MAAV-008022-TR3000

Overview

The MAAV-008022-TR3000 is a GaAs MMIC voltage variable absorptive attenuator from MACOM Technology Solutions. It operates within a frequency range of 500 MHz to 2.0 GHz and provides a 40 dB attenuation range at 0.9 GHz with ± 2 dB linearity from the bottom stop level. The device features single positive voltage control ranging from 0 to +3 Volts, typical insertion loss of 3.0 dB, and low DC power consumption. It is housed in a lead-free SOIC 8-lead surface mount plastic package and supports operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Single positive voltage control operation
• High attenuation range with linear response
• Low DC power consumption design

Applications

• RF signal conditioning circuits
• Variable gain amplifier stages
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TR3000 against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm reel quantity and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact package type and temperature rating required for the application environment. Cross-reference with authorized distributors to confirm current availability and compliance with RoHS standards as indicated by the lead-free designation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, low-power solution is needed for variable attenuation in the sub-GHz to microwave range. The SOIC-8 package facilitates surface-mount assembly, while the single-voltage control simplifies bias circuitry compared to dual-supply alternatives. Consider the 3.0 dB typical insertion loss impact on system noise figure and signal integrity requirements before finalizing the design.

Part Context

This part belongs to MACOM's MAAV series of voltage variable attenuators, designed for RF and microwave applications. It utilizes GaAs MMIC technology to provide high performance in a small form factor. The series typically includes variants with different frequency ranges and attenuation capabilities, allowing designers to choose components that match specific bandwidth and control voltage requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not explicitly confirmed in public data. Evaluate other MAAV series parts or comparable GaAs VVA MMICs from alternative manufacturers based on pin compatibility, frequency range, and control voltage specifications.
