MAFL-011128

Overview

The MAFL-011128 is a surface-mount equalizer from MACOM designed for high-frequency applications. It provides a fixed attenuation of 12dB with an operational bandwidth extending to 20GHz. The component utilizes a compact 3mm, 16-lead QFN package suitable for SMD/SMT installation. It operates reliably within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. This device supports RoHS compliance and is available in cut tape or reel packaging formats.

Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 12dB attenuation for signal conditioning
• Operates at frequencies up to 20GHz
• Utilizes compact 16-lead QFN surface-mount package

Applications

• High-speed data communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment
• Wireless infrastructure components

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number MAFL-011128 against official MACOM documentation to ensure correct 12dB attenuation specification. Confirm that the required operating temperature range aligns with system requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status as indicated in current datasheets. Ensure the selected packaging format matches assembly line capabilities.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 12dB loss compensation is required at microwave frequencies. Consider the 16-lead QFN footprint for space-constrained designs. Evaluate thermal management needs given the wide operating temperature range. Compare against other MAFL series variants if different attenuation levels are needed.

Part Context

This equalizer belongs to the MAFL-01112x series by MACOM Technology Solutions. Other members include MAFL-011126 (6dB) and MAFL-011127 (9dB). All share similar 20GHz bandwidth and QFN packaging but differ in attenuation values. This family targets consistent performance across varying signal loss requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include MAFL-011126 and MAFL-011127, though they offer different attenuation levels. Verify functional equivalence only if variable attenuation is acceptable. No other cross-manufacturer replacements are confirmed in public documentation.
