MAT10200

Overview

The MAT10200 is a monolithic RF attenuator die manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It provides a fixed attenuation value of 20 dB with a tolerance of ±0.5 dB. The component operates across a frequency range from 0 Hz to 40 GHz and supports a power handling capacity of 2 Watts. Designed for high-frequency applications, it utilizes a bare die package configuration suitable for integration into custom microwave circuits.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise 20 dB fixed attenuation with tight tolerance
• Operates at ultra-wideband frequencies up to 40 GHz
• Supports 2W power handling in a compact die format

Applications

• High-frequency test and measurement equipment
• Microwave communication systems
• Phased array radar subsystems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the MAT10200 to confirm exact electrical tolerances and thermal characteristics. Ensure that the receiving design team accounts for the bare die packaging requirements, including proper mounting and wire bonding procedures. Confirm compatibility with the intended substrate material and operating temperature range before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select the MAT10200 when a wide bandwidth extending to 40 GHz is required alongside moderate power handling. This component is appropriate for designs needing a fixed 20 dB reduction without variable control. Consider the bare die form factor if space constraints preclude the use of standard surface-mount packages or if integration into a larger MMIC assembly is planned.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAT10yyy series of RF attenuators from MACOM. The series includes variants with different attenuation values, such as the MAT10050 (5 dB) and MAT10110 (11 dB), all sharing similar operational parameters like 2W power handling and broad frequency coverage. These components are designed for consistent performance in demanding RF environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include the MAT10050 and MAT10110, though these offer different attenuation levels. No other cross-brand direct replacements are confirmed in public documentation. Designers must verify that alternative parts meet the specific 20 dB requirement and 40 GHz bandwidth.
