TGL4201-06

Overview

The Qorvo TGL4201-06 is a fixed 6 dB RF attenuator designed for broadband applications spanning from DC to over 40 GHz. It features excellent return loss exceeding 15 dB and supports a power handling capacity of 20 dBm. The component utilizes on-chip grounding vias and is classified as a 3MI passive part. It is housed in a 6-SMD, No Lead package with a die form factor, suitable for surface mount installation.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 6 dB attenuation value
• Broadband response extending beyond 40 GHz
• Excellent return loss performance greater than 15 dB
• Integrated on-chip grounding vias

Applications

• High-frequency test and measurement equipment
• Wireless communication systems requiring signal level control
• RF front-end modules
• Satellite communication subsystems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for precise electrical tolerances and thermal characteristics. Confirm that the 6-SMD no-lead package aligns with your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure operating conditions remain within the specified -40°C to +85°C temperature range to maintain performance integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 6 dB reduction is required across a wide bandwidth up to 40 GHz. Consider its 20 dBm power handling capability for moderate signal levels. The die format necessitates careful assembly processes compatible with surface mount technology and on-chip grounding structures.

Part Context

This device belongs to the TGL4201 series of wideband fixed attenuators from Qorvo. Other variants in the series include different attenuation values such as 3 dB and 10 dB models, offering flexibility for various signal conditioning needs while maintaining consistent broadband performance and packaging standards.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Qorvo TGL4201 series parts with matching attenuation values. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal management requirements when considering alternative manufacturers' die-level components for equivalent frequency and power specifications.
