MAAD-000523

6-Bit Digital Attenuator: MAAD-000523

M/A-COM Tech’s MAAD-000523 is a 6-Bit, 0.5 dB digital attenuator for 50 Ω systems, operating between the 0.7 GHz – 6.0 GHz frequency range. This attenuator is ideal when high accuracy, low power consumption, and low intermodulation products are required.  It includes an integrated TTL/CMOS compatible driver, and offers parallel and serial control with a power-up state function. Packaged in a Lead-Free 4 mm 24-Lead PQFN Package, the MAAD-000523 has small relative phase variation per bit, and achieves an insertion loss of 1.6 dB at 2 GHz. The attenuator features a typical input return loss of 18 dB up to 6 GHz.



Switches for Cellular Infrastructure

Switches for Cellular Infrastructure: MASW-010350, and MASW-010351

M/A-COM Tech makes two additions to its family of switches for cellular infrastructure applications.  Operating from 0.01 GHz - 4.0 GHz and packaged in an industry standard 4mm 24-Lead PQFN, the MASW-010350 is a high isolation single pole four throw (SP4T) switch, while the MASW-010351 is a high isolation single pole five throw (SP5T) switch.  With a symmetric circuit design utilizing M/A-COM Tech’s GaAs pHEMT technology and an integrated CMOS decoder, both switches maintain an excellent combination of low insertion loss and high isolation for all states. The new switches are designed to lower the system complexity and reduce the bill of material cost by replacing multiple single pole double throw (SPDT) switches. These switches are ideal for band switching in multi-channel and multi-mode base-station applications.
