M/A-COM Technology Solutions Introduces 6-Bit Digital Attenuator with Serial / Parallel Control for 75 Ohm Systems Operating up to 1 GHz
The MAAD-008866 includes an integrated TTL/CMOS compatible driver and offers parallel and serial control with a power-up state function. The device achieves an insertion loss of 1.4 dB with a typical input return loss of 18 dB from 5 MHz to 1,000 MHz. Attenuation accuracy is plus/minus 0.15 dB plus 4% of attenuation setting.
“The new digital attenuator enables broadband equipment manufacturers to maximize signal level control performance in home gateways, passive optical nodes, cable cards and RF tuners,” said Graham Board, Global Product Manager, CATV products. “Made with our proven pHEMT process and ‘green’ over-mold packaging, the attenuator expands our Broadband/CATV product portfolio of 75 Ohm products that includes a variety of amplifiers, switches and multifunction ICs.”
Engineering samples, sample boards and production devices are available now. The evaluation board part number is MAAD-008866-001SMB. The MAAD-008866 is sold in 13-inch, 3,000 piece reels.
