Description

M/A-COM's

MAAVCC0002 is a PIN diode based

voltage variable attenuator. This device is in a 6mm

square, 28 lead, plastic CSP package, suitable for

surface mounting on PCBs. These attenuators have

linear operating power and input intercept point

levels 15 - 20 dB better than GaAs FET MMIC

voltage variable attenuators. They are ideally suited

for use where low distortion, high linear operating

power and high dynamic range are required. These

devices are optimized for the PCS and UMTS

frequency bands, but exhibit excellent performance

and repeatability over the entire specified frequency

band. The

MAAVCC0002 is ideally suited for

wireless communications systems.

Pin Configuration

2,3

1. Bias current may be applied to Pin 9 or 23. However, the

unused pin must be isolated.

2. The exposed pad centered on the package bottom must be

connected to RF and DC ground. (For PQFN packages)

3. It is preferable to ground all “NC” pins, except for the unused

bias pin, which must be left open.
