The Big Deal

• Exceptional Power Handling, Up to 2W

• Wide bandwidth, DC - 18 GHz

• Small Size, 2 mm x 2 mm

Product Overview

YAT attenuators (ROHS compliant) are fixed value, absorptive attenuators fabricated using highly repetitive

MMIC processing including thin film resistors on Silicon substrates. YAT attenuator die contain through-

wafer Cu metallization vias to realize low thermal resistance and wideband operation. YATs are available

with nominal attenuation values of 0 to 10 dB (in 1 dB steps), and 12, 15, 20, and 30 dB. Packaged in tiny

2 mm x 2 mm MCLPTM package fits into tiny spaces.

Feature

Advantages

Wideband operation, DC to 18 GHz

Supports a wide array of applications including wireless cellular, microwave communi-

cations, satellite, defense and aerospace, medical broadband and optic applications.

Small Size and simple to use

(2 mm x 2 mm)

As a single chip solution, the YAT series occupies less board space than a “T” or “Pi” pad

configuration, and ensures repeatable performance over wide frequency ranges.

High Power, Up to 2W

High power handling in a small size package.

Wide range of nominal attenuation values

0 to 10 dB (in 1 dB steps), and 12, 15, 20,

and 30 dB

Small increment offering enables circuit designer to change attenuation values without

motherboard redesign making the YAT series ideal for select at test application.

MCLPTM Package

Low Inductance, repeatable transitions, excellent thermal path make the YAT series an

ideal solution as an alternative to “do it yourself” resistor based attenuators.
