The MAAD-011057-DIE from MACOM is a 1-Bit Bidirectional Attenuator MMIC that operates from DC to 30 GHz. It has an attenuation range of 10 dB and a typical switching speed of less than 40 ns. The attenuator can handle up to 27 dBm of input power and has an insertion loss of less than 2 dB. The bit of the attenuator is controlled by a single voltage of either 0 V or -5 V. It is available as a bare die that measures 645 x 605 µm and is suitable for use in telecom infrastructure, fiber optics, phase array radars, sensors, test instruments, microwave radio & VSAT, and general-purpose applications.
