MACOM Attenuator - PCB Mount MAT10010

The MAT10010 is a fixed attenuator chip from Quarktwin Technology Ltd., designed for applications requiring attenuation from DC to 20 GHz. It provides 1 dB of attenuation with an insertion loss of ¬±0.30 dB and a return loss greater than 18 dB across its operational frequency range. The device is capable of handling medium power levels up to 2 W CW and features a compact footprint of 0.030,Äù x 0.030,Äù (0.762 x 0.762 mm). The MAT10010 is constructed using advanced thin film metallization and photolithography technology, ensuring good stability over temperature with a temperature coefficient of resistance (TRC) of less than 100 PPM. The chip includes a metalized ground connection that wraps around the corners, eliminating the need for additional ground bonding. It is RoHS compliant and can be attached using conductive epoxy or solder preform, with gold contacts facilitating reliable assembly. Engineers considering this product should note its suitability for high-frequency applications and its robust performance characteristics.
