Application Information

The MAAD-011021 is designed for extremely wide band and robust attenuation applications. It uses a

combination of series and shunt cold channel, multiple-gate FETs to achieve high linearity and accurate

attenuation repeatability. We recommend using double bonds at both RF input and output, as well as keeping

bondwires as short as possible. This part is the most accurate for X-band applications.

The MAAD-011021 has a built in inverter function which allows a single +5 V / 0 V single control for each bit.

This is useful if you require very fast switching times and have +5 V / 0 V available.

is not required, simply use series blocking capacitors.
