Description
Pin Function3
The MAAV-011017 is a wide band voltage variable
attenuator with analog control. It is assembled in a
lead-free 3 mm, 16 PQFN package. This device is
ideally suited for use where high accuracy, very low
power consumption, and low intermodulation
products are required.

VMODE is a control pin to select either a positive or
negative slope to the attenuation vs. control voltage
curve. When VMODE is high, there is a positive slope
to the curve. There is a negative slope when VMODE
is low.

Exposed Pad4
The part operates down to DC but the power
handling degrades below 50 MHz. No DC blocks on
RF pins are needed if the source and loads have a
DC connection to ground.
3. MACOM recommends connecting unused package pins to
ground.
4. The exposed pad centered on the package bottom must be
connected to RF, DC and thermal ground.
