250MHz to 4000MHz Dual,
Analog Voltage Variable Attenuator
MAX19790
19-5165; Rev 0; 3/10
General Description
The MAX19790 dual, general-purpose analog voltage
variable attenuator (VVA) is designed to interface with
50I systems operating in the 250MHz to 4000MHz fre-
quency range. Each attenuator includes a control circuit
that provides 22dB of attenuation range with a linear
control slope of 10dB/V.
Both attenuators share a common analog control and
can be cascaded together to yield 44dB of total dynamic
range, with a combined linear control slope of 20dB/V.
The IC is a monolithic device designed on one of Maxim’s
proprietary SiGe BiCMOS processes. The device oper-
ates from a single +5.0V supply and is available in a com-
pact, 36-pin thin QFN package (6mm x 6mm x 0.8mm)
with an exposed pad. Electrical performance is guaran-
teed over the extended -40° to +85°C temperature range.

RECOMMENDED AC OPERATING CONDITIONS
ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Note 1: TC is the temperature on the exposed pad of the package. TA is the ambient temperature of the device and PCB.
Note 2: Based on junction temperature TJ = TC + (θJC x VCC x ICC). This formula can be used when the temperature of the exposed
pad is known while the device is soldered down to a PCB. See the Applications Information section for details. The junction
temperature must not exceed +150°C.
Note 3: Junction temperature TJ = TA + JA x VCC x ICC). This formula can be used when the ambient temperature of the PCB is
known. The junction temperature must not exceed +150°C.
Note 4: Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-
layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.

Detailed Description
The MAX19790 is a dual, general-purpose analog volt-
age variable attenuator (VVA) designed to interface
with 50I systems operating in the 250MHz to 4000MHz
frequency range. Each attenuator includes a control
circuit that provides 22dB of attenuation range with a
linear control slope of 10dB/V. Both attenuators share a
common analog control and can be cascaded together
to yield 44dB of total dynamic range, with a combined
linear control slope of 20dB/V.
Applications Information
Analog Attenuation Control
A single input voltage at the CTRL pin adjusts the attenu-
ation of the device. Up to 22dB of attenuation-control
range is provided per attenuator. At the insertion-loss
setting, the attenuator’s loss is approximately 2.4dB.
If a larger attenuation-control range is desired, the
second on-chip attenuator can be connected in series to
provide an additional 22dB of gain-control range.
Note that the CTRL pin simultaneously adjusts both
on-chip attenuators. The CTRL input voltage drives a
high-impedance load (> 50kI). It is suggested that a
current-limiting resistor be included in series with this
connection, to limit the input current to less than 40mA,
should the control voltage be applied when VCC is not
present. A series resistor of greater than 200I provides
complete protection for +5.0V control voltage ranges.
Note: To ensure the reliability of the device, limit CTRL
input voltages to a +1.0V to +4.0V range when VCC is
present.
Layout Considerations
A properly designed PCB is an essential part of any
RF/microwave circuit. Keep RF signal lines as short as
possible to reduce losses, radiation, and inductance.
For best performance, route the ground-pin traces
directly to the exposed pad underneath the package.
This pad MUST be connected to the ground plane of
the board by using multiple vias under the device to
provide the best RF and thermal conduction path. Solder
the exposed pad on the bottom of the device package
to a PCB.
Power-Supply Bypassing
Proper voltage-supply bypassing is essential for high-
frequency circuit stability. Bypass each VCC pin with
capacitors placed as close as possible to the device.
Place the smallest capacitor closest to the device. See
the Typical Application Circuit and Table 1 for details.
Table 1. Typical Application Circuit Component Values
*C8 can be used to provide additional filtering. Depending on the external driver used on the CTRL line, this capacitance could
slow down the response time.

Note: U1 has an exposed pad
conductor, which requires it to be
solder-attached to a grounded
pad on the PCB to ensure a
proper electrical/thermal design.

Typical Application Circuit
Exposed Pad RF and Thermal
Considerations
The exposed pad (EP) of the device’s 36-pin thin QFN
package provides a low thermal-resistance path to
the die. It is important that the PCB on which the IC is
mounted be designed to conduct heat from this contact.
In addition, provide the EP with a low-inductance RF
ground path for the device.
The EP MUST be soldered to a ground plane on the
PCB, either directly or through an array of plated via
holes. Soldering the pad to ground is also critical
for efficient heat transfer. Use a solid ground plane
wherever possible.
