Fixed Chip Attenuators

Chip attenuators are available in various termination types and finishes for applications at frequencies up to 40 GHz and beyond.

Wraparound termination type C is used at frequencies < 4 GHz. At frequencies > 4GHz, inductive losses associated with the wraparound degrades performance. Flip chip mounting (film side down) reduces the inductive losses while providing a solder fillet that is readily inspected.

The planar terminations of the A termination type minimize inductive losses at higher frequencies (> 4 GHz) when the device is flip chip soldered (film side down).
