The new XAT-series from Mini-Circuits redefines radio frequency (RF) miniaturization with the industry’s smallest monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) fixed attenuators.
Housed in an ultra-compact two-lead, 1 mm x 1 mm quad flat no-lead (QFN) package, these attenuators enable significant PCB space savings for next-generation high-density designs. Built on a robust gallium arsenide (GaAs) semiconductor process, the XAT-series features a bidirectional, fully absorptive architecture that delivers excellent passband flatness, typical 16 dB return loss and consistent, repeatable performance from DC to 45 GHz.

With up to 2 W input power handling, the series provides the performance and reliability required for demanding RF applications. It is ideal for test and measurement, satellite communications, radar, electronic warfare (EW)/electronic countermeasure (ECM), telecom infrastructure and 5G systems, where size, performance and reliability are critical.
Key features:
- 1 mm x 1 mm two-lead, QFN-style package
- 2 W power handling
- Excellent return loss
- 0 dB to 10 dB attenuation values now in stock
- Models up to 30 dB attenuation coming soon
