Description
M/A-COM’s MAPDCC0006 is an IC-based mono-
lithic power divider using M/A-COM’s GMIC technol-
ogy in a low cost SOIC-8 plastic package. This 3-
way power divider is ideally suited for applications
where small size, low insertion loss, superior phase/
amplitude tracking and low cost are required. Typi-
cal applications include personal communication
systems and other communication applications
where size and PCB real estate are at a
premium. Available in tape and reel.
The MAPDCC0006 is fabricated using a passive-
integrated circuit process. The process features full-
chip passivation for increased performance and reli-
ability.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
GMIC Circuits are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD) and can be damaged by static
electricity. Proper ESD control techniques should
be used when handling these device s.
Absolute Maximum Ratings 2,3
Parameter
Absolute Maximum
Input Power 4 1W CW
Operating Temperature -40°C to +85°C
Storage Temperature -65°C to +150°C
2. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
3. M/A-COM does not recommend sustained operation near
these survivability limits.
4. With internal load dissipation of 0.125W maximum.
