Description
M/A-COM’s MAPDCC0003 is an IC-based
monolithic power divider in a low cost SOIC-8
plastic package. This 2-way power divider is ideally
suited for applications where small size, low
insertion loss, superior phase/amplitude tracking
and low cost are required. Typical applications
include base station switching networks and other
communication applications where size and PCB
real estate are a premium. Available in tape and
reel.
The MAPDCC0003 is fabricated using a passive-
integrated circuit process. The process features
full-chip passivation for increased performance and
reliability.

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.
1. All specifications apply with a 50-Ohm source and load impedance.
