1. Frequency Range
The device operates over a frequency range of DC to 30 GHz, enabling reliable signal attenuation across a broad spectrum of applications.
2. Attenuation Characteristics
- Attenuation steps: 0.5 dB (LSB), 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 dB, providing a total attenuation range of 31.5 dB.
- Attenuation accuracy: ±0.5 dB maximum error.
- RMS phase error: Less than 5° at 20 GHz (typical minimum of 4.3°).
- Insertion loss: Typically 7.2 dB at 15 GHz.
- Return loss: Typically 12 dB across all frequencies and attenuation states.
3. Additional Features
- Integrated inverter for independent control of series and shunt attenuation cells, requiring a -5 V bias supply with a current draw of 17 mA and logic levels of 0 V / +5 V.
- Package: Die form (part number MAD-011021-000DIE) housed in a lead-free 3 mm 16-pin PQFN package.
- Other characteristics include typical bit error of ±0.5 dB, integrated TTL-compatible control (0 V / +5 V), and built-in ESD protection.
- Operational parameters: Minimum frequency of 0 MHz, maximum frequency of 30,000 MHz, insertion loss of 6.0 dB (as specified), 6-bit resolution, and an IP3 (third-order intercept point) of 38 dBm (value interpretation may vary depending on application context).
This device is well suited for high-speed communication systems and precision test equipment where accurate and programmable signal attenuation is required.
