This single positive control line per bit digital attenuator utilizes off chip AC g r o u n d c a p a c i t o r s f o r n e a r D C o p e r a t i o n , m a k i n g i t suitable for a wide variety of RF and IF applications. Covering DC to 5.5 GHz, the insertion loss is less than 1 dB typical. The attenuator bit values are 1 (LSB), 2, 4 and 8 dB for a total attenuation of 15 dB. Attenuation accuracy is excellent at ± 0.2 dB typical step error. The attenuator also features a IIP3 of +50 d B m .

For price, delivery, and to place orders, please contact Hittite Microwave Corporation: Order On-line at www.hittite.com Evaluation PCB The circuit board used in the fi nal application should use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should have 50 ohm impedance while the package ground leads and exposed paddle should be con- nected directly to the ground plane similar to that shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be used to connect the top and bottom ground planes. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
