50Ω 9 kHz to 67 GHz, 0 - 31.5 dB, 0.5 dB step THE BIG DEAL y Super wide bandwidth, solid-state design y High power handling (+26 dBm CW) y Daisy-chain control of up to 25 units y USB control and automation y Display of attenuation state on unit. PRODUCT OVERVIEW Mini-Circuits’ UDAT-67G-30 is a general purpose, single channel programmable attenuator suitable for a wide range of signal level control applications from 9 kHz to 67 GHz. The attenuator provides 0 to 31.5 dB attenuation in 0.5 dB steps. The attenuator is housed in a compact and rugged package with precision 1.85 mm female RF connectors. A 3-character LED display on the attenuator package shows the current attenuator state. The daisy-chain control interface with “dynamic addressing” simplifies control integration, allowing multiple units to be combined into a Master / Slave chain. Simply connect, then power on and the whole chain of up to 25 compatible modules can be controlled independently through a single USB and software interface. Full software support is provided, including our user-friendly GUI application for Windows and a full API with programming instructions for Windows and Linux environments (both 32-bit and 64-bit systems). Feature Advantages Programmable attenuation sweep and hop sequences The module can be programmed with a timed sequence of attenuation settings, to run without any additional external control. High performance Solid-state design combining good accuracy with low insertion loss from 9 kHz to 67 GHz. Dynamic daisy-chain control Control up to 25 switches through a single USB interface. USB control USB HID interface provide easy compatibility with a wide range of software setups and programming environments. Full software support User friendly Windows GUI (graphical user interface) allows manual control straight out of the box, while the comprehensive API (application programming interface) with examples and instructions allows easy automation in most programming environments SOFTWARE PACKAGE

However the specifications are guaranteed for the RF in and RF out as noted on the label. There may be minor changes in performance when injecting signals to the RF Out port. 2. IP3 frequency range limited by testing capability. 3. Compression level not noted as it exceeds max safe operating power level. 4. With proper DC power connected. 5. Attenuation Transition Time is specified as the time between starting to change the attenuation state and settling on the requested attenuation state. 6. Minimum Dwell Time is the time the UDAT will take to respond to a command to change attenuation states. 7 . USB current draw for a single unit with no slave units. 8. Pass through current is the maximum supply current handling of a unit with slave modules attached. If controlling a large number of slave modules additional power supplies should be included to ensure this limit is not exceeded. See page 5 for details. 9. USB min communication time is based on the polling interval of the USB HID protocol (125 µs polling interval, 1024 bytes per packet), medium CPU load and no other high speed USB devices using the USB bus.

UDAT RESPONSE TO COMMUNICATION INTERRUPT * Can be due to a software glitch in the controlling PC or a physical disconnect of the control lines Communication is interrupted* Is power supply interrupted? YES NO RCDAT will shut down. Once power is reconnected it will restart according to the conditions previously defined by user RCDAT will maintain last state set until communication is reestablished via either control method Start RCDAT in either USB or Ethernet control BLOCK DIAGRAM

CONNECTING MULTIPLE MODULES (DAISY CHAIN) The UDAT-67G-30 model is designed to connect up to 25 modules in series (daisy chain) using dynamic addressing, meaning there is no need to specifically set the address of the modules. The addresses will be set automatically as part of establishing the communications with the computer. The module connected to the computer’s USB port will be assigned address 0 (master), the first module connected to it will get address 1 (slave) and subsequent modules incrementing up to address 24 (slave). Connections between modules will be made using the serial in/out ports with the module connected to the PC act as a master and all other as slave modules. All control will be through the master module (address 0) which is the only one communicating with the PC. Serial control out port of each module should be connected to the serial control in port of the next module. Power will be supplied from the PC via the master module up to a maximum of 500 mA. Generally, additional power supply will be needed to keep total current below 500 mA. All power supplies should be connected to the module via the module’s USB port. Connecting an additional power supply will automatically cut off power draw from the serial control in port for that module. The serial master/slave bus allows connecting modules of different types to the same daisy chain as long as all support Mini-Circuits Dynamic addressing setup. To add a new module to the setup, simply connect the module and refresh the address listing, no need to reset any of the existing modules or assign addresses manually. Note: Different module types may have different current consumption which will change the number of units which can be connected before an additional power supply is needed.
