The MAAD-011045 is a wide band 6-bit, 0.5 dB step MMIC digital attenuator in a lead-free 3 mm, 20 lead surface mount plastic package. The phase is consistent across all attenuation states. This device is ideally suited for use where high accuracy, very low power consumption, and low intermodulation products are required.
This attenuator is controlled with either a SPI compatible serial interface or a 6 bit parallel word. SEROUT is the SERIN delayed by 6 clock cycles which can be used in daisy-chain operation.
