Covering 0.1 to 30.0 g Hz, the inser- tion loss is less than 5.5 dB typical. t he attenuator bit values are 1.0 (ls B), 2, 4, 8, 16 for a total atten- uation of 31 dB. Attenuation accuracy is excellent at 0.4 dB typical step error with an iiP3 of +43 dBm. t he control interface is CMos /ttl compatible and accepts a three wire serial input. t he HMC1018Al P4e features a user selectable power up state and a serial output port for cascading other Analog Devices serial controlled components.
