Product Specification PE43502 50 RF Digital Attenuator 5-bit, 15.5 dB, 9 kHz - 6 GHz Product Description Features The PE43502 is a HaRP-enhanced, high linearity, 5-bit RF Digital Step Attenuator (DSA). This highly versatile DSA HaRP-enhanced UltraCMOS device covers a 15.5 dB attenuation range in 0.5 dB steps. The Attenuation: 0.5 dB steps to 15.5-dB Peregrine 50 RF DSA provides multiple CMOS control interfaces. It maintains high attenuation accuracy over High Linearity: Typical +58 dBm IP3 frequency and temperature and exhibits very low insertion loss Excellent low-frequency performance and low power consumption. Performance does not change 3.3 V or 5.0 V Power Supply Voltage with V due to on-board regulator. This next generation DD Peregrine DSA is available in a 4x4 mm 24-lead QFN footprint. Fast switch settling time Programming Modes: The PE43502 is manufactured on Peregrines UltraCMOS process, a patented variation of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) Direct Parallel technology on a sapphire substrate, offering the performance Latched Parallel of GaAs with the economy and integration of conventional Serial CMOS. High-attenuation state power-up (PUP) CMOS Compatible Figure 1. Package Photo No DC blocking capacitors required 24-lead 4x4x0.85 mm QFN Package Packaged in a 24-lead 4x4x0.85 mm QFN Figure 2.
