QPC6713 50MHz to 6000MHz Digital Step Attenuator Product Description The QPC6713 is a 7-bit digital step attenuator (DSA) that features high linearity over the entire 31.75dB gain control range in 0.25dB steps. The QPC6713 uses a serial control interface and has a low insertion loss of 1.7dB at 16 Pad 3.0mmx3.0mmx0.85mm QFN package 2GHz. The patented circuit architecture provides overshoot-free transient switching performance using a Product Features single +3V to +5V power supply. External address pins allow up to eight DSAs to be controlled on a single bus. 7-Bit, 31.75dB Range, 0.25dB Step Patented Circuit Architecture The QPC6713 is available in a standard lead-free, RoHS- Overshoot-free Transient Switching Performance compliant 16 pad 3x3mm QFN package.
