Product Description
The Honeywell HRF-AT4520 is a 5-bit digital
attenuator that is ideal for use in broadband
communication system applications that require
accuracy, speed and low power consumption. The
HRF-AT4520 is manufactured with Honeywell's
patented Silicon On Insulator (SOI) CMOS
manufacturing technology, which provides the
performance of GaAs with the economy and
integration capabiliti es of c onv entional CMOS.

Latch-Up: Unlike conventional CMOS digital at t enuators, Honeywells' HRF-AT4520 is immune t o latch-up.
ESD Prot ection: Although the HRF-AT4520 contains ESD protection circuitry on all digital inputs, conventional precautions should be
ta ken to ensu re that t he A bsolute Maxi mum Ratin gs are not exceeded .

Return Loss
Attenu ation State Accuracy
This Insertion Loss curve represent s the
Min/Max conditions for the “0” pass
state ver sus all proc essing and
temperatur e c onditions. The Min case
is at –40C with the “Fast” processing
conditions. The Max case is at +85C
with the “Slow” proc es si n
g
conditions.
All other combinations fall within that
band. T he typical 25C case is labeled
+25C TT .
This Return Loss set of curves
represents the combination of all Ret ur n
Loss cases for all attenuation settin
g
s.
All cases are better than –14dB Return
Loss at 4GHz.
The Attenuation Accur ac y curve with
verti c al axi s of +/- 1dB shows all st ates
bett er than +/ - 0.5dB to 2GHz and better
than +/- 0.8dB to 4GHz.

Compression
The P1dB curv e shows all stat es with a
P1dB compression at appr ox imately 23dB
input power. T he condi tions for this curve
are Vdd = +5.0v and Vss = 0v. For higher
P1dB compression values, supply V ss wit h
a negative v oltage as shown in the nex t
curve.
The P1dB curv e shows all stat es with a P 1dB
compression at appr ox imately 31dB input
power. The conditions for this curve are Vdd =
+5.0v and Vss = -5.0v.
