Product Description
The Honeywell HRF-AT4610 is a 6-bit digital
attenuator that is ideal for use in broadband
communication system applications that require
accuracy, speed and low power consumption. The
HRF-AT4610 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 CMO S digital att enuators, Honeywell's HRF-AT4610 is im m une t o latch-up.
ESD Prot ection: Al though the HRF-AT4610 contains ESD prot ecti on circuitry on all digital inputs, conventional precauti ons should
be taken to ensure that the Absolute Maximum Rati ngs are not exceeded.

Performance Curves
Insertion Loss
Return Loss
Thi s Inserti on Loss curve r epresents the
Min/Max conditions for the “0” pass
state versus all processin
g
and
temperature conditions. The Min case
is at –40C with the “Fast” processin
g
conditions. The Max case is at +85C
with the “Slow” processin
g
conditions.
All other combinations fall within that
band. The typical 25C case is labeled
+25C TT .
This Return Loss set of curves
represents the combination of all Return
Loss cases for all attenuation settin
g
s.
All cases are better than –14dB Return
Loss at 4GHz.

P1dB compression values, supply Vss
with a ne

The P1dB curve shows all states with a
P1dB compression at approximately 31dB
input power. The conditions for this curve
are Vdd = +5.0v and Vss = -5.0v.
