Above reference insertion loss. All specifications apply when operated with bias voltages of +5V for VCC and -5.0 V to -8.0 V for VEE and 50 impedance at all ports unless otherwise stated. This attenuator is guaranteed monotonic. For the attenuator to meet the guaranteed specifications, it is necessary to have a DC return on either RF1 or RF2. The DC return can be either a 10K resistor, or an RF choke. VEE = -5 V for the typical numbers given. Absolute Maximum Ratings 6,7 Parameter Max. Input Power 0.05 GHz 0.5 - 2.0 GHz VCC 6. 7. 8.

M/A-COM does not recommend sustained operation near these survivability limits. Standard CMOS TTL interface, latch-up will occur if logic signal is applied prior to power supply. 2 ADVANCED: Data Sheets contain information regarding a product M/A-COM Technology Solutions * North America Tel: 800.366.2266 * Europe Tel: +353.21.244.6400 is considering for development.
