Summary: 2-bit digital attenuator, attenuation range 48dB, step 16dB.
Analog Devices' ADRF5717 silicon digital attenuator is a 2-bit digital attenuator with an attenuation range of 48dB in 16dB steps, supporting trouble-free operation. These attenuators operate over an ultra-wideband frequency range of 1MHz to 30GHz, with better than 2.8dB insertion loss and 3.3dB attenuation accuracy. The ADRF5717 silicon digital attenuator provides ATTIN and ATTOUT ports, providing RF input power handling capabilities of 30dBm steady-state average and 33dBm steady-state peak. These attenuators feature dual supply voltages of 3.3V and -3.3V and support single supply operation. The ADRF5717 silicon attenuator is compatible with complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) and low-voltage transistor-transistor logic (LVTTL). Typical applications include industrial scanners, test and instrumentation, 5G millimeter wave cellular infrastructure, electronic countermeasures (ECM), microwave radios and very small aperture terminals (VSAT).
