CHT4012-QDG
RoHS COMPLIANT
DC-6GHz 6-BIT DIGITAL ATTENUATOR
GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC in SMD leadless package
Description
The CHT4012-QDG is a DC-6GHz monolithic
6-bit digital attenuator with a LSB = 0.5dB
offering a high dynamic range and a high
accuracy, the RMS amplitude error is
typically as low as 0.3dB. The circuit provides
low insertion loss 2.5dB associated to input
and output return losses better than 13dB. A
CMOS and TTL compatible interface is
available on chip.
It is designed for a wide range of
applications, from military to commercial
communication systems.
The circuit is manufactured with a pHEMT
process, 0.25µm gate length, via holes
through the substrate, air bridges and
electron beam gate lithography.
It is supplied in RoHS compliant SMD
package.
