General Description
The HMC210MS8 is a miniature absorptive voltage
variable attenuator in an 8-lead MSOP package.
The device operates with a positive supply voltage
(+2.5V), and a positive control voltage. A unique
feature is the high third order intercept point for all
attenuation states. Operation up to 2.3 GHz is pos-
sible with a reduced attenuation range of 31 dB.
