Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC210MS8 & HMC210MS8E are miniature
absorptive voltage variable attenuators in 8-lead
MSOP packages. 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
possible with a reduced attenuation range of 31 dB.
