F1977 Datasheet, PDF (1/21 Pages) Integrated Device Technology – Digital Step Attenuator

7-Bit, 75 Ω, Digital Step Attenuator
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This document describes the specification for the
F1977 Digital Step Attenuator. The F1977 is part of a
family of Glitch-Free^TM DSAs optimized for the
demanding requirements of CATV and Satellite
systems. These devices are offered in a compact
5 mm x 5 mm 32 pin QFN package with 75 Ω
impedances for ease of integration.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Digital step attenuators are used in Receivers and
Transmitters to provide gain control. The F1977 is a
7-bit step attenuator optimized for these demanding
applications. The silicon design has very low insertion
loss, low distortion (+64 dBm IIP3) and pinpoint
attenuation accuracy. Most importantly, the F1977
includes IDT’s Glitch-Free^TM technology which results in
low overshoot & ringing during MSB transitions.
Lowest insertion loss for best SNR
Extremely accurate attenuation levels.
Ultra low distortion.
Glitch-Free^TM technology to protect PA or ADC
during transitions between attenuation states.
