QPC6713

50MHz to 6000MHz, Digital Step Attenuator

The QPC6713 is a 7-bit digital step attenuator (DSA) that

features high linearity over the entire 31.75dB gain control

range in 0.25dB steps. The QPC6713 uses a serial control

interface and has a low insertion loss of 1.7dB at 2GHz. The

patented circuit architecture provides overshoot-free transient

switching performance using a single 3V to 5V power supply.

External address pins allow up to eight DSAs to be controlled

on a single bus. The QPC6713 is available in a 3mm x 3mm

QFN package.
