HRF-AT4521
31.0 dB, DC - 2.5GHz, 5 Bit Serial Digital Attenuator
The Honeywell HRF-AT4521 is a 5-bit digital attenuator that is ideal for use in
broadband communication system applications that require accuracy, speed and low
power consumption. The HRF-AT4521 is manufactured with Honeywell's patented
Silicon On Insulator (SOI) CMOS manufacturing technology, which provides the
performance of GaAs with the economy and integration capabilities of conventional
CMOS. These attenuators are DC coupled to improve lower operating frequency,
frequency response and reduce the number of DC bias points required.
