Any combination of the above states will provide an attenuation
approximately equal to the sum of the bits selected.
Application Circuit
DC Blocking Capacitors C1 & C2 are
required on RF1 & RF2. Choose C1 = C2 =
100 pF ~ 0.1 uF to allow lowest customer
specific frequency to pass with minimal
loss. R1= 5K Ohm is required to supply
voltage to the circuit through either Pin 11
or Pin 14.
Suggested Driver Circuit
(One Circuit Required Per Bit Control Input)
Simple driver using inexpensive standard logic ICs provides fast switching using minimum DC current. * Recommended value
to suppress unwanted RF signals at V1 - V5 control lines.
