Description
The AD210-25 is an IC FET digital attenuator consisting
of four monolithic attenuators with LSB of 1 dB and a total
attenuation of 15 dB with all attenuators connected.
Attenuator bits are switched with -5 and 0 V.
The AD210-25 is particularly suited where high
attenuation accuracy, low insertion loss and low
intermodulation products are required. Typical applications
include cellular, radio, wireless data, wireless local loop
and other gain/level control circuits.
