31.5 dB With 6 Bit Programmable CMOS Controlled
Attenuator, SMA Female to SMA Female, 0.5 dB
Steps Rated to 0.32 Watts Up to 13 GHz

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET PE70A5003

The PE70A5003 is a 6 Bit Programmable 31.5 dB Pin Diode Attenuator with Step Resolution as Low as 0.5 dB over the
Operating Frequency Range from 0 GHz to 13 GHz. The RF Input/Output Connectors are SMA Female. The control is thru a
six bit CMOS compatible serial control word that is used to select attenuation state and a single -5 VDC bias that allows the
operation at frequencies down to DC. The drop-in package is hermetically sealed with field replaceable SMA connectors and
has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. And for added confidence, this rugged package assembly is designed
to meet MIL-STD-883 test conditions for Hermeticity and Temperature Cycle.
