63 dB Programmable TTL Controlled Attenuator, SMA Female
to SMA Female, 1 dB Steps From 200 MHz to 6 GHz
TECHNICAL DATA SHEET PE70A5009
The PE70A5009 is a 6 Bit Programmable Attenuator which operates over the frequency range of 200 MHz to 6000 MHz. The
50 ohm design supports TTL control logic and has an attenuation range that covers 0 to 63 dB in 1 dB steps. Attenuation steps
are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 dB. Insertion loss is 5.5 dB maximum with a maximum RF input power +20 dBm. Additional typical
performance includes +/- 1.0 dB attenuation accuracy and switching speed of 0.7 microseconds. The DC supply is +5 Vdc
@ 50 mA. The compact and rugged package design supports SMA female RF input/output connectors, and a 10 pin male
connector socket for DC and TTL controls. A mating DC cable connector plug assembly (model PE3C4220-24) is available in
stock as an accessory. The PE70A5009 has an operational termperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
