Product Description
The PE43610 is a 50Ω, HaRP™ technology-enhanced, 6-bit RF digital step attenuator (DSA) that supports a wide frequency range from 9 kHz to 13 GHz. The PE43610 features glitch-safe attenuation state transitions, supports 1.8V control voltage and optional VSS_EXT bypass mode to improve spurious performance, making this device ideal for test and measurement, point-to-point communication systems, and very smal aperture terminals (VSAT). The PE43610 provides an integrated digital control interface that supports both serial addressable and paral el programming of the attenuation. The PE43610 covers a 31.5 dB attenuation range in 0.5 dB and 1 dB steps. It is capable of maintaining 0.5 dB and 1 dB monotonicity through 13 GHz. In addition, no external blocking capac- itors are required if 0 VDC is present on the RF ports. The PE43610 is manufactured on pSemi’s UltraCMOS® process, a patented variation of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology. ©2019–2020, pSemi Corporation.

Truth Tables Serial Addressable Register Map Programming Options Parallel/Serial Selection Parallel Mode Interface For direct parallel programming, the LE line should be pulled HIGH. Changing attenuation state control values changes the device state to new attenuation. Direct mode is ideal for manual control of the device (using hardwire, switches, or jumpers).
