General Description
The DAT-31575-SP is a 75 RF digital step attenuator that offers an attenuation range up to 31.5 dB in
0.5 dB steps. The control is a 6-bit serial interface, operating on a single +3 volt supply. The DAT-31575-SP
is produced using a unique CMOS process on silicon, offering the performance of GaAs, with the advan-
tages of conventional CMOS devices.

Notes:
1. Both RF ports must be held at 0VDC or DC blocked with an external series capacitor.
2. Latch Enable (LE) has an internal 100KΩ resistor to V
DD
.
3. Place a 10KΩ resistor in series, as close to pin as possible to avoid freq. resonance.
4. Refer to Power-up Control Settings.
5. The exposed solder pad on the bottom of the package (See Pin configuration) must
be grounded for proper device operation.
