PIN Diode Attenuator/Modulators
How to Buy
Application Notes
The Series D195 voltage-controlled linearized attenuator/modulators are integrated
assemblies consisting of a Series 195 unit and a hybridized driver circuit which
provides a nominal transfer function of 10 dB per volt. (See figure 1 below.)
Absorptive
Linearized
Frequency range: 0.5 to 18 GHz
High performance MIC quadrature
hybrid design
High speed
All of the Series D195 units except the D195OA* exhibit fall times of 20 nsec max
and rise times of 1.5 µsec max for attenuation steps of 10 dB or more. For smaller
excursions, the fall times can increase to several hundred nsec, while the rise
times remain essentially unchanged. In applications where a rapid return to
insertion loss from any level of attenuation is required, Option 59 is available. With
this option, an external pulse is applied to trigger a high-speed reset circuit, and
recovery times of 200 nsec max are obtained. Where use of an external reset
pulse as described above is not feasible, an internal reset option (Option 58) is
available which will automatically reset the unit to insertion loss within 200 nsec for
a step of 50 dB or more. The fall and rise time specifications for the D1950A* are
500 nsec max and 10 µsec max, respectively. Options 58 and 59 are not available
for this model.
*Model D1950A is a special-order product. Consult factory before ordering.

(1) Where use of an Option 59 external reset pulse (see note 2 below) is not feasible, this option is available which will
automatically sense the slope and magnitude of the control signal and reset the unit to the insertion loss state within
200 nsec for a stop of 50 dB or more.
(2) An external terminal is provided for the user to apply a fast (10 nsec, max rise time) positive-going 3-volt pulse at
least 0.5 µsec wide to accelerate the return of the attenuator to the insertion loss state with the simultaneous
lowering of the control signal to the zero voltage level. This reset can be accomplished within 200 nsec.
(3) The input impedance of units equipped with Option 59 is a circuit equivalent to approximately 50 pF in series with a
parallel combination of 100 pF and 1000 ohms.
