General Description
The DAT-31R5-PP is a 50 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 parallel interface, operating on a single +3 volt supply. The DAT- 31R5- PP is
produced using a unique CMOS process on silicon, offering the performance of GaAs, with the advantages
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. Place a shunt 10KΩ resistor to GND
5. The exposed solder pad on the bottom of the package (See Pin configuration) must
be grounded for proper device operation.
