ADRF5716BCCZN

Attenuators Overview

The ADRF5716BCCZN is a silicon, 2-bit digital step attenuator manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It provides a total attenuation control range of 48 dB with discrete steps of 16 dB. The device operates within a frequency range of 0.1 GHz to 30 GHz and maintains a system impedance of 50 ohms. Key electrical specifications include an insertion loss of 2.9 dB and a maximum input power handling capability of 30 dBm. The component supports glitch-free operation and is housed in a 20-pin VFQFN package with an exposed pad.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Supports glitch-free digital control for stable signal attenuation
• Provides wideband operation from 100 MHz to 30 GHz
• Features high linearity with 30 dBm input power handling

Attenuators Applications

• Phased array radar systems

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix (e.g., -R7 for reel packaging) against the required quantity and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm that the 20-VFLGA package dimensions match the PCB footprint requirements. Ensure compatibility with the 3.3 V control logic levels before finalizing procurement orders.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, high-frequency digital attenuator with precise 16 dB steps is required. Consider the 2.9 dB insertion loss and thermal performance through the exposed pad for high-power applications. Evaluate the 2-bit resolution against system phase noise and dynamic range requirements.
