SDA-180-060-0006-SMA

Attenuators Overview

The SDA-180-060-0006-SMA is a coaxial programmable step attenuator manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It provides an attenuation range of 0 to 60 dB with a resolution of 0.06 dB, controlled via a 10-bit TTL interface. The device operates within a frequency range of 500 MHz to 18 GHz and features SMA female-to-female connectors. Designed for module integration, it supports precise signal level adjustment in high-frequency RF applications.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• TTL-controlled 10-bit programmable digital operation
• High-resolution 0.06 dB step attenuation capability
• Coaxial design suitable for module integration

Attenuators Applications

• RF test and measurement instrumentation
• Wireless communication system calibration
• Signal processing modules requiring precise gain control

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for complete electrical specifications and pinout definitions before integration. Confirm that the TTL logic levels match your control circuitry requirements. Ensure the SMA connector gender matches your system architecture. Check regional availability as distribution may vary.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a digitally programmable attenuator is required for frequencies up to 18 GHz. The 0.06 dB resolution offers finer control compared to standard binary step attenuators. Ensure the SMA female interface aligns with your existing cabling or board layout constraints.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the Fairview Microwave series of connectorized attenuators. It is specifically designed as a module rather than a standalone cable assembly. The product line focuses on providing precise attenuation control for professional RF engineering environments.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with existing TTL control signals if considering alternative manufacturers.
