Mini-Circuits ZX76 Digital Step Attenuators

Mini-Circuits ZX76 Digital Step Attenuators feature adjustable attenuation between 0dB and 31.5dB within a wide 0.1GHz to 65GHz frequency range. The attenuators provide a 6-bit parallel control interface with single or dual positive and negative supply voltages. The Mini-Circuits ZX76 Digital Step Attenuators offer glitch-less attenuation transitions, latch-up immunity, and improved return loss. The ZX76 series’s rugged design allows it to function in harsh environments. The attenuators are ideal for testing/measurement, satellite infrastructure communications, radar, electronic warfare (EW), electronic content management (ECM), and defense system applications.
