The QPC3223 is a 2-bit digital step attenuator (DSA) that features high linearity over the entire 18 dB gain control range in 6 dB steps. The QPC3223 uses a parallel control interface and has a low insertion loss of 0.8 dB at 2 GHz. The patented circuit architecture provides overshoot-free transient switching performance using a single +3 V to +5 V power supply.
The QPC3223 is available in an industry standard 12 pad 3 mm x 3 mm QFN package that is lead-free and RoHScompliant

X-Microwave Design System
This product is available as an X-Microwave Block (X-MWblock) for evaluation.
X-MWblocks are RF and microwave "drop-in" components that can be used individually for prototyping or in production assemblies. X-MWblocks are easy to test, integrate, align, and configure to 60 GHz and beyond. No messy sweat soldering or silver epoxy processes are required. X-MWblocks are highly characterized with S-parameter models and connect with a patented solder-less interconnect technology.
