The HMC235QS16G is a broadband 5-bit digital attenuator in a 16 - lead (narrow pitch) surface mount QSOP plastic package with an exposed ground slug. This package occupies the same area as an 8 lead SOIC package. The 1, 2, 4 and 8 dB bits have less than 10 degrees relative phase shift. The five primary attenuation states can be activated independently, or collectively for attenuation levels of 1 to 31 dB.
