UMCC offers this  selection of pin-diode switch-Bit attenuators in wide bandwidths and high speed switching  response time. Attenuators are available on special order to fit your specific application. All units are equipped with a high speed TTL driver. Each attenuation bit is controlled by one complementary (toggle) driver ckt and controlled via a single TTL/CMOS compatible command signal..
