Description
M/A-COM's DR65-0002 is a break point free driver that produces a logarithmic output current suitable for linearizing PIN diode based shunt attenuators. This driver, in conjunction with customer defined external components, produces a linear transfer function (dB/V) between the input control voltage of the driver and the attenuation output of the PIN attenuator.
