Description
The SKY12347-362LF is a GaAs pHEMT six-bit broadband digital
attenuator with a 0.5 dB Least Significant Bit (LSB). A Transistorto-Transistor Logic (TTL)/CMOS-compatible, dual-mode serial or
parallel interface controller is integrated into the device.
The attenuator features low insertion loss, excellent attenuation
accuracy, a 31.5 dB attenuation range, and high linearity
performance. The SKY12347-362LF is an ideal choice for a wide
variety of cellular 3G and 4G infrastructure applications.
Attenuation is controlled by a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI).
Depending on the SPI sequence applied to the SDI pin, the
attenuation state between the RF1 and RF2 pins can vary between
a low insertion loss state or up to 31.5 dB. The D0 through D5 DC
control pins determine the attenuation state if parallel mode is
enabled.
The device is provided in a 4 x 4 mm, 24-pin Quad Flat No-Lead
(QFN) package. A functional block diagram is shown in Figure 1.
The pin configuration and package are shown in Figure 2. Signal
pin assignments and functional pin descriptions are provided in
Table 1.

DATA SHEET • SKY12347-362LF SIX-BIT DIGITAL ATTENUATOR
Functional Description
Power-up sequence is as follows:
The SKY12347-362LF is a six bit digital attenuator comprised of a
GaAs attenuator and a silicon CMOS driver. The attenuation
setting is controlled by an SPI. Attenuation is set by a stream of
data that is clocked into the shift registers of the silicon chip by
the clock signal. To set the attenuation state, a latch signal is sent
to the appropriate pin to send the correct bias voltages to the
GaAs attenuator.
0. Connect ground
More than one attenuator can be cascaded together and the data
may be passed through one device to the other using the SDO
signal (pin 15). The DC bias voltage to the silicon CMOS chip is
applied to pin 18 (VDD).
1. Apply VDD
2. Set all inputs (CLK, SDI, LE)
The power-down sequence is the reverse of above.
Figure 4 shows an example of how to set the attenuator to the
0.5 dB state. The progression of the bit states vs the clock signal
is shown. The timing diagram shows that when the latch enable
signal goes high, the voltages D0 to D5 set the attenuator to the
0.5 dB state.
Electrical and Mechanical Specifications
Power-Up/Power-Down Timing
Serial input data (SDI pin) is shifted into the register on the rising
edge of the clock (CLK pin), Least Significant Bit (LSB) first. The
attenuator changes states on the rising edge of the latch enable
(LE pin) signal, according to the most recent six bits of shifted data
accepted since the previous falling edge of the latch enable signal.
The serial data output is the serial input data delayed by six clock
cycles.
The absolute maximum ratings of the SKY12347-362LF are
provided in Table 4. Electrical specifications are provided in
Tables 5 and 6.
Typical performance characteristics of the SKY12347-362LF are
illustrated in Figures 5 through 11.
The state of the SKY12347-362LF is determined by the logic
provided in Table 7.
Refer to the timing diagram in Figure 3 and timing parameter
specifications in Table 2. Table 3 shows the transition states
based on the LE and CLK signals.

Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may reduce device reliability. There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other
parameters set at or below their nominal value. Exceeding any of the limits listed here may result in permanent damage to the device.
CAUTION: Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage this device. This device
must be protected at all times from ESD. Static charges may easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the human body
or equipment, which can discharge without detection. Industry-standard ESD precautions should be used at all times.
