Product Features
Pin Configuration
The TQP4M9083 is a high linearity, low insertion loss, 7-bit,
31.75 dB Digital Step Attenuator (DSA) operating over the
0.4–3.5GHz frequency range. The digital step attenuator uses
a single positive 5V supply and has a serial periphery
interface (SPITM) for changing attenuation states. This
product maintains high attenuation accuracy over frequency
and temperature. No external matching components are
needed for the DSA.
The TQP4M9083 is available in a standard lead-free
/green/RoHS-compliant 24-pin 4x4mm QFN package. The
TQP4M9071 and TQP4M9072 are also available from
TriQuint as a footprint and pin compatible 6-bit, 31.5dB DSA
with a parallel control interface and serial control interface
respectively.

TQP4M9083
High Linearity 7-Bit, 31.75dB Digital Step Attenuator
Serial Control Interface
The TQP4M9083 has a CMOS SPITM input compatible serial interface. The input is 3-wire: Clock (CLK), Latch Enable (LE)
and Serial Input (SERIN). At power up, the serial control interface resets device attenuation state to 31.75dB. The 7-bit
SERIN word is loaded into the register on rising edge of the CLK, MSB first. Serial Output ( SEROUT) is propagated on
rising clock egde through an internal 7-bit register. MSB, the first data to be loaded on SERIN, will appear on SEROUT after
the 7th rising clock edge cycle.
When LE is high, CLK is internally disabled.

Applications Information
PC Board Layout
Top RF layer is .020” Rogers-4003, єr = 3.45, 4 total layers
(0.062” thick) for mechanical rigidity. Metal layers are 1-oz
copper. Microstrip line details: width = .040”, spacing = .020”.

The PC board is designed to test using USB control interface
board, Evaluation Board Host (EVH). Each TQP4M9083
evaluation board is supplied with the EVH board, USB cable and
EVH graphical user interface (EVH GUI) to change attenuation
states. Manual for using EVH and Application note describing
the EVH are also available. Refer to TriQuint’s website for more
information

C14
RF layout is critical for getting the best performance. RF trace
impedance needs to be 50 ohm. For measuring the actual device
performance on connectorized PC board, input losses due to RF
traces need to be subtracted from the data measured through
SMA connectors. The calibration microstrip line J6-J7 estimates
the PCB insertion loss for removal from the evaluation board
measured data. All data shown on the datasheet are deembedded up to the device input/output pins.
R1
External DC blocking capacitors ( C1 and C3) are required on
RFin and RFout pins of the device. The supply voltage for the
DSA is supplied externally through pin Vdd. Frequency
bypassing for this pin is supplied by surface mount capacitor 0.1
uF (C4). This capacitor is placed close to the device pin in the
board layout. To ensure application circuit is compatible with
different standard power supplies, 15  (R4) dropping resistor is
highly recommended on Vdd supply line.
The pad pattern shown has been developed and tested for
optimized assembly at TriQuint Semiconductor. The PCB land
pattern has been developed to accommodate lead and package
tolerances. Since surface mount processes vary from company to
company, careful process development is recommended.
