HMC681ALP5E v00.0113 0.5 dB LSB GaAs MMIC 6-BIT DIGITAL VARIABLE GAINAMPLIFIER w/ SERIAL CONTROL, DC - 1 GHzSerial Control Interface The HMC681ALP5E contains a 3-wire SPI compatible digital interface (SERIN, CLK, LE). It is activated when P/S is kept high. The 6-bit serial word must be loaded MSB first. The positive-edge sensitive CLK and LE requires clean transitions. If mechanical switches were used, sufficient debouncing should be provided. When LE is high, T 6-bit data in the serial input register is transferred to the attenuator. When LE is high CLK is masked to prevent data M transition during output loading. For all modes of operations, gain will remain constant while LE is kept low.
