Option:VAD in DIP Package is available with a shaft.Part number with a suffix H represents VAD with a handling shaft.
For example,VAD1530BDH is 0-15dB,3dB/step,75ohm,DIP,with handling shaft.

Application Note:


Free Samples and Evaluation boards are available upon request


Example1:
You need 2 sets(pieces) of VAD,it can meet the attenuation range:0 to 18 dB by 1dB/step

VAD(A):0,1,2,3,4,5dB;
VAD(B):0,6,12,13,13,13dB;
You can get the attenuation value are:A+B=M dB
Application1:When A=0,1,2,3,4,or5dB,B=0dB,then M=A+B=0,1,2,3,4,or5dB;
Application2:When A=0,1,2,3,4,or5dB,B=6dB,then M=A+B=6,7,8,9,10,or11dB;
Application3:When A=0,1,2,3,4,or5dB,B=12dB,then M=A+B=12,13,14,15,16,or17dB;
Application4:When A=0,1,2,3,4,or5dB,B=13dB,then M=A+B=13,14,15,16,17,or18dB;

Example2:
You need 2 sets(pieces)of VAD,it can meet the attenuation range:0 to 20 dB by 1dB/step

VAD(A):0,1,2,3,4,5dB;
VAD(B):0,6,12,15,15,15dB;
You can get the attenuation value are:A+B=M dB
Application1:When A=0,1,2,3,4,or5dB,B=0dB,then M=A+B=0,1,2,3,4,or5dB;
Application2:When A=0,1,2,3,4,or5dB,B=6dB,then M=A+B=6,7,8,9,10,or11dB;
Application3:When A=0,1,2,3,4,or5dB,B=12dB,then M=A+B=12,13,14,15,16,or17dB;
Application4:When A=0,1,2,3,4,or5dB,B=15dB,then M=A+B=15,16,17,18,19,or20dB;
