Abstract

In this article a fully differential CMOS attenuator with automatic matching and control linearization is presented. The circuit was measured from 100 MHz to 10 GHz and exhibits a phase variation of only 4° within an attenuation control range of 30 dB. The maximum gain control range is almost 50 dB. The control circuitry draws less than 500 μA from a 1.8 V supply. The circuit was fabricated in 0.18 μm CMOS requiring only 0.044 mm2 of chip area.
