EXB-24AB2ER8X

Attenuators

Attenuators, also known as resistive dividers, are passive electronic components which are used to reduce an electrical signal from one of its source without adding any active external elements. Such elements are used in applications where signal levels have to be minimised. The EXB-24AB2ER8X is a high precision dual stage network attenuator module. The device consists of two resistors that provide a signal attenuation of up to 24dB.

EXB-24AB2ER8X Application Field and Working Principle

The EXB-24AB2ER8X is designed for a wide range of applications, including RF signals, AC/DC measurement circuits, microphones and audio amplifiers. In addition, it can be used in radio receiving systems to reduce signal level in order to avoid signal saturation. The EXB-24AB2ER8X is a dual stage network attenuator module which provides a total attenuation of up to 24dB. It is divided into two sections; each section contains two resistors which are connected in parallel. The first section is designed to provide an initial attenuation of up to 6dB, while the second section is designed to provide an additional attenuation of up to 18dB. The two stages can be used together, or independently. The total attenuation of the device is dependent on the value of the resistors used and on the configuration.

The EXB-24AB2ER8X operates in two different modes; a dynamic range mode and a linear range mode. The dynamic range mode is used when the attenuation needs to be adjusted over a wide range, and provides a total attenuation of up to 24dB. The linear range mode is used when the attenuation needs to be relatively constant, and provides a total attenuation of up to 24dB.

The EXB-24AB2ER8X is powered by a single voltage source which can range from 3.3V to 15V. The maximum current draw of the device is typically 1mA. The device is typically constructed of a through hole PCB design and is available in a range of sizes. The device is available with a variety of connections, including screw terminals, SMA connectors, and BNC connectors.
