M3933/17-08N

Attenuators are used in a variety of applications where it is necessary to reduce the signal level of an amplifier stage. The M3933/17-08N offers a low resistance through which signals are passed with minimized distortion. It also serves as a voltage divider, creating an output voltage signal that is proportional to the input signal.

The M3933/17-08N attenuator is a three-terminal device with adjustable impedance levels and can be configured as either positive or negative signal attenuation. Each terminal is designed for a specific purpose and connection to the device, depending on application needs. It can be connected to an AC or DC power source and has a low internal impedance. Additionally, it features a tight tolerance of ±10% on rated resistance values.

The M3933/17-08N offers optimization and high performance levels. Its features include a low temperature coefficient of resistance, rapid response to changing input signals, and a low-noise floor. The device is suitable for applications such as audio signal conditioning, dynamic range compression, and low-level signal detection among others.

The working principle of the M3933/17-08N is based on resistance divider networks. The resistance level of the attenuator is determined by the ratio of resistors connected between the power input and ground. The input signal is applied to the high-impedance side of the divider, resulting in a voltage drop across the resistors. The signal output is obtained at the low-impedance side and is in proportion to the input signal.

The device is designed to minimize distortion and optimize noise levels at mid-frequency and higher levels. The attenuation level is adjustable by varying the load resistors connected between the input and output terminals. This provides a good way to control the level of signal attenuation with a wide range of adjustment.

The M3933/17-08N is an efficient and reliable device for use in applications where it is necessary to reduce signal level. Its features include low resistance values, adjustable impedance levels, tight tolerance, and wide adjustment range. It can be used in audio signal conditioning, dynamic range compression, and low-level signal detection applications, among others.
