6 v.3.5 db LSB GaAs MMIC 6-BIT DIGITAL VARIABLE GAIN Serial Control Interface The HMC68ALP5E 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, 6-bit data in the serial input register is transferred to the attenuator. When LE is high CLK is masked to prevent data transition during output loading. For all modes of operations, gain will remain constant while LE is kept low.
