Collin Wells, Ting Ye TI Precision Designs: Verified Design Band-Pass Filtered, Inverting -40 dB Attenuator, 10 Hz – 100 kHz, dB Error
TI Precision Designs Circuit Description TI Precision Designs are analog solutions created by An attenuator circuit is required when the magnitude TI’s analog experts. Verified Designs offer the theory, of an input signal needs to be reduced. This version component selection, simulation, complete PCB of an inverting attenuator features an easily tunable schematic & layout, bill of materials, and measured band-pass filter that is useful to limit noise and also performance of useful circuits. Circuit modifications allows for independent control of the dc output level. that help to meet alternate design goals are also The circuit can be used in a variety of applications discussed. from low-level signal generation to large input signal attenuation.
