Resistor Assembling Schemes for Attenuator Switches

25.10.2018 10:58

Series Type Stepped Attenuator Scheme:

  • Easy scheme, fast to assemble
  • Acts like a potentiometer, easy to use
  • No "Pops" or "Clicks" when switching
  • Fewer parts, low costs

 

Resistors in Series for Attenuator Switches Scheme

 

Shunt Type Attenuator:

  • Only two resistors total in the signal chain 
  • Easy to build
  • Lower costs than for example a ladder type attenuator
  • One constant input to output resistor
  • Similar behaving like a ladder attenuator but fewer parts

 

Shunt Attenuator Switch Scheme

 

 

Simple Impedance selector switch:

  • Just one resistor for each position
  • Easy to build
  • Not recommended for passive attenuation because of low impedances
  • can be used as impedance-changer or regulator for OPA, pad or other devices which accept a fix impedance.
