Abstract:
An embodiment attenuator includes a plurality of circuits coupled in series. A respective circuit includes a first capacitor connected between an input node of the respective circuit and an output node of the respective circuit, and a second capacitor connected between the output node of the respective circuit and a reference node. The output node of the respective circuit, other than a last circuit of the plurality of circuits, is connected to the input node of a successive circuit. The attenuator further includes a plurality of selectors, in which the respective circuit is associated with a respective selector that is coupled between the output node of the respective circuit and an output node of the attenuator.
