Abstract
An apparatus includes a bypass circuit a resistor circuit and multiple staggered circuits. The bypass circuit may have a predetermined number of a plurality of transistors connected in series between an input node and an output node. The resistor circuit may have a given number of resistors connected in series between the input node and the output node. Adjoining pairs of the resistors may be connected at given nodes. The staggered circuits may be connected between the given nodes and either the input node or the output node. Each staggered circuit may have a respective number of the transistors connected in series. The bypass circuit, the resistor circuit and the staggered circuits may form part of a bridge attenuator.
