Abstract
The present disclosure provides an attenuator and associated methods of operations. An exemplary attenuator includes an input terminal, an output terminal, a voltage reference terminal, a first attenuation segment coupled with the input terminal and the output terminal, and a second attenuation segment coupled with the first attenuation segment and the voltage reference terminal. The attenuator further includes at least two switches coupled with the input terminal and the output terminal in parallel with the first attenuation segment, where at least some of the at least two switches have an associated voltage control terminal. For example, the attenuator includes a first switch and a second switch coupled with the input terminal and the output terminal in parallel with the first attenuation segment, wherein a first voltage control terminal is coupled with the first switch and a second voltage control terminal is coupled with the second switch.
