Abstract
Disclosed examples include a programmable attenuator circuit providing selective cross coupling of impedance components between circuit input nodes and output nodes according to control signals to set or adjust an attenuation value of the attenuator circuit. The attenuator circuit includes a plurality of attenuator impedance components, and a switching circuit to selectively connect at least a first attenuator impedance component between the first input node and the second output node, to selectively connect at least a second attenuator impedance component between the second input node and the first output node, to selectively connect a third attenuator impedance component between the first input node and the first output node, and to selectively connect a fourth attenuator impedance component between the second input node and the second output node.
