Can Hittite attentuators work for 9kHz to 100MHz, such as HMC624?

Hello everyone. I am designing with the HMC624 attentuator IC from Hittite Microwave. However, I found that when the input frequency is lower than 25MHz, the output won't work with the control word (upper than 25MHz it works well). I use a 4.7 uF capacitor for dc blocking in for each input and output side. Would anybody bring me some suggetions? Any advice is welcome.

Did you notice, that the ACGx capacitors must be dimensioned for lowest frequency of operation? See pin description.
Unfortunately, Hittite is claiming DC operation without giving a application circuit. One would expect in- and output as well as ACGx biased to a fixed voltage, respectively a dual supply used for the device in thais case. You may want to ask Hittite support about the DC point. I didn't check the datasheet of similar devices, there may be additional material.
Many thanks for FvM. I had better ask the application engineers of Hittite. It is a bit funny that I emailed them a period of time before without any replies.
