HMC424ALP3ETR

HMC424ALP3E is a broadband, 6bit, gallium arsenide (GaAs), digital attenuator in low cost, leadless surface-mount package with a 31.5dB attenuation control range in 0.5dB steps. This device allows a user to program the attenuation state via six parallel control inputs toggled between 0V and VEE. It operates with a single negative supply voltage from -3V to -5V, and requires an external level shifter to interface with a CMOS/transistor to transistor logic (TTL) interface. It is used in applications such as cellular infrastructure, microwave radios and very small aperture terminals (VSATs), test equipment and sensors, intermediate frequency (IF) and RF designs, military and space.

• Frequency range from 0.1GHz to 13GHz
• Insertion loss is 28dB typical at (0.1GHz to 4GHz, TCASE = 25°C)
• Rise and fall time is 30ns typical at (10% to 90% of RF output, TCASE = 25°C)
• 0.1dB compression is 22dBm typical at (VEE = -3V, TCASE = 25°C)
• Third-order intercept is 43dBm typical at (VEE = -3 V to -5V, TCASE = 25°C)
• Relative phase is 30° typical at (TCASE = 25°C)
• Operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C
• Package style is 16-lead lead frame chip scale [LFCSP]
