HMC305ALP4 / 305ALP4E v02.0311 0.5 dB LSB GaAs MMIC 5-BIT SERIAL CONTROL DIGITAL ATTENUATOR, 0.7 - 3.8 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC305ALP4(E) is ideal for: 0.5 dB LSB Steps to 15.5 dB • Cellular/3G Infrastructure CMOS Compatible Serial Data Interface • Fixed Wireless, WiMax & WiBro SPI Compatible Serial Output • Test Instrumentation ±0.3 dB Typical Bit Error 24 Lead 4x4mm QFN Package: 16mm² TE Included in the HMC-DK004 Designer’s Kit Functional Diagram General Description LE The HMC305ALP4(E) is a broadband 5-bit positive control GaAs IC digital attenuator with CMOS compatible serial-to-parallel driver package in a leadless QFN 4x4 mm SMT package. Covering 0.7 to 3.8 GHz, the insertion loss is typically less than 1.5 to 2 dB. The attenuator bit values are 0.5 (LSB), 1, 2, 4, and 8 dB for a total attenuation of 15.5 dB. Attenuation accuracy is excellent at ±0.25 dB typical with an IIP3 of up to +52 dBm. Five bit serial control words are used to select each attenuation state. A single Vcc bias of +3V to +5V applied through an external 5 kOhm resistor is required. B SO Attenuators - DIGITAL - SMT 8 Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, Vcc = +3V to +5V Typical Max.
