HMC288MS8 / 288MS8E v01.0705 2 dB LSB GaAs MMIC 3-BIT DIGITAL ATTENUATOR, 0.7 - 3.7 GHz Typical Applications Features 2 dB LSB Steps to 14 dB Single Positive Control Per BIT Monotonic: ±03 dB Bit Error Typical Miniature MSOP-8 Package, 14.8mm2 6 ATTENUATORS - SMT The HMC288MS8 / HMC288MS8E is ideal for: • Cellular • PCS, ISM, MMDS • WLL applications Functional Diagram General Description The HMC288MS8 & HMC288MS8E are broadband 3bit positive control GaAs IC digital attenuators in 8 lead MSOP surface mount plastic packages. Covering 0.7 to 3.7 GHz, the insertion loss is typically less than 1.2 to 1.8 dB. The attenuator bit values are 2 (LSB), 4, and 8 dB for a total attenuation of 14 dB. Accuracy is excellent at ± 0.3 dB typical with an IIP3 of up to +51 dBm. Three bit control voltage inputs, toggled between 0 and +3 to +5V, are used to select each attenuation state at less than 50 uA each. A single Vdd bias of +3 to +5V applied through an external 5K Ohm resistor is required while occupying less than 14.8 mm2.

Signal lines should have 50 ohm impedance while the package ground leads should be connected directly to the ground plane similar to that shown. A sufficient number of VIA holes should be used to connect the top and bottom ground planes. The evaluation circuit board as shown is available from Hittite Microwave Corporation upon request.
