HMC290 / 290E v01.0605 2 dB LSB GaAs MMIC 2-BIT DIGITAL ATTENUATOR, 0.7 - 4.0 GHz 5 ATTENUATORS - DIGITAL - SMT Typical Applications The HMC290 / HMC290E is ideal for: • Cellular • PCS, ISM, MMDS • WLL Handset & BaseStation Features 2 dB LSB Steps to 6 dB Single Positive Control Per BIT ±0.2 dB Typical Bit Error Miniature SOT 26 Package: 9 mm2 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC290 & HMC290E are broadband 2 - bit positive control GaAs IC digital attenuators in 6 lead SOT26 surface mount plastic packages. Covering 0.7 to 4 GHz, the insertion loss is typically less than 0.7 dB. The attenuator bit values are 2 (LSB) and 4 dB for a total attenuation of 6 dB. Accuracy is excellent at ± 0.2 dB typical with an IIP3 of up to +52 dBm. Two bit control voltage inputs, toggled between 0 and +3 to +5 volts, are used to select each attenuation state at less than 50 uA each. A single Vdd bias of +3 to +5 volts applied through an external 5K Ohm resistor is required. Occupying less than 9 mm2, this is the smallest 2 - bit digital attenuator available.

Choose C1 = C2 = 100 ~ 300 pF to allow lowest customer specific frequency to pass with minimal loss. R1 = 5K Ohm is required to supply voltage to the circuit through either PIN 3 or PIN 1. Evaluation Circuit Board * R2 = R3 = 100 Ohm. These resistors are optional and may be used to enhance decoupling of the RF path from the control inputs.
