General Description
The HMC467LP3 & HMC467LP3E are broadband 2-bit GaAs IC digital attenuators in low cost leadless surface mount packages. Covering DC to 6.0 GHz, the insertion loss is less than 0.7 dB typical. The attenuator bit values are 2 (LSB) and 4 dB for a total attenuation of 6 dB. Attenuation accuracy is excellent at ± 0.2 dB typical step error with an IIP3 of +50 dBm. Two control voltage inputs, toggled between 0 and +5V, are used to select each attenuation state. A single Vdd bias of +5V is required.

The circuit board used in the final application should use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should have 50 ohm impedance while the package ground leads and exposed paddle 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 shown is available from Hittite upon request.
