HMC801LP3E

HMC801LP3E v01.0610 15 dB GaAs MMIC 1-BIT DIGITAL POSITIVE CONTROL ATTENUATOR, DC - 10 GHz Features ± 0.4 dB typical step error Low Insertion Loss: 2 dB High IP3: +53 dBm single Control Line ttL/CMos Compatible Control single +5V supply 16 Lead 3x3 mm sMt Package: 9 mm² 5 AttenuAtors - DIGItAL - sMt Typical Applications the HMC801LP3e is ideal for both rF and IF applications: • test equipment and sensors • IsM, MMDs, WLAn, WiMAX, WiBro • Microwave radio & VsAt • Cellular Infrastructure Functional Diagram General Description the HMC801LP3e is a broadband bidirectional 1-bit GaAs IC digital attenuator in a low cost leadless surface mount package. this single positive control line digital attenuator utilizes off chip AC ground capacitors for near DC operation, making it suitable for a wide variety of rF and IF applications. Covering DC to 10 GHz, the insertion loss is less than 2 dB typical and attenuation accuracy is excellent at ±0.4 dB typical step error. the attenuator also features a high IIP3 of +53 dBm. one ttL/CMos control input is used to select the attenuation state and a single Vdd bias of +5V is required.
