Functional Diagram
General Description
The hmC877lC3 is a phase shifter/time delay with 0 to 500°(1.4 Ui) continuously adjustable shift/delay range. The delay control is linearly monotonic with respect to the differential control voltage (VdCP, VdCn) and the control input has a modulation bandwidth of 2.5 Ghz. The device provides a differential output voltage with constant amplitude for singleended or differential input voltages above the input sensitivity level, while the output voltage swing may be adjusted using the VaC control pin. The hmC877lC3 features internal temperature compensation and bias circuitry to minimize delay variations with temperature. The device also features a delay control voltage range adjustment pin, lC. all rf input and outputs of the hmC877lC3 are internally terminated with 50 ohms to Vcc, and may either be aC or dC coupled. output pins can be connected directly to a 50 ohm to Vcc terminated system, while dC blocking capacitors must be used if the terminated system input is 50 ohms to a dC voltage other than Vcc. The hmC877lC3 is available in rohs-compliant 3x3 mm smT package.

The circuit board used in the 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 board should be mounted to an appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from hittite upon request.
