functional Diagram
general Description
the hMC931LP4e is an analog Phase shifter which is controlled via an analog control voltage from 0 to +13V. the hMC931LP4e provides a continuously variable phase shift of 0 to 410 degrees from 8 to 12 Ghz, with extremely consistent low insertion loss versus phase shift and frequency. the high accuracy hMC931LP4e is monotonic with respect to control voltage and features a typical low phase error of +12 / -7 degrees over an octave bandwidth. the hMC931LP4e is housed in an rohs compliant 4x4 mm QfN leadless 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.
