General Description
the hMC936LP6e is a 6-bit digital phase shifter which is rated from 1.2 to 1.4 Ghz, providing 360 degrees of phase coverage, with a LsB of 5.625 degrees. the hMC936LP6e features very low rMs phase error of 1.2 degrees and extremely low inser-tion loss variation of ±0.5 dB across all phase states. this high accuracy phase shifter is controlled with positive control logic of 0/+5V and requires no negative supply voltage. the hMC936LP6e is housed in a compact 6x6 mm plastic leadless sMt package and is internally matched to 50 Ohms with no external components.
