The Min case is at –40C with the “Fast” processing conditions. The Max case is at +85C with the “Slow” processing conditions. All other combinations fall within that band. The typical 25C case is labeled +25C TT. Return Loss This Return Loss set of curves represents the combination of all Return Loss cases for all attenuation settings. All cases are better than –14dB Return Loss at 4GHz. _ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Web Site: Email: 2002 4610W www.mysoiservices.com mysoiservices@honeywell.com Published June 2002 Page 5 Honeywell Solid State Electronics Center 12001 State Highway 55 Plymouth, Minnesota 55441-4799 1-800-323-8295 HRF-AT4610 Preliminary Step Accuracy AT4610 Step Accuracy Vs Attenuation State 0.5 0.3 0.1 Step To Step Delta (dB) -0.1 StepAcc@0.01GHz -0.3 -0.5 -0.7 -0.9 -1.1 -1.3 -1.5 -3 2 7 12 17 22 27 32 StepAcc@0.1GHz StepAcc@0.5GHz StepAcc@1GHz StepAcc@2GHz StepAcc@3GHz StepAcc@4GHz Programmed Attenuation (dB) Relative Accuracy AT4610 Relative Accuracy Vs Attenuation 1.5 1 Relative Accuracy (dB) RelAcc@0.01GHz 0.5 RelAcc@0.1GHz RelAcc@0.5GHz RelAcc@1GHz RelAcc@2GHz RelAcc@3GHz RelAccMax RelAccMin 0 -3 2 7 12 17 22 27 32 -0.5 -1 -1.5 Programmed Attenuation (dB) _ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Web Site: Email: 2002 4610W www.mysoiservices.com mysoiservices@honeywell.com Published June 2002 Page 6 Honeywell Solid State Electronics Center 12001 State Highway 55 Plymouth, Minnesota 55441-4799 1-800-323-8295 HRF-AT4610 Preliminary Compression The P1dB curve shows all states with a P1dB compression at approximately 23dB input power. The conditions for this curv e are Vdd = +5.0v and Vss = 0v. For higher P1dB compression values, supply Vss with a negative voltage as shown in the next curve. The P1dB curve shows all states with a P1dB compression at approximately 31dB input power. The conditions for this curve are Vdd = +5.0v and Vss = -5.0v. _ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Web Site: Email: 2002 4610W www.mysoiservices.com mysoiservices@honeywell.com Published June 2002 Page 7 Honeywell Solid State Electronics Center 12001 State Highway 55 Plymouth, Minnesota 55441-4799 1-800-323-8295 HRF-AT4610 Preliminary Ordering Information Ordering Number HRF-AT4610-B HRF-AT4610-TR HRF-AT4610-E (Note 3) Call Honeywell for details Delivery Method In Chip Tubes On Tape And Reel On Individual Engineering Evaluation Board 3 Units Per Shipment Customer Specific, Usually Minimum Of 50 Per Chip Tube Customer Specific One Board Per Box LPCC TM is a registered Trademark of ASAT Ltd.
