HMC273A Series

The HMC273AMS10G(E) is a general purpose broadband 5-Bit positive control GaAs IC digital attenuator in a 10 lead MSOP plastic package. Covering 0.7 to 3.8 GHz, the insertion loss is typically less than 3 dB. The attenuator bit values are 1 (LSB), 2, 4, 8, and 16 dB for a total attenuation of 31 dB. Accuracy is excellent at ±0.2 dB typical with an IIP3 of up to +46 dBm. Five bit control voltage inputs, toggled between 0 and +3 to +5 volts, are used to select each attenuation state. A single Vdd bias of +3 to +5 volts applied through an external 5K Ohm resistor is required.ApplicationsCellular; UMTS/3G infrastructureISM, MMDS, WLAN, WiMAXMicrowave radio & VSATTest equipment and sensors
