Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC-VVD102 is a monolithic GaAs PIN diode
based Voltage Variable Attenuator (VVA) which
exhibits low insertion loss, high IP3 and wide dynamic
range. All bond pads and the die backside are Ti/
Au metallized and the PIN diode devices are fully
passivated for reliable operation. This wideband
MMIC VVA is compatible with conventional die
attach methods, as well as thermocompression and
thermosonic wirebonding, making it ideal for MCM
and hybrid microcircuit applications. All data shown
herein is measured with the chip in a 50 Ohm
environment and contacted with RF probes
