General Description
The HMC290 is a broadband 2 - bit positive control
GaAs IC digital attenuator in a 6 lead SOT26 sur-
face mount plastic package. Covering 0.7 to 4 GHz,
the insertion loss is typically less than 0.7 dB. The
attenuator bit values are 2 (LSB) and 4 dB for a total
attenuation of 6 dB. Accuracy is excellent at ± 0.2
dB typical with an IIP3 of up to +52 dBm. Two bit
control voltage inputs, toggled between 0 and +3 to
+5 volts, are used to select each attenuation state
at less than 50 uA each. A single Vdd bias of +3 to
+5 volts applied through an external 5K Ohm resis-
tor is required. Occupying less than 9 mm², this is
the smallest 2 - bit digital attenuator available.
