General Description
The HMC305LP4 & HMC305LP4E are broadband
5-bit positive control GaAs IC digital attenuators with
CMOS compatible serial-to-parallel drivers packaged
in leadless QFN 4x4 mm SMT packages. Covering
0.7 to 3.8 GHz, the insertion loss is typically less
than 1.5 to 2 dB. The attenuator bit values are 0.5
(LSB), 1, 2, 4, and 8 dB for a total attenuation of
15.5 dB. Attenuation accuracy is excellent at ±0.25
dB typical with an IIP3 of up to +52 dBm. Five bit
serial control words are used to select each attenuation
state. A single Vcc bias of +3V to +5V applied through
an external 5k Ohm resistor is required.
