HMC235QS16G

HMC235QS16G MICROWAVE CORPORATION GaAs MMIC SMT 5 - BIT DIGITAL ATTENUATOR DC - 4 GHz FEBRUARY 2001 Features WIDE BANDWIDTH: DC - 4 GHz ATTENUATION BITS: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 dB MINIATURE QSOP-16 PACKAGE General Description The HMC235QS16G is a broadband 5-bit digital attenuator in a 16 - lead (narrow pitch) surface mount QSOP plastic package with an exposed ground slug. This package occupies the same area as an 8 lead SOIC package. The 1, 2, 4 and 8 dB bits have less than 10 degrees relative phase shift. The five primary attenuation states can be activated independently, or collectively for attenuation levels of 1 to 31 dB. The HMC235QS16G is ideal for cellular, PCS, WLL, LMDS and IF applications.This is the smallest 5 bit digital attenuator available. Min.

Signal lines should have 50 ohm impedance while the package ground leads should be connected directly to the ground plane similar to that shown above. A sufficient number of VIA holes should be used to connect the top and bottom ground planes. The evaluation circuit board as shown is available from Hittite upon request.
