HMC346AMS8GE

ATTENUATORS - SMT PRELIMINARY v01.0117 8 Typical Applications This attenuator is ideal for use as a VVA for DC - 8 GHz applications: Point-to-Point Radio VSAT Radio HMC346AMS8GE GaAs MMIC SMT VOLTAGE-VARIABLE ATTENUATOR, DC - 8 GHz Features Wide Bandwidth: DC - 8 GHz Low Phase Shift vs. Attenuation 32 dB Attenuation Range Functional Diagram General Description The HMC346AMS8GE is absorptive Voltage Variable Attenuators (VVA) in 8 lead surface-mount packages operating from DC - 8 GHz. It features an on-chip reference attenuator for use with an external op-amp to provide simple single voltage attenuation control, 0 to -5V. The device is ideal in designs where an analog DC control signal must control RF signal levels over a 30 dB amplitude range. Applications include AGC circuits and temperature compensation of multiple gain stages in microwave point-to-point and VSAT radios.
