HMC346LC3B v00.1204 GaAs MMIC VOLTAGE-VARIABLE ATTENUATOR, DC - 18 GHz Typical Applications Features Wide Bandwidth: DC - 18 GHz Low Phase Shift vs. Attenuation 30 dB Attenuation Range Simplified Voltage Control RoHS Compliant 3 x 3 mm SMT Package 9 ATTENUATORS - SMT The HMC346LC3B is ideal for: * Test Instrumentation * Fiber Optics & Broadband Telecom * Microwave Radio & VSAT * Military Radios, Radar, & ECM Functional Diagram General Description The HMC346LC3B is an absorptive Voltage Variable Attenuator (VVA) in a leadless "Pb free" RoHS compliant SMT mount plastic package operating from DC 18 GHz. It features an on-chip reference attenuator for use with an external op-amp to provide simple single voltage attenuation control, 0 to -3V. The device is ideal in designs where an analog DC control signal must control RF signal levels over a 30 dB amplitude range. The HMC346LC3B allows the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
