CMOS Compatible Serial Data Interface SPI Compatible Serial Output +/- 0.4 dB Typical Bit Error 4 x 4 mm QFN Plastic Package Included in the HMC-DK004 Designer’s Kit Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, Vcc = +3V to +5V Typical Applications The HMC271LP4 & HMC271LP4E are broadband 5-bit positive control GaAs IC digital attenuators with CMOS compatible serial-to-parallel drivers in low cost leadless QFN 4x4 mm SMT packages. Covering 0.7 to 3.7 GHz, the insertion loss is typically less than 2.5 dB. The attenuator bit values are 1 (LSB), 2, 4, 8, and 16 dB for a total attenuation of 31 dB. Accuracy is excellent at ± 0.4 dB typical with an IIP3 of up to +48 dBm. Five bit CMOS compatible 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. The HMC271LP4 / HMC271LP4E is ideal for:
