HMC-VVD104 v01.0209 GaAs PIN MMIC VOLTAGE-VARIABLE ATTENUATOR, 70 - 86 GHz 1 Typical Applications Features This HMC-VVD104 is ideal for: Low Insertion Loss: 2 dB E-Band Communication Systems Wide Dynamic Range: 14 dB Short Haul / High Capacity Radios Balanced Topology Automotive Radar Flexible Biasing Test Equipment Single Control Voltage: -5V to +5V SATCOM and Sensors Die Size: 1.99 x 1.845 x 0.1 mm General Description Functional Diagram The HMC-VVD104 is a monolithic GaAs PIN diode based Voltage Variable Attenuator (VVA) which exhibits low insertion loss, high IP3, and wide dy- namic range. The balanced topology delivers excellent return loss while the single control voltage can be applied to either side of the die. All bond pads and the die backside are Ti/Au metallized, and the PIN diode devices are fully passivated for reliable operation. This wideband VVA MMIC is compatible with conventional die attach methods, as well as thermocompression and thermosonic wirebonding, making it ideal for MCM and hybrid microcircuit applications. All data shown herein is measured with the chip in a 50 Ohm environment and contacted with RF probes. Electrical Specifi cations, T = +25 C, 50 Ohm System A Parameter Min. Typ. Max.
