HMC-VVD106 v02.0420 GaAs PIN MMIC VOLTAGE-VARIABLE ATTENUATOR, 36 - 50 GHz 1 Typical Applications Features Low Insertion Loss: 1.5 dB This HMC-VVD106 is ideal for: Short Haul / High Capacity Radios Wide Dynamic Range: 22 dB Balanced Topology Automotive Radar Test Equipment High Input IP3: +17 dBm Analog Control Voltage: 0 to +4V SATCOM Military Die Size: 1.47 x 1.5 x 0.1 mm Point-to-Point Radios Point to Multi-Point Radios General Description Functional Diagram The HMC-VVD106 is a monolithic GaAs PIN diode based Voltage Variable Attenuator (VVA) which exhibits low insertion loss, high IP3, and wide dynamic 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 on chip in a 50 Ohm environment and contacted with RF probes. Electrical Specifications, T = +25 C, 50 Ohm System A Parameter Min. Typ. Max.
