General Description
The HMC307QS16G is a broadband 5-bit GaAs IC
digital attenuator in a 16 lead QSOP grounded base
surface mount plastic package. Covering DC to 4
GHz, the insertion loss is less then 2 dB typical. The
attenuator bit values are 1 (LSB), 2, 4, 8, and 16 dB
for a total attenuation of 31 dB. Attenuation accuracy is excellent at ± 0.5 dB typical with an IIP3 of up
to +44 dBm. Five bit control voltage inputs, toggled
between 0 and -5V, are used to select each attenuation state at less than 50 uA each. A single V ee bias
of -5V allows operation down to DC . This product is
an excellent alternative to the HMC235QS16G.

DC Blocking Capacitors C1 & C2 are
required on RF1 & RF2. Choose C1 = C2 =
100 pF ~ 0.1 uF to allow lowest customer

voltage to the circuit through either Pin 11
or Pin 14.

The circuit board used in the fi nal application should use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should have 50
ohm impedance while the package ground leads and exposed paddle should be connected directly to the ground plane
similar to that shown. A suffi cient number of via holes should be used to connect the top and bottom ground planes.
The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
