16 Lead Hermetic SMT Package
General Description
The HMC335G16 is a broadband 5-bit GaAs IC
digital attenuator in a 16 lead glass/metal (hermetic)
surface mount package. Cov ering DC to 3 GHz, the
insertion loss is less than 2.3 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 70 µA each. A single V ee bias
of -5V allows operation down to DC.

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 package bottom
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.
