New Broadband SPDTs Complement Hittite’s Single, Double & Multi-Throw MMIC SwitchesSee Page 8 for SPDT Products with up to 50 GHz of wide bandwidth.

Hittite Expands Automatic Gain Control Product Line!Complete0.7to3GHzRF-AGCSolutionin25mm2 SMT Package

Hittite has launched a new, complete rF Automatic Gain Control (rF-AGC) solution. The HMC993LP5E combines a high performance analog Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA) core with a high accuracy power detector in a roHS compliant 5 x 5 mm QFN leadless package. HMC993LP5E is ideal for AGC implementation in the 0.7 to 3 GHz frequency range in LTE/WiMAX/4G, microwave radio, VSAT, test equipment and sensor applications.

The HMC993LP5E operates from 0.7 to 3.0 GHz and features a wide gain control range from -11 dB to +32 dB. The unique VGA core also provides a consistent gain slope vs. control voltage; a characteristic which enables easier implementation of AGC loops and provides a uniform transient response over the entire attenuation range.

Generally, analog VGAs exhibit large dips in their OIP3 performances at certain control voltages or degradation as the attenuation is increased. The HMC993LP5E differentiates itself from these traditional VGAs by providing a constant OIP3 of +40 dBm over the entire attenuation range. The integrated power detector features excellent temperature stability, and the HMC993LP5E provides highly accurate power control in AGC closed loop operation which is independent of part-to-part and temperature variations.

The HMC993LP5E provides a flexible architecture, and can be configured with one or two attenuators, depending upon the dynamic range requirements of the application. It can also be used as a standalone, high performance VGA in an open loop configuration or as a compact rF-AGC solution in closed loop operation.

Due to their pas-sive architecture, the HMC1041LC4 and HMC1042LC4 can be used as an image reject mixer (IrM) in a microwave receiver, or as a transmitter single sideband (SSB) upconverter. These SMT mixers occupy only 16 mm2 of PC board area, require no external matching components, and represent a much smaller alternative to hybrid and microwave integrated circuit based image reject mixers and single sideband upconverter assemblies.

With the addition of these two new products, Hittite offers an I/Q mixer solution for virtually every microwave radioband in operation. Many of our I/Q mixer products are available in both bare die and in SMT QFN packages.

New PLL Chipset Solution for Test & Measurement and Military

PLL Chipset for Ultimate Spurious & Phase Noise Performance!

Ideal for test & measurement and military applications, the HMC983LP5E DC to 7 GHz Fractional-N Divider and Fre-quency Sweeper and the HMC984LP4E Digital Phase-Frequency Detector and Charge Pump form a high performance

PLL chipset solution targeted at PLL FMCW sweeper applications requir-ing ultimate performance.

The HMC983LP5E integrates the industry’s largest programmable 48-bit Delta-Sigma Modulator enabling the combined PLL to achieve unparalleled fractional frequency resolution of 180 nHz. A built-in fre-quency sweeper enables the combined PLL to generate identical, coher-ent, FMCW frequency sweeps that can be linear, user-defined, automatic or triggered.

The HMC984LP4E provides an ultra low noise phase detector and charge pump capable of operating at high phase detector frequencies of 125 MHz in fractional mode, and 175 MHz in integer mode. This capability enables the PLL chipset to utilize wider loop bandwidths which result in better phase noise performance, faster PLL locking times and faster frequency sweeps. The PLL chipset phase noise Figure of Merit performance is -231 dBc/Hz in integer mode and -227 dBc/Hz in fractional mode.

Although the HMC983LP5E and the HMC984LP4E can be used sepa-rately in stand-alone applications, partitioning the PLL building blocks into two distinct devices achieves superb isolation and results in mar-ket leading spurious emissions performance exceeding -60 dBc/Hz inside-the-loop-bandwidth. Both the HMC983LP5E and the HMC984LP4E are housed in plastic leadless surface mount packages provide excellent temperature stability over the -40 °C to 85 °C operating range.

Samples and evaluation PC boards for all SMT packaged products are available from stock and can be ordered via the e-commerce site or via direct purchase order.

Portfolio of Broadband Time Delays & Phase Shifters for Clock & Data Alignment!Hittite Adds Two New Broadband Time Delay/Phase Shifter ProductsHittite Microwave Corporation has recently expanded its Broadband Time Delay/Phase Shifter portfolio adding two exciting new products, the HMC911LC4B and the HMC877LC3.

The HMC911LC4B is a DC to 24 GHz Broadband Time Delay product that pro-vides a continuously variable delay from 0 ps to 70 ps while maintaining a con-stant differential output voltage swing. The device accepts either single-ended or differential input data, while the dif-ferential output swing is adjustable from 150 mVp-p to 800 mVp-p. The modula-tion bandwidth is 1.6 GHz, which is the highest phase modulation bandwidth available in the market. Suitable for both clock and data lane alignment applications, the HMC911LC4B is ideal for 10G, 40G rZ-DQPSK, 100G DWDM rZ Carver clock chain and skew adjustments in the fiber optic domain.

The HMC911LC4B features internal temperature compensation and bias circuitry to minimize delay variations with temperature.

The HMC877LC3 Broadband Time Delay/Phase Shifter is ideal for clock chain and skew adjustment in 10G-rZ, 40G/100G rZ-DQPSK fiber optic applications. The HMC877LC3 is the first Time Delay/Phase Shifter product in the market to provide 0 to 500° (1.4 unit Interval) continuously adjustable delay over a wide 8 to 23 GHz frequency range. The device provides a differential output voltage with constant amplitude for single-ended or differential input voltages above the input sensitivity level. A con-trol pin may be used to adjust the output voltage swing between 500 mVp-p and 900 mVp-p. This device provides a time delay/phase shift which is linearly

monotonic with respect to the differen-tial delay control voltage, over a ±0.6V tuning range. It also features internal temperature compensation and bias circuitry to minimize delay variation with temperature, ensuring an extremely stable programmable time delay over both frequency and temperature. A high delay control modulation bandwidth (3 dB rolloff point) of 2.5 GHz combined with single +3.3V operation also make the HMC877LC3 an excellent choice for military, space, test & measurement and broadband applications.

The HMC911LC4B and HMC877LC3, a long w i th p rev ious ly re leased HMC856LC5 and HMC910LC4B time delays complement many of Hittite’s limiting amplifiers, modulator drivers and high speed logic products to pro-vide a complete solution for fiber optic and test equipment applications.
