Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC291 & HMC291E are general purpose
broadband 2-bit positive control GaAs IC digital
attenuators in 6 lead SOT26 surface mount plastic
packages. Covering 0.7 to 4 GHz, the insertion loss
is typically less than 0.7 to 1.3 dB. The attenuator bit
values are 4 (LSB) and 8 dB for a total attenuation of
12 dB. Accuracy is excellent at ± 0.2 dB typical with an
IIP3 of up to +54 dBm. Two bit control voltage inputs,
toggled between 0 and +3 to +5 volts, are used to
select each attenuation state at less than 50 uA each.
A single Vdd bias of +3 to +5 volts applied through an
external 5K Ohm resistor is required.

Any combination of the above states will provide an attenuation
approximately equal to the sum of the bits selected.
Application Circuit
DC blocking capacitors C1 & C2 are required on RF1 & RF2. Choose C1 = C2 = 100 ~ 300 pF to allow lowest customer specific
frequency to pass with minimal loss. R1 = 5K Ohm is required to supply voltage to the circuit throught either PIN 3 or PIN 1.

The circuit board used in the final application should
use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines
should have 50 ohm impedance while the pack-
age ground leads should be connected directly to
the ground plane similar to that shown. A sufficient
number of VIA holes should be used to connect the
top and bottom ground planes. The evaluation cir-
cuit board as shown is available from Hittite Micro-
wave Corporation upon request.
