Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC640LP5(E) is an analog controlled variable
gain amplifier which operates from 0.4 to 3 GHz, and
can be controlled to provide anywhere from 20 dB
attenuation, to 25 dB of gain. The HMC640LP5(E)
delivers noise figure of 5 dB in its maximum gain
state, with output IP3 of up to +40 dBm in any state.
The HMC640LP5(E) Can be configured with one
attenuator for 20 dB of range, or with two attenuators
for 40 dB of range. The HMC640LP5(E) is housed in a
RoHS compliant 5x5 mm QFN leadless package, and
requires no external matching components.
