Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC681ALP5E is a digitally controlled variable
gain amplifier which operates from DC to 1 GHz,
and can be programmed to provide anywhere from
13.5 dB, to 45 dB of gain, in 0.5 dB steps. The
HMC681ALP5E delivers noise figure of 2.8 dB in its
maximum gain state, with output IP3 of up to +36
dBm in any state. This serially controlled digital VGA
incorporates off chip AC ground capacitors for near
DC operation, making it suitable for a wide variety of
RF and IF applications. The HMC681ALP5E is housed
in a RoHS compliant 5x5 mm QFN leadless package,
and provides the user with a highly integrated solution.
This functionality is also available with parallel control
as the HMC626ALP5E.

Power-Up States
If LE is set to logic LOW at power-up, the logic state
of PUP1 and PUP2 determines the power-up state of
the part per PUP truth table. The attenuator latches
in the desired power-up state approximately 200 ms
after power-up.
