General Description
The HMC813LC4B is a Successive Detection Log
Video Amplifier (SDLVA) with a limited RF output
which operates from 1 to 20 GHz. The HMC813LC4B
provides a logging range of 55 dB. This device offers
typical fast rise/fall times of 5/10 ns. The HMC813LC4B
log video output slope is typically 15 mV/dB. Maximum
recovery times are less than 15 ns. Ideal for high speed
channelized receiver applications, the HMC813LC4B
operates from a single +3.3 V supply, and consumes
only 153 mA. The HMC813LC4B is available in a highly
compact 4x4 mm SMT ceramic package and is ideal for
high speed channelized receiver applications.
