The HMC346MS8GE is an absorptive Voltage Variable Attenuator (VVA) designed by Hittite Microwave for applications operating from DC to 8 GHz. This GaAs MMIC features an 8-lead surface-mount package and provides a wide bandwidth with low phase shift versus attenuation. It includes an on-chip reference attenuator for straightforward single voltage attenuation control, typically ranging from 0 to -3V.
Key electrical specifications include a typical insertion loss of 2.5 dB and an attenuation range of up to 32 dB across the DC to 8 GHz frequency band. The return loss is typically 10 dB. Switching characteristics are rapid, with tRISE/tFALL at 2 ns and tON/tOFF at 8 ns. The device is suitable for designs requiring analog DC control of RF signal levels over a 30 dB amplitude range.
Typical applications for the HMC346MS8GE include AGC circuits and temperature compensation in microwave point-to-point and VSAT radios. Its surface-mount package facilitates integration into various RF designs.
