Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC288MS8 & HMC288MS8E are broadband
3-bit positive control GaAs IC digital attenuators in 8
lead MSOP surface mount plastic packages. Covering 0.7 to 3.7 GHz, the insertion loss is typically less
than 1.2 to 1.8 dB. The attenuator bit values are 2
(LSB), 4, and 8 dB for a total attenuation of 14 dB.
Accuracy is excellent at ± 0.3 dB typical with an
IIP3 of up to +51 dBm. Three bit control voltage inputs,
toggled between 0 and +3 to +5V, are used to select
each attenuation state at less than 50 uA each. A single Vdd bias of +3 to +5V applied through an external
5K Ohm resistor is required while occupying less than
14.8 mm2.
Electrical Specifi cations,
TA = +25° C, Vdd = +3V to +5V & Vctl = 0/Vdd (Unless Otherwise Stated)

Any combination of the above states will provide an attenuation

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 5 or PIN 8.

The circuit board used in the final application should
use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines
should have 50 ohm impedance while the package 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 circuit board as shown is available from Hittite Microwave Corporation upon request.
