GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HMC1122 is a 6-bit digital attenuator operating from
0.1 GHz to 6 GHz with a 31.5 dB attenuation control range in
0.5 dB steps.
The HMC1122 is implemented in a silicon process, offering
very fast settling time, low power consumption, and high ESD
robustness. The device features safe state transitions and
optimized for excellent step accuracy and high linearity over
frequency and temperature range. The RF input and output are
internally matched to 50 Ω and do not require any external
matching components. The design is bidirectional; therefore,
the RF input and output are interchangeable.
Rev. 0
The HMC1122 operates on a single supply ranging from 3.3 V
to 5 V with no performance change due to an on-chip regulator.
The device incorporates a driver that provides both serial and
parallel control of the attenuator. The device also features a userselectable power-up state and a serial output port for cascading
other serial controlled components.
The HMC1122 comes in a RoHS compliant, compact, 4 mm ×
4 mm LFCSP package, and is pin compatible to the HMC624A.
A fully populated evaluation board is available.

HMC1122
Data Sheet
THEORY OF OPERATION
The HMC1122 incorporates a 6-bit fixed attenuator array that
offers an attenuation range of 31.5 dB in 0.5 dB steps. An
integrated driver enables both serial and parallel mode control
of the attenuator array (see Figure 25).
Table 4. Mode Selection
P/S
Low
High
POWER SUPPLY
SERIAL MODE INTERFACE
The HMC1122 requires a single dc voltage applied to the VDD
pin. The ideal power-up sequence is as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The HMC1122 has a 3-wire serial peripheral interface (SPI):
serial data input (SERIN), clock (CLK), and latch enable (LE).
The serial control interface is activated when P/S is set to high.
Connect the GND pin to a ground reference.
Apply a supply voltage to the VDD pin.
Power up the digital control inputs. The relative order of
the digital control inputs is not important.
Apply an RF input signal to ATTIN or ATTOUT.
In serial mode, the 6-bit SERIN data is clocked MSB first on the
rising CLK edges into the shift register and then LE must be
toggled high to latch the new attenuation state into the device.
LE must be set to low to clock new 6-bit data into the shift
register because CLK is masked to prevent the attenuator value
from changing if LE is kept high. See Figure 26 in conjunction
with Table 5 and Table 6.
RF INPUT AND OUTPUT
The attenuator in the HMC1122 is bidirectional; ATTIN and
ATTOUT pins are interchangeable as the RF input and output
ports. The attenuator is internally matched to 50 Ω at both the
input and the output; therefore, no external matching components are required. RF pins are dc-coupled; therefore, dc blocking
capacitors are required on the RF lines.
The HMC1122 also features a serial data output pin, SEROUT,
that outputs serial input data delayed by six clock cycles to
control the cascaded attenuator using a single SPI bus.
In serial mode operation, the parallel control inputs must always
be kept at a valid logic level (VIH or VIL) and not be left floating. It is
recommended to connect all parallel control inputs (D0 to D5)
to ground.
SERIAL OR PARALLEL MODE SELECTION
The HMC1122 can be controlled in either serial or parallel
mode by setting the P/S pin to high or low, respectively (see
Table 4).

PARALLEL MODE INTERFACE
Min

There are two modes of parallel operation: direct parallel and
latched parallel.
Direct Parallel Mode
The LE pin must be kept high. The attenuation state is changed
by the control voltage inputs (D0 to D5) directly. This mode is
ideal for manual control of the attenuator.
Latched Parallel Mode
The LE pin must be kept low when changing the control voltage
inputs (D0 to D5) to set the attenuation state. When the desired
state is set, LE must be toggled high to transfer the 6-bit data to
the bypass switches of the attenuator array, and then toggled
low to latch the change into the device until the next desired
attenuation change (see Figure 27 in conjunction with Table 6).

P/S
The HMC1122 has six digital control inputs, D0 (LSB) to D5
(MSB), to select the desired attenuation state in parallel mode, as
shown in Table 5. The parallel control interface is activated when
P/S is set to low. In parallel mode operation, the parallel control
inputs (D0 to D5) must always be kept at a valid logic level (VIH or
VIL). It is recommended to use pull-down resistors on all parallel
control input lines if the device driving them goes to a high
impedance state during hibernation.

POWER-UP INTERFACE
The HMC1122 uses the PUP1 and PUP2 control voltage inputs
to set the attenuation value to a known value at power-up before
the initial control data word is provided in either serial or parallel
mode. When the attenuator powers up with LE = low, the state
of PUP1 and PUP2 determines the power-up state of the device
per the truth table shown in Table 7. The attenuator latches in
the desired power-up state approximately 200 ms after power-up.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
EVALUATION PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD
The schematic of the HMC1122 evaluation board is shown in
Figure 28. The HMC1122 evaluation board is constructed of a
4-layer material with a copper thickness of 0.7 mil on each layer.
Every copper layer is separated with a dielectric material. The
top dielectric material is 10 mil RO4350. The middle and bottom
dielectric materials are FR-4, used for mechanical strength and
overall board thickness of approximately 62 mil, which allows
SMA connectors to be slipped in at the board edges.
All RF and dc traces are routed on the top copper layer. The RF
transmission lines are designed using a coplanar waveguide
(CPWG) model, with a width of 18 mil, spacing of 13 mil, and
dielectric thickness of 10 mil, to have a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω. The inner and bottom layers are grounded planes
to provide a solid ground for the RF transmission lines. For
optimal electrical and thermal performance, as many vias as
possible are arranged around transmission lines and under the
package exposed pad. The evaluation board layout shown in
Figure 29 serves as a recommendation for optimal and stable
performance, as well as for improvement of thermal efficiency.
The evaluation board is grounded from the dc test point, TP1.
The dc supply must be connected to the dc test point, TP2, of
the evaluation board. Three decoupling capacitors are
populated on the supply trace to filter high frequency noise.
The RF input and output ports (ATTIN and ATTOUT) are
connected through 50 Ω transmission lines to the SMA connectors, J1 and J2, respectively. The ATTIN and ATTOUT ports are
ac-coupled with capacitors of an appropriate value to ensure
broadband performance. A thru calibration line connects J4
and J5; this transmission line is used to estimate the loss of the
PCB over the environmental conditions being evaluated.
All the digital control pins are connected through digital signal
traces to the 2 × 9-pin header, J3. On the digital signal traces,
provisions for an RC filter are made to clean any potential
coupled noise. In normal operation, series resistors are 0 Ω and
shunt capacitors are open.
The HMC1122 evaluation board also uses two dual inline
package (DIP), four-position single-pole dual-throw (SPDT)
switches for the manual control of the device in direct parallel
mode.
