HMC877LC3 v00.0911 BROADBAND TIME DELAY & PHASE SHIFTER SMT, 8 - 23 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC877LC3 is ideal for: Very Wide Bandwidth: 8 - 23 GHz • Synchronization of clock and data Continuous Adjustable Delay Range: 500° (1.4 UI[1]) • Transponder design Single-Ended or Differential Operation • Broadband Test & Measurement Adjustable Differential Output Voltage Swing: 500 - 950 mVp-p @ 16 GHz • RF ATE Applications Delay Control Modulation Bandwidth: 2.5 GHz Single Supply: +3.3V 16 Lead Ceramic 3x3mm SMT Package: 9mm² Broadband Time Delay & Phase Shifter 13 13 - 1 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC877LC3 is a phase shifter/time delay with 0 to 500°(1.4 UI) continuously adjustable shift/delay range. The delay control is linearly monotonic with respect to the differential control voltage (VDCP, VDCN) and the control input has a modulation bandwidth of 2.5 GHz. The device provides a differential output voltage with constant amplitude for singleended or differential input voltages above the input sensitivity level, while the output voltage swing may be adjusted using the VAC control pin. The HMC877LC3 features internal temperature compensation and bias circuitry to minimize delay variations with temperature. The device also features a delay control voltage range adjustment pin, LC. All RF input and outputs of the HMC877LC3 are internally terminated with 50 Ohms to Vcc, and may either be AC or DC coupled. Output pins can be connected directly to a 50 Ohm to Vcc terminated system, while DC blocking capacitors must be used if the terminated system input is 50 Ohms to a DC voltage other than Vcc. The HMC877LC3 is available in ROHS-compliant 3x3 mm SMT package. Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, Vcc = 3.3V, GND=ODWN = 0V Parameter Conditions Min. Typ. Max.
