General Description
The HMC939LP4 & HMC939LP4E are broadband
5-bit GaAs IC digital attenuators in low cost leadless
surface mount packages. Covering 0.1 to 33.0 GHz,
the insertion loss is less than 5 dB typical. The attenuator bit values are 1.0 (LSB), 2, 4, 8, 16 for a total attenuation of 31 dB. Attenuation accuracy is excellent
at ±0.4 dB typical step error with an IIP3 of +43 dBm.
Five control voltage inputs, toggled between +5V and
0V, are used to select each attenuation state.
Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, With Vdd = +5V, Vss = -5V, P0 - P4 = 0/ +5V

The circuit board used in the 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
shown is available from Hittite upon request.
