The HMC210MS8 is a miniature absorptive voltage variable attenuator from Hittite Microwave Corporation. It operates with a positive supply voltage (+2.5V), and a positive control voltage. It features a high third order intercept point for all attenuation states and is ideal for base station infrastructure, portable wireless and MMDS applications.
The HMC210MS8 is a GaAs MMIC voltage-variable attenuator designed for applications such as base station infrastructure and portable wireless systems. It features single positive voltage control (0 to +2.5V) and offers high attenuation ranges, with over 50 dB at 1.9 GHz in the full range mode.
The device operates with a positive supply voltage of up to +2.5 V and includes a unique feature of high third-order intercept point for all attenuation states. It is housed in an ultra-small 8-lead MSOP package, making it suitable for space-constrained designs.
| Frequency Range | 1.5 - 2.3 GHz |
|---|---|
| Control Voltage Range | 0 to +2.5 V |
| Attenuation Range (1.8 - 2.0 GHz) | 44 dB Min, 55 dB Typ |
| Input IP3 (Min Attenuation) | +30 dBm to +35 dBm |
| Package Type | 8-lead MSOP |
The device can operate up to 2.3 GHz, though this may result in a reduced attenuation range of 31 dB.
The device requires a single positive voltage control ranging from 0 to +2.5V.
