Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC271LP4 & HMC271LP4E are broadband 5bit positive control GaAs IC digital attenuators with serial-to-parallel drivers in low cost leadless QFN 4x4 mm SMT packages. Covering 0.7 to 3.7 GHz, the insertion loss is typically less than 2.5 dB. The attenuator bit values are 1 (LSB), 2, 4, 8, and 16 dB for a total attenuation of 31 dB. Accuracy is excellent at 0.4 dB typical with an IIP3 of up to +48 dBm. Five bit CMOS compatible serial control words are used to select each attenuation state. A single Vcc bias of +3V to +5V applied through an external 5k Ohm resistor is required.

ATTENUATORS - SMT
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 through either PIN 2 or PIN 17.

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 and exposed ground paddle should be connected directly to the ground plane similar to that shown below. 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.
