February 2, 2012 Press Release
--
New SPDT Switch and 5-Bit MMIC Attenuators Serve Multiple Markets!
Chelmsford, MA, February 2, 2012 - Hittite Microwave Corporation, the world class supplier of complete MMIC
based solutions for communication & military markets, has introduced a new Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) Switch
and two new Serial Controlled 5-Bit Digital Attenuator MMICs which are ideal for automotive, microwave radio, test
equipment, military and space applications up to 50 GHz.
The HMC1018LP4E and
HMC1019LP4E are serial
controlled GaAs MMIC 5-Bit Digital Attenuators which are rated from 0.1 to 30 GHz. The
HMC1018LP4E can be programmed
to provide up to 31 dB attenuation in 1.0 dB steps, while the
HMC1019LP4E provides up to
15.5 dB attenuation in 0.5 dB steps. These new products exhibit insertion loss as low as 4 dB, excellent
attenuation accuracy of ± 0.3 dB, and input IP3 up to +45 dBm. Both are housed in 4 x 4 mm QFN packages, and offer
a versatile control interface accepting positive control voltages from 0/+2V to 0/+5V. These 5-Bit Digital
Attenuators are also available with parallel control as the
HMC939LP4E
and HMC941LP4E, and in bare
die form as the HMC939
and HMC941.
Also
released is the HMC986
wideband GaAs pHEMT MMIC SPDT switch die. This miniature switch is controlled with two complementary inputs of
0/-3V to 0/-5V, and can be switched as fast as 10 ns. With an input frequency of 40 GHz, the
HMC986 exhibits 20 dB return
loss, 31 dB isolation, and only 1.9 dB insertion loss. The combination of wideband performance and fast switching
speed make this switch ideal for a wide range of test equipment, switching matrix and electronic warfare (EW)
applications.
These new products complement Hittite’s extensive line of control components, including the
widest selection of MMIC digital attenuators and switches available from any OEM.
Samples and evaluation PC
boards for all SMT packaged products are available from stock and can be ordered via the company's e-commerce site
or via direct purchase order. Released data sheets are available on-line at
www.hittite.com.
