Typical Applications
Electrical Specications, TA = +25 °C, Vcc1 = Vcc2 = Vcc3 = 3.3V [1]
The HMC813LC4B is a Successive Detection Log
Video Amplier (SDLVA) with a limited RF output
which operates from 1 to 20 GHz. The HMC813LC4B
provides a logging range of 55 dB. This device offers
typical fast rise/fall times of 5/10 ns. The HMC813LC4B
log video output slope is typically 15 mV/dB. Maximum
recovery times are less than 15 ns. Ideal for high speed
channelized receiver applications, the HMC813LC4B
operates from a single +3.3 V supply, and consumes
only 153 mA. The HMC813LC4B is available in a highly
compact 4x4 mm SMT ceramic package and is ideal for
high speed channelized receiver applications.

The circuit board used in the application should
use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines sho-
uld have 50 ohm impedance while the package
ground leads and exposed paddle 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.
