HMC538LP4 / 538LP4E v02.0209 600 ANALOG PHASE SHIFTER, 6 - 15 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC538LP4 / HMC538LP4E is ideal for: Available as Lead Free * Fiber Optics Wide Bandwidth: 6 - 15 GHz * Military >600 Phase Shift * Test Equipment Single Positive Voltage Control TE QFN Leadless SMT Package, 16 mm2 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC538LP4(E) are Analog Phase Shifters which are controlled via an analog control voltage from 0 to +5V. The HMC538LP4(E)provides a continuously variable phase shift of 0 to 800 degrees at 6 GHz, and 0 to 450 degrees at 16 GHz, with consistent insertion loss versus phase shift. The phase shift is monotonic with respect to control voltage. The control port has a modulation bandwidth of 50 MHz. The low insertion loss and compact size enable this part to be used in a wide range of applications, including the phase adjustment of clocks in fiber optic systems and test equipment. THe HMC538LP4(E) is housed in leadless QFN surface mount packages and are available in both standard and RoHS compliant versions. 10 - 2 LE B SO Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25 C, 50 Ohm System O PHASE SHIFTERS - ANALOG - SMT 10 Parameter Frequency (GHz) Min.
