HMC936LP6E
GaAs MMIC 6-BIT DIGITAL
PHASE SHIFTER, 1.2 - 1.4 GHz
v01.0611
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC936LP6E is a 6-bit digital phase shifter
which is rated from 1.2 to 1.4 GHz, providing 360
degrees of phase coverage, with a LSB of 5.625
degrees. The HMC936LP6E features very low
RMS phase error of 1.2 degrees and extremely low
inser-tion loss variation of ±0.5 dB across all phase
states. This high accuracy phase shifter is controlled
with positive control logic of 0/+5V and requires no
negative supply voltage. The HMC936LP6E is housed
in a compact 6x6 mm plastic leadless SMT package
and is internally matched to 50 Ohms with no external
components.
Low RMS Phase Error: 1.2°
Low Insertion Loss: 5 dB

Evaluation PCB
The circuit board used in the application should use
RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should
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 board should be mounted to an
appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board
shown is available from Hittite upon request.
