400° ANALOG PHASE SHIFTER
1 - 2 GHz
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC934LP5E is an Analog Phase Shifter which
is controlled via an analog control voltage from 0 to
+13V. The HMC934LP5E provides a continuously
variable phase shift of 0 to 400 degrees from 1 to 2
GHz, with extremely consistent low insertion loss
versus phase shift and frequency. The high accuracy
HMC934LP5E is monotonic with respect to control
voltage and features a typical low phase error of
+3.5 / -2 degrees. The HMC934LP5E is housed in an
RoHS compliant 5 x 5 mm QFN leadless package.

15 - 17, 20 - 32 N/C No connection required. These pins may be connected to RF/DC
ground without affecting performance.
7, 18 GND
Ground: Backside of package has exposed metal ground paddle
that must be connected to ground thru a short path. Vias under
the device are required.
6RFIN This pin is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms.
19 RFOUT This pin is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms.
14 Vctl
Phase shift control pin. Application of a voltage between 0 and
13 volts causes the transmission phase to change. The DC
equivalent circuit is a series connected diode and resistor.

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 con-
nected 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.
