The HMC743LP6C E is a digitally controlled variable gain ampli er which operates from DC to 4 GHz, can be programmed to provide 63 dB of gain control in dB steps and delivers output IP3 of up to +33 dBm. The gain control interface accepts a three wire serial input word and allows independent or simultaneous control of two 6-bit digital attenuators. The HMC743LP6C E also features a user selectable power up state and a serial output for cascading other serially controlled Hittite products. The HMC743LP6C E is housed in an RoHS compliant 6x6 mm QFN leadless package, and requires minimal external components.

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 circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
