[1]

The HMC992LP5E is ideal for:

• Cellular/3G Infrastructure

• WiBro / WiMAX / 4G

• Microwave Radio & VSAT

• Test Equipment and Sensors

• IF & RF Applications

Wide Gain Control Range: -10 to +38 dB

High Output IP3: +40 dBm

Positive Analog Control: 0V to +5V

Configurable with 1 or 2 Attenuators

The HMC992LP5E is an IF analog controlled variable

gain amplifier composed of two identical voltage

variable attenuators in combination with an InGaP

HBT gain block MMIC amplifier which operates from

0.1 to 0.8 GHz, and can be controlled to provide

anywhere from -10 dB attenuation, to 40 dB of gain.

The HMC992LP5E delivers noise figure of 6 dB in

its maximum gain state, with output IP3 of up to

+40 dBm. The HMC992LP5E is housed in a RoHS

compliant 5x5 mm QFN leadless package, and requ-

ires no external matching components.
