CMD297P34

Overview

The CMD297P34 is an analog phase shifter manufactured by Qorvo, designed for high-frequency applications. It operates within a frequency range of 5 to 18 GHz and provides a phase shift value of 220 degrees. The component is housed in a leadless 3x4 mm plastic surface mount package, specifically a QFN-20 form factor, suitable for SMD/SMT installation. Constructed using Silicon (Si) technology, it belongs to the CMD297 series and falls under the category of Phase Detectors/Shifters within Wireless & RF Integrated Circuits.

Feature Summary

• Provides continuous analog phase shifting capability across a wide microwave frequency band
• Utilizes a compact leadless plastic surface mount package for efficient board space utilization
• Engineered with silicon technology for robust RF signal processing

Applications

• Phased array antenna systems requiring precise beam steering
• Wireless communication infrastructure operating in C-band and Ku-band frequencies
• Test and measurement equipment needing variable phase control

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix P34 to ensure correct packaging configuration, as variations may exist between cut tape, reel, or MouseReel formats. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation prior to integration. Check current production cycles and availability, as long lead times are reported for this component. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprint designs matching the 3x4 mm QFN-20 outline.

Selection Notes

Select the CMD297P34 when a fixed 220-degree phase shift is required over the 5-18 GHz spectrum. Consider the silicon technology base for cost-sensitive applications compared to GaAs alternatives. Evaluate the QFN-20 package constraints against thermal management requirements. Compare performance metrics against other members of the CMD297 family if different phase values or frequency ranges are needed.
