HMC-C055

Overview

The HMC-C055 is a 4-bit digital phase shifter rated for an operating frequency range of 8 to 12 GHz. It provides monotonic phase coverage from 0 to 360 degrees with a least significant bit (LSB) resolution of 22.5 degrees. The component exhibits an RMS phase error of 6 degrees across all phase states and maintains insertion loss within 1 dB.

Feature Summary

• Provides full 360-degree monotonic phase coverage via 4-bit digital control
• Maintains low RMS phase error across the entire operational bandwidth
• Designed for high-frequency RF signal processing applications

Applications

• Phased array radar systems
• RF beamforming networks
• Satellite communication terminals

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package configuration and connector type against the official Analog Devices datasheet prior to ordering. Confirm that the supply chain documentation matches the exact part number designation to ensure compatibility with system requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when precise digital phase control is required in the 8-12 GHz band. Evaluate the 22.5-degree LSB resolution and low phase error metrics against system beam-steering accuracy requirements to determine suitability.

Part Context

This device belongs to the Hittite Microwave Corporation product line, now integrated into Analog Devices Inc. It serves as a specialized radio frequency integrated circuit designed for high-performance microwave applications requiring accurate phase manipulation.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official Analog Devices replacement guide for verified substitute part numbers. Do not assume functional equivalence with other phase shifters without verifying frequency range and control interface specifications.
