HMC1013LP4ETR

Overview

The HMC1013LP4ETR is a successive detection log video amplifier (SDLVA) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within a frequency range of 0.5 GHz to 18.5 GHz and provides a dynamic range of 67 dB. The device features a typical fast rise time of 5 ns and fall time of 15 ns, with a maximum fall time of 10 ns. It requires a supply voltage between 3.15 V and 3.45 V and draws 90 mA of operating current. The component is housed in a QFN-24 surface-mount package and functions without a shutdown mode.

Feature Summary

• Successive detection logarithmic architecture for wideband signal processing
• Ultra-fast transient response characteristics suitable for high-speed applications
• Integrated single-channel design eliminating external buffering requirements

Applications

• Electronic warfare systems requiring rapid signal analysis
• Spectrum monitoring equipment operating in microwave bands
• Radar receiver signal processing chains

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm lead-free compliance and RoHS status. Confirm that the 'TR' suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging if reel handling is required for assembly. Cross-reference the part number with the latest datasheet revision to ensure pinout compatibility with existing designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth exceeding 18 GHz is necessary alongside precise logarithmic amplitude detection. The integrated SDLVA topology simplifies circuit design by removing the need for external detector diodes or complex biasing networks. Ensure the system can accommodate the specified 90 mA supply current and thermal dissipation limits within the QFN-24 footprint.

Part Context

This device belongs to the HMC1013 series of RF amplifiers from Analog Devices. It is functionally equivalent to the HMC1013LP4E but differs in packaging format. The series is designed for high-performance radio frequency applications requiring wideband coverage and accurate signal magnitude measurement across multiple gigahertz of spectrum.

Replacement Considerations

HMC1013LP4E is the direct tray-packaged equivalent.
