HMC247

Overview

The HMC247 is an analog phase shifter die manufactured by Analog Devices Inc., designed for operation within the 5 GHz to 18 GHz frequency range. It utilizes a single positive control voltage ranging from 0 V to +10 V to adjust phase shift continuously. The device provides up to 300 degrees of phase shift at 9 GHz and up to 100 degrees at 18 GHz, achieving a total continuous range exceeding 400 degrees. Key electrical characteristics include a control port modulation bandwidth of 50 MHz and consistent insertion loss across the band. The component is fabricated using Silicon (Si) technology and is supplied as a bare die with dimensions of 2.3 mm x 1.6 mm x 0.1 mm.

Feature Summary

• Provides continuously variable phase shift controlled by a single 0 to +10V analog voltage
• Operates over a wide frequency bandwidth from 5 GHz to 18 GHz
• Features low insertion loss and compact bare die form factor

Applications

• Optical fiber communication systems
• Military radar and communication equipment
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status directly with Analog Devices or authorized distributors, as supply may be limited or subject to factory special orders. Confirm that the required package type matches the bare die specification, as surface-mount variants are not standard. Ensure handling procedures account for the fragile silicon die format during assembly and wire bonding processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband analog phase shifting solution is required between 5 GHz and 18 GHz. The HMC247 is suitable for designs needing monotonic phase shift relative to control voltage and high modulation bandwidth. Consider the bare die packaging requirements and wire bonding constraints when integrating into the final system architecture.

Part Context

The HMC247 belongs to Analog Devices' portfolio of microwave and RF phase shifters. It is categorized as an analog phase detector/phase shifter component. The device is part of a series of integrated circuits designed for high-frequency signal processing applications requiring precise phase control without digital quantization steps.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Consult Analog Devices technical support for potential cross-reference options if the HMC247 is discontinued or unavailable.
