HMC649ALP6E

Overview

The HMC649ALP6E is a GaAs MMIC 6-bit digital phase shifter rated from 3 to 6 GHz. It provides 360 degrees of phase coverage with an LSB of 5.625 degrees. The device operates on a single 5 V supply and features a 28-VQFN (6x6) package.

Feature Summary

• GaAs MMIC technology for high performance
• 6-bit digital control interface
• Full 360-degree phase coverage capability

Applications

• Phased array antenna systems
• Beamforming networks
• Radar signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix LP6E against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm the exact package variant and pinout configuration. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts and thermal management requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when operating frequencies between 3 and 6 GHz are required. Consider the 6-bit resolution and 5.625 degree LSB for precise beam steering applications. Verify power supply constraints and interface logic levels match system design specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC649A series of digital phase shifters. It complements other models like the HMC647ALP6E and HMC648ALP6E, offering extended frequency range capabilities up to 6 GHz while maintaining similar digital control architectures within the Analog Devices portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

HMC649AG serves as an evaluation PCB assembly variant rather than a direct die replacement. Cross-reference with HMC647ALP6E or HMC648ALP6E only if frequency range adjustments align with system requirements.
