HMC877LC3TR

Overview

The HMC877LC3TR is a broadband analog time delay element manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It provides a fixed phase shift of 540 degrees across an operating frequency range of 8 GHz to 23 GHz. The component utilizes a surface-mount technology (SMT) package, specifically identified as SMT-16 or 16-CSMT (3x3 mm). It operates within a supply voltage range of 3.135 V to 3.465 V and functions reliably at temperatures between -40 °C and +85 °C. The propagation delay is specified at 140 ps. This device is categorized under delay lines and timing elements.

Feature Summary

Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status carefully, as this component is listed with an obsolete lifecycle status. Confirm that the specific suffix 'TR' matches the required tape-and-reel packaging configuration for your assembly line. Ensure compatibility with the specified 3.135 V to 3.465 V power supply requirements during design validation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise, frequency-independent 540-degree phase shift is required over a wide bandwidth from 8 GHz to 23 GHz. Consider the 140 ps propagation delay characteristic for timing alignment in high-speed RF paths. Evaluate the SMT-16 footprint constraints against your PCB layout limitations before finalizing the design.
