HMC892ALP5E

Overview

The HMC892ALP5E is a tunable band-pass filter with a center frequency range of 3.45 GHz to 6.25 GHz, controlled by an analog voltage between 0 V and 14 V. It features a 3 dB bandwidth of approximately 8.7% and a 20 dB bandwidth of 23.8%. The device provides excellent wideband rejection (≥30 dB) and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical parameters include an insertion loss of 9.5 dB, return loss of 9.6 dB, input IP3 of 32 dBm at 20 dBm per tone, and amplitude settling time of 200 ns. It is housed in a 32-lead, 5 mm × 5 mm LFCSP package.

Feature Summary

• Monolithic single-chip design replacing mechanically tuned filters
• User-selectable pass-band frequency via analog tuning voltage
• Excellent microphonics resistance due to solid-state construction
• Dynamically adjustable solution for advanced communications

Applications

• Test and measurement equipment
• Military radar and electronic warfare/electronic countermeasures
• Satellite communications and space applications
• Industrial and medical equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix when purchasing. The standard part number is HMC892ALP5E, while HMC892ALP5ETR indicates reel packaging. Confirm that the required quantity matches the factory pack size or cut tape availability. Ensure the procurement channel sources directly from Analog Devices or authorized distributors to guarantee component authenticity and traceability.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a compact alternative to switched filter banks or cavity-tuned filters. Ensure the system can provide stable analog control voltages between 0 V and 14 V for both VFCTL and VBWCTL pins. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified -40°C to +85°C temperature range and that RF traces are designed for 50 Ω impedance matching.

Part Context

This component belongs to the HMC89x series of tunable band-pass filters from Analog Devices. It shares functional similarities with models like the HMC890 and HMC891 but offers a distinct center frequency range optimized for higher microwave bands. The device integrates filtering capabilities into a small surface-mount package, reducing board space compared to discrete LC solutions.

Replacement Considerations

HMC892ALP5ETR serves as the reel-packaged equivalent of the HMC892ALP5E. For evaluation purposes, the EV1HMC892ALP5 PCB is available. No direct cross-model replacements are confirmed in the documentation; verify pin compatibility and frequency ranges if considering other HMC89x variants.
