HMC932LP4E

Overview

The HMC932LP4E is an analog phase shifter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc., designed for RF and microwave applications. It operates within a frequency range of 12 GHz to 18 GHz. The device features a 24-VFQFN (4x4) surface-mount package with exposed pad. It utilizes an analog control voltage ranging from 0 VDC to +13 VDC for continuous variable phase adjustment. The component supports operation across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides continuously variable phase shifting via analog control voltage
• Operates as a broadband time delay chip for general-purpose RF applications
• Integrated into a compact 24-pin QFN surface-mount package

Applications

• RF signal chain phase alignment
• Microwave communication systems
• Beamforming network implementations

Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status through official Analog Devices channels or authorized distributors, as supply conditions may vary. Confirm RoHS compliance and lead times directly with the manufacturer or certified suppliers before procurement planning. Ensure the specific package variant matches design requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a broadband analog phase shifter is required for frequencies between 12 GHz and 18 GHz. Consider the 0-13V control voltage range and the 24-QFN package constraints during PCB layout. Evaluate thermal management needs given the operating temperature limits and power dissipation characteristics inherent to GaAs technology.

Part Context

The HMC932 series represents Analog Devices' portfolio of high-performance RF integrated circuits. This specific model functions as a versatile time-delay element within the broader family of microwave components. It complements other active and passive devices in signal processing chains requiring precise phase control without digital interface complexity.

Replacement Considerations

Public records indicate the HMC932LP4ETR is an alternative packaging variant of the same functional device. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance equivalence when substituting between tape-and-reel and cut-tape formats.
