HMC933LP4E

Overview

The HMC933LP4E is an analog phase shifter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc., designed for RF applications operating within the 18 GHz to 24 GHz frequency range. It provides a continuously variable phase shift capability of up to 470 degrees, controlled via an analog voltage input ranging from 0 VDC to +13 VDC. The device features an insertion loss of 4.5 dB and is housed in a compact 24-VFQFN exposed pad package with dimensions of 4 mm x 4 mm. It supports surface mount installation and operates reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides continuous analog phase control over a wide range without digital quantization steps
• Operates effectively in high-frequency microwave bands up to 24 GHz
• Utilizes a low-profile surface-mount package suitable for dense PCB layouts

Applications

• Phased array antenna systems requiring precise beam steering
• Microwave communication links needing dynamic signal path adjustment
• Test and measurement equipment utilizing vector signal analysis

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices channels due to limited supply status. Confirm RoHS compliance details prior to integration. Ensure thermal management meets specifications for the QFN-24 package during operation. Validate control voltage stability to maintain phase accuracy.

Selection Notes

Select this component when analog phase resolution is required rather than discrete digital steps. Suitable for designs needing wideband coverage between 18 and 24 GHz. Consider the 4.5 dB insertion loss impact on system gain budget. Verify compatibility with 0-13V control interfaces in the host circuit design.

Part Context

Part of the Hittite (Analog Devices) RF integrated circuit portfolio focusing on microwave phase shifting solutions. Designed for general-purpose RF applications requiring high-frequency performance. Competes with other GaAs or SiGe phase shifters in similar frequency ranges.
