HMC936LP6E

Overview

The HMC936LP6E is a GaAs MMIC 6-bit digital phase shifter designed for operation within the 1.2 to 1.4 GHz frequency range. It provides 360 degrees of total phase coverage with a least significant bit (LSB) resolution of 5.625 degrees. The device utilizes a 28-VQFN exposed pad package and operates on control voltages between 3 V and 5 V.

Feature Summary

• GaAs MMIC construction for high-performance RF applications
• 6-bit digital control architecture enabling precise phase adjustment
• Full 360-degree phase coverage across the designated frequency band

Applications

• Phased array antenna systems
• Beamforming networks
• Wireless communication infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices distributors or direct channels. Confirm the specific suffix LP6E matches project requirements. Check current lifecycle status as documentation indicates potential obsolescence. Ensure supply chain stability for long-term production needs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when precise 6-bit phase control is required in the 1.2-1.4 GHz band. Consider the 28-VQFN package for surface mount integration. Evaluate thermal management due to the exposed pad design. Verify compatibility with standard 3V to 5V logic control interfaces.

Part Context

Part of the HMC936 series of digital phase shifters from Analog Devices. Designed for general-purpose RF applications requiring reliable phase shifting capabilities. Shares architectural similarities with other members of the HMC9xx family but offers specific bit-resolution and frequency characteristics tailored for UHF bands.

Replacement Considerations

HMC936ALP6E is a documented variant within the same series offering similar specifications.
