HITTITE LAUNCHES NEW LIMITING AMPLIFIER PRODUCT LINE!Ideal for OC-192 & 10 Gbps Ethernet/Fiber Channel Receivers

The fi rst product within Hittite’s new Limiting Amplifi er (LIA) Product Line is now available. The HMC750LP4E Limiting Amplifi er is designed to support data transmission rates up to 12.5 Gbps, offers a 3 dB bandwidth of 11 GHz, and can operate over a wide range of input voltage levels while providing a constant-level differential output voltage swing. The amplifi er also features an output level control pin, which permits adjustments to

compensate for cable losses or to optimize signal levels. Input signals greater than 3 mV pp may be amplifi ed to the fully saturated 880 mV pp differential output signal level.

Ideal for use as a post amplifi er in OC-192 and STM-64 optical receiver applications, the HMC750LP4E features very

PROGRAMMABLE DIVIDER ADVANCES SYNTHESIZER DESIGN!Low Noise Integer-N Divider Accepts Input Frequencies to 6.5 GHz!

Hittite announces the release of an ultra low noise programmable frequency divider which supports ad-vanced signal generation architectures found in test equipment, laboratory systems, microwave radio and various military applications.

The HMC705LP4E is a low noise GaAs HBT programmable divider that can divide input frequencies

up to 6.5 GHz by any integer value from 1 to 17. The HMC705LP4E delivers high frequency operation along with a low noise fl oor, making it ideal in high performance, fast settling synthesizer architectures. The SSB phase noise for the divide-by-17 state is better than -153 dBc/Hz at offset frequencies greater than 100 kHz.

The HMC705LP4E is housed in a miniature 4x4 mm RoHS compliant QFN leadless SMT package and can be combined with many of Hittite’s standard MMIC VCO products to create state-of-the art frequency synthesizers and phase locked oscillators (PLOs).

HITTITE ADDS FIVE NEW DIGITAL VARIABLE GAIN AMPLIFIERS!DVGAs Address IF & RF Applications with up to 63 dB Gain Control Range

Hittite Launches +3.3V High Speed Logic Competitive Replacements!

Hittite has launched six new high speed logic products to complement our growing high speed logic product line. Operating with clock rates ranging from 13 GHz up to 26 GHz, these devices are pin-compatible industry replacements for a number of Inphi logic components, and are ideal for deployment in optical systems, ATE, broadband test and measurement equipment, frequency synthesis, and radar sig-nal processing systems. These logic devices are also optimized for fast rise and fall times, low jitter and low DC power requirements, with an output level control pin feature which allows for signal loss compensation or signal level optimization. Typical deterministic jitter is 2 ps, while random jitter is 0.2 ps RMS.

The HMC744LC3C, HMC745LC3C, HMC746LC3C, HMC747LC3C, HMC748LC3C and HMC749LC3C operate from a +3.3V supply, are specifi ed for operation from -40°C to +85°C and are housed in RoHS compliant 3x3 mm ceramic SMT pack-ages.

Versatile InGaP HBT MMIC VCOs Feature Multiple Outputs!

Six new InGaP HBT MMIC VCOs have been added to our extensive VCO product line. These new VCOs are ideal for test equipment, industrial, VSAT, point-to-point radio, and military applications from 8.6 to 26.8 GHz. These low noise VCOs are housed in leadless QFN 4 x 4 and 5 x 5 mm surface mount packages, and can be combined with Hittite’s HMC700LP4E PLL IC to create state-of-the-art synthesizers and phase locked oscillators (PLOs).

The HMC734LP5E, HMC735LP5E, HMC736LP4E, HMC737LP4E, HMC738LP5E, and HMC739LP5E deliver SSB phase noise as low as -105 dBc/Hz, with output power up to +18 dBm. All six VCOs operate from a single positive supply, require no external matching components, and accept a tuning voltage from 1 to 13V. These fully integrated MMIC VCOs exhibit excellent phase noise performance over temperature and shock, due to the oscillator’s monolithic structure.

Each of these MMIC VCO and are ideal to for driving the LO port of many of Hittite’s Double-Balanced Mixers, Image Reject Mixers, and I/Q Receiver products.

an industry leading 63 dB of gain control range, with 0.5 dB resolution. The HMC743LP6CE is serially controlled, delivers up to +33 dBm output IP3, and operates from a single +5V supply.

The HMC680LP4E IF/RF DVGA is rated from 30 to 400 MHz, and features differential RF I/Os, which can be used to interface directly with SAW fi lters and digital-to-analog-converters in Tx and Rx chains.

The HMC681LP5E is an IF DVGA which is rated from DC to 1 GHz, and can provide up to 45 dB of gain in 0.5 dB steps. The HMC681LP5E delivers noise fi gure of 2.8 dB in its maximum gain state, with output IP3 of up to +36 dBm in any state.

The HMC707LP5E and HMC708LP5E are 6-Bit Digital VGAs which are rated from 700 - 1200 MHz, and 1700 - 2200 MHz respectively. These low noise DVGAs deliver up to 29 dB gain and up to +38 dBm output IP3, with noise fi gure as low as 0.8 dB. Both the HMC707LP5E and HMC708LP5E feature a dual mode TTL/CMOS compatible control interface.

low RMS jitter degradation of 0.2 ps and very fast rise and fall times of 23 and 21 ps respectively. The HMC750LP4E also features 2 mV pp of input sensitivity which enables the device to

be used at the output of a transimpedance amplifi er (TIA), such as Hittite’s recently released HMC690.

The HMC750LP4E also features an integrated DC offset cancellation loop which automatically adjusts the output offset of the device to 0V. This feature is a signifi cant advantage compared with other limiting amplifi ers, since these devices must accommodate offset cancellation with two additional external DC control points. The HMC750LP4E can also be used as a general purpose amplifi er because it exhibits very fl at broadband gain characteristics from DC to 10 GHz, and provides 44 dB of differential gain.

All single-ended input signals to the HMC750LP4E are terminated with 50 Ohms to +5V on-chip, and may be either AC or DC coupled. The outputs of the amplifi er support

single-ended or differential operation, and can be connected directly to a 50 Ohm terminated system referenced to +5V, while DC blocking capacitors may be used if the terminating system is 50 Ohms to a non +5V supply.

The HMC750LP4E is specifi ed from -40°C to +85°C, operates from a single +5V supply, and is housed in a plastic RoHS compliant 4x4 mm SMT package. A released data sheet is available on-line at www.hittite.com.
