General Description
The HMC173MS8 is an absorptive voltage variable attenuator in an 8-lead MSOP package. The device operates with a positive supply voltage and a positive control voltage. Unique features include a high dynamic attenuation range and excellent power handling performance through all attenuation states. The HMC173MS8 is ideal for operation in wireless applications between 0.8 GHz and 1.6 GHz. 1.7 to 2.0 GHz operation is possible, with a reduced maximum attenuation of 30 dB and increased VSWR. The HMC173MS8 can be used with an external driver circuit for improved linearity of attenuation.

Attenuation Linearizing Control Circuit For The HMC173MS8 Voltage Variable Attenuator
9
ATTENUATORS - SMT
A driver circuit to improve the attenuation linearity of the HMC173MS8 can be implemented with a simple op-amp configuration. A breakpoint linearization circuit will scale the voltage supplied to the control line of the HMC173MS8, so that a more linear attenuation vs. control voltage slope can be achieved. A -5V and +5V supply is required. Diode and resistor values which define the op-amp gain, and breakpoint were selected to optimize a measured production lot of attenuators at .825 GHz. R7 may be varied to optimize the performance of any given attenuator. If the input voltage to the linearizing circuit will not drop below 1.0V, the R9 and D2 may be omitted, and this will greatly reduce the overall power consumption of the driver circuit. The linearizing circuit has been optimized for .825 GHz attenuation applicaitons. A similar approach may be used at other frequencies by adjusting R1 - R9 resistor values.

The circuit board used in the final application should use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should have 50 ohm impedance while the package ground leads should be connected directly to the ground plane similar to that shown. A sufficient number of VIA holes should be used to connect the top and bottom ground planes. The evaluation circuit board as shown is available from Hittite Microwave Corporation upon request.
