Single Positive Supply: +3.3V
ESD Sensitivity (HBM): Class 1A General Description
The HMC913 is a Successive Detection Log Video
Amplifier (SDLVA) which operates from 0.6 to 20 GHz.
The HMC913 provides a logging range of 59 dB. This
device offers typical fast rise/fall times of 5/10 ns and
a superior delay time of only 14 ns. The HMC913 log
video output slope is typically 14 mV/dB. Maximum
recovery times are less than 30 ns. Ideal for high
speed channelized receiver applications, the HMC913
operates from a single +3.3 V supply, and consumes
only 80 mA. All data shown herein is measured with
the chip in a 50 Ohm environment and contacted with
RF probes. Electrical Specifications, TA = +25 °C, Vcc1 = Vcc2 = 3.3V [1]
