Overview
The HMC625BLP5E is a digitally controlled variable gain amplifier (VGA) produced by Analog Devices Inc. This device operates from DC to 5 GHz and can be programmed to provide a gain range from 13.5 dB attenuation to 18 dB of gain in 0.5 dB steps. It is designed for various high-frequency applications, including cellular infrastructure, microwave radio, VSAT, test equipment, and sensors. The amplifier features a low noise figure of 6 dB in its maximum gain state and a high output IP3 of up to +32 dBm in any state.
