Product details
Overview
107010-HMC472ALP4 from Analog Devices is a GaAs MMIC 6-bit digital positive-control RF attenuator with 0.5 dB LSB steps, DC–3.8 GHz bandwidth, ±0.25 dB typical step error, and 24-lead 4×4 mm LFCSP package. It serves as a precision RF signal level controller in cellular infrastructure transceivers and test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the 107010-HMC472ALP4 datasheet, 107010-HMC472ALP4 pinout, 107010-HMC472ALP4 application, or 107010-HMC472ALP4 equivalent, key selection criteria include attenuation accuracy across frequency, TTL/CMOS-compatible control interface, insertion loss <2.0 dB up to 3.8 GHz, and IIP3 of +54 dBm at low attenuation states.
Technical Context
The 107010-HMC472ALP4 implements a broadband GaAs-based switched-attenuator architecture with six independent bit lines (V1–V6), each controlling discrete 0.5/1/2/4/8/16 dB attenuation elements. Its DC-coupled 50 Ω RF ports (RF1/RF2) require external blocking capacitors for sub-700 MHz operation.
AC ground pins (ACG1–ACG7) support extended low-frequency performance when populated with external capacitors; above 700 MHz, these pins may be left unconnected. Biasing uses a single +5 V supply (2.5 mA typical), with TTL/CMOS-compatible control thresholds (0–0.8 V low, 2–5 V high).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Attenuation Range | 0.5–31.5 dB in 0.5 dB LSB steps; enables precise RF gain management in closed-loop systems. |
| Frequency Range | DC to 3.8 GHz; supports GSM, WCDMA, LTE, WiMAX, and general-purpose RF/IF signal conditioning. |
| Insertion Loss | ≤2.0 dB typical (DC–3.8 GHz); minimizes signal path degradation in cascaded RF stages. |
| IIP3 | +54 dBm (REF–15.5 dB states); ensures linearity for multi-tone signals in base station front-ends. |
| Step Accuracy | ±0.25 dB typical error (0.5–3.5 dB states); critical for calibration-sensitive applications like ATE. |
| Control Interface | Six TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs (V1–V6); allows direct FPGA/microcontroller interfacing without level-shifting. |
| Supply Voltage | +5 V ±10%; simplifies power design with single-rail biasing and 2.5 mA typical current draw. |
Pinout & Package
24-lead Lead Frame Chip Scale Package (LFCSP), 4 mm × 4 mm body, 0.85 mm height, exposed thermal paddle. RoHS-compliant matte Sn finish, MSL3 rating, JEDEC MO-220-VGGD-8 compliant.

| V1–V6 (Pins 19–24) | Bit Control Inputs | Positive logic TTL/CMOS inputs selecting 0.5/1/2/4/8/16 dB bits; high = enabled. |
| RF1, RF2 (Pins 4, 15) | RF Signal Ports | DC-coupled 50 Ω matched ports; require external blocking capacitors for DC isolation below 700 MHz. |
| Vdd (Pin 2) | Power Supply | +5 V bias input; supplies all internal attenuator elements and logic; 2.5 mA typical quiescent current. |
| ACG1–ACG7 (Pins 6–13) | AC Ground Terminals | External capacitor connection points for low-frequency AC grounding; optional above 700 MHz. |
| N/C (Pins 1,3,5,12,14,16,17,18) | No-Connect | Must be connected to PCB RF ground to suppress parasitic coupling and improve return loss. |
| Exposed Paddle | Thermal & RF Ground | Electrically and thermally connects to PCB ground plane via soldered thermal vias; mandatory for RF stability and thermal dissipation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RF digital attenuator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HMC624LP4E | 7-bit resolution (0.25 dB LSB), 0.1–6.0 GHz range, higher IIP3 (+57 dBm), larger 5×5 mm LFCSP package. | Better suited for wideband test instrumentation requiring finer resolution and extended frequency coverage. | Select HMC624LP4E when sub-0.5 dB step granularity or >3.8 GHz operation is required; not pin-compatible with 107010-HMC472ALP4. |
| Qorvo QM11036 | 6-bit, 0.5 dB LSB, 0.05–3.8 GHz, +5 V supply, but uses negative control logic and requires external level shifters for TTL/CMOS. | Targeted at cost-sensitive consumer RF modules where control interface flexibility is secondary to BOM reduction. | Choose QM11036 only if negative logic control is acceptable and additional level-shifting circuitry can be accommodated. |

FAQ
What is the operating frequency range of the 107010-HMC472ALP4?
The 107010-HMC472ALP4 operates from DC to 3.8 GHz. Its broadband performance supports multiple wireless standards including GSM, WCDMA, LTE, and WiMAX. The insertion loss remains ≤2.0 dB across this full range, and return loss exceeds 20 dB at both RF ports in all attenuation states.
Does the 107010-HMC472ALP4 require external AC ground capacitors?
Yes-the 107010-HMC472ALP4 includes seven ACG pins (6–13) intended for external capacitors to ground. These are recommended for operation below 700 MHz to maintain attenuation accuracy and return loss. Above 700 MHz, the ACG pins may be left unconnected per the datasheet guidance.
What is the control logic polarity of the 107010-HMC472ALP4?
The 107010-HMC472ALP4 uses positive control logic: a high voltage (2.0–5.0 V) on any V1–V6 pin enables its corresponding attenuation bit (0.5/1/2/4/8/16 dB). Low voltage (0–0.8 V) disables the bit. All six control inputs are TTL/CMOS-compatible and require no external level shifting.
What package type does the 107010-HMC472ALP4 use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The 107010-HMC472ALP4 is housed in a 24-lead LFCSP (Lead Frame Chip Scale Package), 4 mm × 4 mm, with 0.85 mm height and an exposed thermal paddle. The HMC472ALP4 variant uses Sn/Pb lead finish (MSL3), while the RoHS-compliant HMC472ALP4E uses 100% matte Sn. The part number 107010-HMC472ALP4 corresponds to the Sn/Pb version.
What is the maximum RF input power the 107010-HMC472ALP4 can handle?
The 107010-HMC472ALP4 supports +28 dBm maximum RF input power at +85°C ambient. At room temperature, its 0.1 dB compression point is ≥30 dBm across 0.1–3.8 GHz, and its input third-order intercept point reaches +54 dBm in low-attenuation states (REF–15.5 dB), ensuring robust linearity in high-power front ends.
