General Description
The HMC613LC4B is a Successive Detection Log
Video Amplifier (SDLVA) which operates from 0.1 to
20 GHz. The HMC613LC4B provides a logging range
of 59 dB. This device offers typical fast rise/fall times
of 4/18 ns and a superior delay time of 14 ns. The
HMC613LC4B log video output slope is typically 14
mV/dB. Maximum recovery times are less than 30 ns.
The HMC613LC4B is available in a highly compact 4x4
mm SMT ceramic package and is ideal for high speed
channelized receiver applications.
