General Description
Functional Diagram
The HMC-APH596 is a two stage GaAs HEMT
MMIC Medium Power Amplifier which operates
between 16 and 33 GHz. The HMC-APH596 provides
17 dB of gain, and an output power of +24 dBm at
1 dB compression from a +5V supply voltage. All
bond pads and the die backside are Ti/Au metallized
and the amplifier device is fully passivated for reliable
operation. The HMC-APH596 GaAs HEMT MMIC
Medium Power Amplifier is compatible with conventional die attach methods, as well as thermocompression and thermosonic wirebonding, making it ideal
for MCM and hybrid microcircuit applications. All
data Shown herein is measured with the chip in a 50
Ohm environment and contacted with RF probes.
