Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC311LP3(E) is a GaAs InGaP Heterojunction
Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Gain Block MMIC
SMT DC to 6 GHz amplifiers. This 3x3mm
QFN packaged amplifier can be used as either a
cascadable 50 Ohm gain stage or to drive the LO of
HMC mixers with up to +17 dBm output power. The
HMC311LP3(E) offers 14.5 dB of gain and an output
IP3 of +32 dBm while requiring only 56 mA from a
+5V supply. The Darlington feedback pair used results
in reduced sensitivity to normal process variations
and yields excellent gain stability over temperature
while requiring a minimal number of external bias
components.

The circuit board used in the final application
should use RF circuit design techniques. Signal
lines should have 50 Ohm impedance while the
package ground leads and exposed paddle should
be connected directly to the ground plane similar to
that shown. A sufficient number of via holes should
be used to connect the top and bottom ground
planes. The evaluation board should be mounted
to an appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit
board shown is available from Analog Devices
upon request.
