LE
The HMC489LP5 & HMC489LP5E are high dynamic
range GaAs PHEMT MMIC Power Amplifiers housed
in leadless 5 x 5 mm surface mount packages.
Operating from 12 to 16 GHz, the amplifier provides
13 dB of gain, +32 dBm of saturated power and
16% PAE from a +7V supply voltage. Output IP3 is
+34 dBm typical. The RF I/Os are DC blocked
and matched to 50 Ohms for ease of use. The
HMC489LP5(E)eliminate the need for wire bonding,
allowing use of surface mount manufacturing
techniques.

[2] Circuit Board Material: Rogers 4350.
The circuit board used in this 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. Copper
filled vias under the device are recommended. The
evaluation board should be mounted to an appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board shown is
available from Hittite upon request.
