GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HMC606LC5 is a gallium arsenide (GaAs), indium gallium
phosphide (InGaP), heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT),
monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) distributed
amplifier housed in a 32-terminal, ceramic, leadless chip carrier
(LCC) package that operates from 2 GHz to 18 GHz. With an
input signal of 12 GHz, the amplifier provides ultralow phase noise
performance of −160 dBc/Hz at a 10 kHz offset, representing a
significant improvement over field effect transistor (FET)based distributed amplifiers.
Rev. J
The HMC606LC5 provides 13.5 dB of small signal gain, 27 dBm
output IP3, and 15 dBm of output power for 1 dB compression
while requiring 64 mA from a 5.0 V supply. The input and output
of the HMC606LC5 amplifier are internally matched to 50 Ω
and are internally dc blocked.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
EVALUATION PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB)
14968-018
The circuit board used in the application must use RF circuit
design techniques. Signal lines must have 50 Ω impedance, and
the package ground leads and package bottom must be connected
directly to the ground plane similar to that shown in Figure 17.
Use a sufficient number of via holes to connect the top and bottom
ground planes. Mount the evaluation PCB to an appropriate
heat sink. The evaluation PCB shown in Figure 17 is available
from Analog Devices, Inc., upon request.
