General Description
The HMC797LP5E is a GaAs MMIC pHEMT Distributed Power Amplifier which operates between DC
and 22 GHz. The amplifier provides 13.5 dB of gain,
39 dBm output IP3 and +28 dBm of output power at
1 dB gain compression while requiring 400 mA from
a +10 V supply. This versatile PA exhibits a positive
gain slope from 4 to 20 GHz making it ideal for EW,
ECM, Radar and test equipment applications. The
HMC797LP5E amplifier I/Os are internally matched
to 50 Ohms facilitating integration into mutli-chipmodules (MCMs), is packaged in a leadless QFN 5x5
mm surface mount package, and requires no external
matching components.

[1] Reference this number when ordering complete evaluation PCB
The circuit board used in the 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 Hittite upon request.
