HMC943APM5E
Figure 1.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HMC943APM5E is a four stage, gallium arsenide (GaAs),
pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT),
monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), >1.5 W
power amplifier that operates between 24 GHz to 34 GHz. The
HMC943APM5E provides 23 dB of gain, 34 dBm of saturated
output power (PSAT), and 23% power added efficiency (PAE)
from a 5.5 V supply. The high output third-order intercept (IP3)
Rev. B
of 39 dBm makes the HMC943APM5E ideal for microwave
radio applications. A power detector output is also available.
The HMC943APM5E amplifier input/outputs (I/Os) are
internally matched to 50 Ω. The device is packaged in a leadless,
5 mm × 5 mm, surface-mount LFCSP_CAV package, and
requires no external matching components.

Thermal performance is directly linked to printed circuit board
(PCB) design and operating environment. Careful attention to
PCB thermal design is required.
θJC is the junction to case thermal resistance.

Thermal resistance (θJC) is determined by simulation under the following
conditions: the heat transfer is due solely to thermal conduction from the
channel, through the ground pad, to the PCB, and the ground pad is held
constant at the operating temperature of 85°C.
ESD CAUTION
When referring to a single function of a multifunction pin in the parameters,
only the portion of the pin name that is relevant to the Absolute Maximum
Rating is listed. For full pin names of multifunction pins, refer to the Pin
Configuration and Function Descriptions section.

Stresses at or above those listed under Absolute Maximum
Ratings may cause permanent damage to the product. This is a
stress rating only; functional operation of the product at these
or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Operation beyond
the maximum operating conditions for extended periods may
affect product reliability.

Not Internally Connected. These pins are not connected internally. However, all data is measured with
these pins connected to RF and dc ground externally.
RF Input. This pin is dc-coupled and matched to 50 Ω. See Figure 4 for the RFIN interface schematic.
Gate Control for the Amplifier. Adjust VGx to achieve the recommended bias current. External bypass
capacitors of 100 pF, 10 nF, and 4.7 μF are required. See Figure 7 for the VGx interface schematic. VG1 and
VG2 are internally connected. Therefore, external bias can be applied to either VG1 or VG2.
Drain Bias for the Amplifier. External bypass capacitors of 100 pF, 0.01 µF, and 4.7 µF are required on each
pin. See Figure 5 for the VDx interface schematic.

Reference Diode Used for Temperature Compensation of VDET RF Output Power Measurements. Used in
combination with VDET, this voltage provides temperature compensation to VDET RF output power
measurements. See Figure 8 for the VREF interface schematic.
Detector Diode Used for Measurement of the RF Output Power. Detection via this pin requires the
application of a dc bias voltage through the external series resistor. Used in combination with VREF, the
difference voltage, VREF − VDET, is a temperature compensated dc voltage proportional to the RF output
power. See Figure 9 for the VDET interface schematic.
RF Signal Output. This pad is dc-coupled and matched to 50 Ω over the operating frequency range. See
Figure 6 for the RFOUT interface schematic.
Exposed Pad. The exposed pad must be connected to RF and dc ground.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Device drain connections for all stages are available at the package
leads. Gate voltage bias can be applied to either VG1 or VG2
because the bias is internally connected to the gates of devices
for all stages.
The HMC943APM5E is a GaAs, pHEMT, MMIC, >1.5 W power
amplifier consisting of four cascaded gain stages. A simplified
schematic is shown in Figure 48. The input signal is evenly divided
and amplified through four gain stages. These amplified signals
are then recombined at the output. Both inputs and outputs are
internally matched to 50 Ω for ease of use.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The HMC943A is a GaAs, pHEMT, MMIC power amplifier.
Capacitive bypassing is required for VDx as well as for VGx (see
Figure 51). Drain bias voltage must be applied to all VDx pins,
and gate bias voltage must be applied to VGx. Though the RFIN
and RFOUT ports ac couple the signal, dc paths to GND are provided
to increase the ESD robustness of the device. External dc blocking
of both RFIN and RFOUT is desirable when appreciable levels of dc
are expected to be present.
The bias conditions previously listed (VDx = 5.5 V, IDDQ = 1300 mA)
are the recommended operating points to achieve optimum
performance. The data used in this data sheet is taken with the
recommended bias conditions. When using the HMC943APM5E
with different bias conditions, different performance conclusions
may result other than from what is shown in the Typical
Performance Characteristics section.
The VDET and VREF pins are the output pins for the internal power
detector. The VDET pin is the dc voltage output pin that represents
the RF output power rectified by the internal diode and capacitor,
which is biased through an external resistor. The VREF pin is the dc
voltage output pin that represents the reference diode voltage,
which is biased through an external resistor. This voltage is then
used to compensate for the temperature variation effects on both
diodes. A typical circuit is shown in the Evaluation Board
Schematic section that reads out the output voltage and
represents the RF output power as shown in Figure 51.
All measurements for this device are taken using the evaluation
board schematic shown in Figure 51, configured as shown in the
evaluation PCB in Figure 50.
The recommended bias sequence during power-up is as follows:
5.
Connect the power supply ground to circuit ground (GND).
Set VG1 or VG2 to −2 V.
Set VDx to 5.5 V.
Slowly increase VG1 or VG2 from −2 V until typical
IDDQ = 1300 mA is reached.
Apply the RF signal.
POWER DETECTION
This device has internal output power detection, shown in
Figure 49. Power detection is achieved through referencing
VREF – VDET to the corresponding output power. The sensing
circuit is composed of two diode connected circuit paths, VREF
and VDET. VDET changes when the RF output signal couples to
the VDET path. The coupled RF signal is then rectified by the
detector diode and smoothed out by the shunt capacitor. Because
the forward bias voltage for the detector diode is temperature
dependent, VREF is used as reference to compensate for temperature
in calculation.
The recommended bias sequence during power-down is as
follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Turn the RF signal off.
Decrease VG1 or VG2 back to −2 V.
Decrease VDx to 0 V.
Decrease VG1 or VG2 to 0 V.

EVALUATION BOARD
The HMC943APM5E evaluation board is a 2-layer board
fabricated using Rogers 4350 material and best practices for
high frequency RF design. The RF input and RF output traces
have a 50 Ω characteristic impedance. The circuit board is
attached to a heat sink using SN96 solder and provides a low
thermal resistance path. Components are mounted using SN63
solder, allowing rework of the surface-mount components
without compromising the circuit board to heat sink attachment.
The evaluation board schematic is shown in Figure 51. A fully
populated and tested evaluation board (see Figure 50) is available
from Analog Devices, Inc., upon request.

The evaluation board and populated components are designed
to operate over the ambient temperature range of −40°C to
+85°C. During operation, to control the temperature of the
HMC943APM5E, attach the evaluation board to a temperature
controlled plate. For proper bias sequence, see the Applications
Information section.
