General Description
The HMC413QS16G & HMC413QS16GE are high efficiency GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC Power amplifiers which operate between 1.6 and 2.2 GHz. The amplifier is packaged in a low cost, surface mount 16 leaded package with an exposed base for improved RF and thermal performance. With a minimum of external components, the amplifier provides 23 dB of gain, +29.5 dBm of saturated power at 42% PAE from a +5V supply voltage. The amplifier can also operate with a 3.6V supply. Vpd can be used for full power down or RF output power/ current control.

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 Hittite upon request.
