Functional Diagram
General Description
The HmC451lp3(e) is an efficient GaAs pHemT mmiC medium power Amplifier housed in a leadless roHs compliant smT package. operating between 5 and 18 GHz, the amplifier provides 18 dB of gain, +21 dBm of saturated power and 18% pAe from a single +5V supply. This 50 ohm matched amplifier does not require any external components and the rf i/o’s are DC blocked, making it an ideal linear gain block or lo driver for HmC mixers. The HmC451lp3(e) eliminates the need for wire bonding, and allows the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.

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.
