General Description Functional Diagram
The HMC469MS8G & HMC469MS8GE are SiGe HBT Dual Channel Gain Block MMIC SMT amplifiers covering DC to 5 GHz. These versatile products contain two gain blocks, packaged in a single 8 lead plastic MSOP, for use as either separate cascadable 50 Ohm RF/IF gain stages, LO or PA drivers or with both amplifiers combined utilizing external 90° hybrids to create a high linearity driver amplifier. Each amplifier in the HMC469MS8G(E) offers 15 dB of gain, +18 dBm P1dB with a +34 dBm output IP3 at 850 MHz while requiring only 75 mA from a single positive supply. The combined dual amplifier circuit delivers up to +20 dBm P1dB with +35 dBm OIP3 for specific application bands through 4 GHz.

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 package bottom 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.
