Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC480ST89 & HMC480ST89E are InGaP HBT Gain Block MMIC SMT amplifiers covering DC to 5 GHz and packaged in an industry standard SOT89. The amplifier can be used as a cascadable 50 Ohm RF/IF gain stage as well as a LO or PA driver with up to +20 dBm P1dB output power for cellular/3G, FWA, CATV, microwave radio and test equipment applications. The HMC480ST89(E) offers 19 dB of gain with a +34 dBm output IP3 at 1 GHz while requiring only 82 mA from a single positive supply. The HMC480ST89(E) InGaP gain blocks offer excellent output IP3 and flat +19 to +20dBm output power performance through 5 GHz compared to equivalent SiGe based products.

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.
