General Description
The HmC637lp5(e) is a GaAs mmiC mesfeT Distributed power Amplifier which operates between DC and 6 GHz. The amplifier provides 13 dB of gain, +40 dBm output ip3 and +29 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression while requiring 400 mA from a +12V supply. Gain flatness is excellent at ±0.75 dB from DC - 6 GHz making the HmC637lp5(e) ideal for ew, eCm, radar and test equipment applications. The HmC637lp5(e) amplifier i/os are internally matched to 50 ohms and the 5x5 mm Qfn package is compatible with high volume smT assembly equipment.

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 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.
