Functional Diagram
General Description
The HmC715lp3(e) is a GaAs pHemT mmiC low Noise Amplifier that is ideal for Cellular/3G and lTe/wimAX/4G basestation front-end receivers operating between 2.1 and 2.9 GHz. The amplifier has been optimized to provide 0.9 dB noise figure, 19 dB gain and +33 dBm output ip3 from a single supply of +5V. input and output return losses are excellent and the lNA requires minimal external matching and bias decoupling components. The HmC715lp3(e) can be biased with +3V to +5V and features an externally adjustable supply current which allows the designer to tailor the linearity performance of the lNA for each application.

The circuit board used in this 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.
