HMC308

v03.1103 MICROWAVE CORPORATION HMC308 GENERAL PURPOSE 100 mW GaAs MMIC AMPLIFIER, 0.8 - 3.8 GHz Features Gain: 18 dB P1dB Output Power: +17 dBm@ +5V Single Supply: +3V or +5V No External Components Integrated DC Blocks Ultra Small Package: SOT26 8 AMPLIFIERS - SMT Typical Applications Broadband or Narrow Band Applications: • Cellular/PCS/3G • Fixed Wireless & Telematics • Cable Modem Termination Systems • WLAN, Bluetooth & RFID Functional Diagram General Description The HMC308 is a low cost MESFET MMIC amplifier that operates from a single +3 to +5V supply from 0.8 to 3.8 GHz. The surface mount SOT26 amplifier can be used as a broadband amplifier stage or used with external matching for optimized narrow band applications. With Vdd biased at +5V, the HMC308 offers 18 dB of gain and +20 dBm of saturated output power while requiring only 53 mA of current. This amplifier is ideal as a driver amplifier for transmitters or for use as a local oscillator (LO) amplifier to increase drive levels for passive mixers. The amplifier occupies 0.014 in2 (9 mm2), making it ideal for compact radio designs. Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, as a function of Vdd Vdd = +3V Parameter Min.
