Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC326MS8G is a high efficiency GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC driver amplifier which operates between 3.0 and 4.5 GHz. The amplifier is packaged in a low cost, surface mount 8 leaded package with an exposed base for improved RF and thermal performance. The amplifier provides 21 dB of gain and +26 dBm of saturated power from a +5.0V supply voltage. Power down capability is available to conserve current consumption when the amplifier is not in use. Internal circuit matching was optimized to provide greater than 40% PAE.

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 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.
