General Description
The HMC392LC4 is a GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifier which operates between 3.5 and 7.0 GHz. Housed in a leadless 4x4 mm SMT package, this amplifier provides 16 dB of gain, 2.5 dB noise figure and 30 dBm IP3 from a +5V supply voltage. HMC392LC4 functions well as a low noise front end or as a driver amplifier. The RF I/Os are DC blocked and matched to 50 Ohms for ease of use. The HMC392LC4 allows the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques and is suitable for high reliability military, industrial and space applications.

[1] Reference this number when ordering complete evlaution PCB [2] Circuit Board Material: Rogers 4350.
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.
