General Description
The HMC407MS8G & HMC407MS8GE are high efficiency GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC Power amplifiers which operate between 5 and 7 GHz. The amplifier requires no external matching to achieve operation and is thus truly 50 Ohm matched at input and output. 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 15 dB of gain, +29 dBm of saturated power at 28% PAE from a +5V supply voltage. Power down capability is available to conserve current consumption when the amplifier is not in use.

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.
