HMC441LC3B

HMC441LC3B v04.1208 GaAs PHEMT MMIC MEDIUM POWER AMPLIFIER, 6 - 18 GHz Typical Applications The HMC441LC3B is ideal for use as a medium power amplifier for: • Point-to-Point Radios • Point-to-Multi-Point Radios & VSAT Features Gain: 14 dB Saturated Output Power: +21.5 dBm @ 27% PAE Single Positive Supply: +5V @ 90 mA 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output 12 Lead Ceramic 3x3mm SMT Package: 9mm2 11 • LO Driver for HMC Mixers • Military EW & ECM Functional Diagram General Description The HMC441LC3B is an efficient GaAs PHEMT MMIC Medium Power Amplifier housed in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package. Operating between 6 and 18 GHz, the amplifier provides 14 dB of gain, +21.5 dBm of saturated power and 27% PAE from a +5V supply. This 50 Ohm matched amplifier does not require any external components and operates from a single positive supply, making it an ideal linear gain block or driver for HMC SMT mixers. The HMC441LC3B is compatible with high volume surface mount manufacturing techniques, and the I/Os are DC blocked for further ease of integration.

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.
