General Description
The HMC457QS16G & HMC457QS16GE are high dynamic range GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) 1 watt MMIC power amplifiers operating between 1.7 and 2.2 GHz. Packaged in a miniature 16 lead QSOP plastic package, the amplifier gain is typically 27 dB from 1.7 to 2.0 GHz and 25 dB from 2.0 to 2.2 GHz. Utilizing a minimum number of external components, the amplifier output IP3 can be optimized to +45 dBm. The power control (Vpd) can be used for full power down or RF output power/ current control. The high output IP3 and PAE make the HMC457QS16G & HMC457QS16GE ideal power amplifiers for Cellular/3G base station & repeater applications.

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.
