General Description
The HMC460LC5 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Low Noise Distributed Amplifier in a leadless 5x5 mm ceramic surface mount package which operates from DC to 20 GHz. The amplifier provides 14 dB of gain, 2.5 dB noise figure and +16.5 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression while requiring only 75 mA from a Vdd = 8V supply. Gain flatness is excellent from DC to 20 GHz making the HMC460LC5 ideal for EW, ECM, Radar and test equipment applications. The wideband amplifier I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms.

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 package bottom 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.
