General Description
The HMC461LP3 & HMC461LP3E are 1.7 - 2.2 GHz high output IP3 GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) dual-channel MMIC amplifiers. The linear performance of two HMC455LP3 high IP3 drivers is offered in this single IC which can be configured in a balanced or push-pull amplifier circuit. The amplifier provides 12 dB of gain and +30.5 dBm of saturated power at 48% PAE from a single +5 Vdc supply while utilizing external baluns in a balanced configuration. The high output IP3 of +45 dBm coupled with the low VSWR of 1.2:1 make the HMC461LP3 & HMC461LP3E ideal driver amplifiers for PCS/3G wireless infrastructures. A low cost, leadless 3x3 mm QFN surface mount package (LP3) houses the dual MMIC amplifier IC. The LP3 provides an exposed base for excellent RF and thermal performance.

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.
