General Description
The HMC486LP5(E) is a high dynamic range GaAs pHEMT MMIC 2 Watt Power Amplifier housed in a leadless 5x5 mm surface mount packages. Operating from 7 to 9 GHz, the amplifier provides 22 dB of gain, +33 dBm of saturated power and 20% PAE from a +7V supply voltage. Output IP3 is +40 dBm typical. The RF I/Os are DC blocked and matched to 50 Ohms for ease of use. The HMC486LP5(E) eliminate the need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.

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. Copper filled vias under the device are recommended. The evaluation board should be mounted to an appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
