General Description
The HMC490LP5(E) is a high dynamic range GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier which operates between 12 and 16 GHz. The HMC490LP5(E) provides 23 dB of gain, 2.5 dB noise figure and an output IP3 of +34 dBm from a +5V supply voltage. This versatile amplifier combines excellent, stable +25 dBm P1dB output power with very low noise figure making it ideal for receive and transmit applications. The amplifier is packaged in a leadless 5x5 mm QFN surface mount package.

The circuit board used in the 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.
