HMC517LC4

HMC517LC4 v00.1204 SMT PHEMT LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER, 17 - 26 GHz 5 AMPLIFIERS - SMT Typical Applications The HMC517LC4 is ideal for use as a LNA or driver amplifier for: • Point-to-Point Radios • Point-to-Multi-Point Radios & VSAT • Test Equipment and Sensors Features Noise Figure: 2.5 dB Gain: 19 dB OIP3: +23 dBm Single Supply: +3V @ 67 mA 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output • Military RoHS Compliant 4 x 4 mm Package Functional Diagram General Description The HMC517LC4 chip is a high dynamic range GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) housed in a leadless “Pb free” RoHS compliant SMT package. The HMC517LC4 provides 19 dB of small signal gain, 2.5 dB of noise figure and has an output IP3 of +23 dBm. The P1dB output power of +13 dBm enables the LNA to also function as a LO driver for balanced, I/Q or image reject mixers. The HMC517LC4 allows the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
