General Description
The HMC590LP5 & HMC590LP5E are high dynamic range GaAs PHEMT MMIC 1 Watt Power Amplifiers which operate from 6 to 9.5 GHz. The amplifier provides 21 dB of gain, +31 dBm of saturated power, and 23% PAE from a +7welV supply. This 50 Ohm matched amplifier does not require any external components and the RF I/Os are DC blocked for robust operation. For applications which require optimum OIP3, Idd should be set for 520 mA, to yield +40 dBm OIP3. For applications which require optimum output P1dB, Idd should be set for 820 mA, to yield +30 dBm Out-put P1dB.

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.
