General Description
The HMC591LP5 & HMC591LP5E are high dynamic range GaAs PHEMT MMIC 2 Watt Power Amplifiers which operate from 6 to 9.5 GHz. The amplifier provides 18 dB of gain, +33 dBm of saturated power, and 19% PAE from a +7V 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 940 mA, to yield +41 dBm OIP3. For applications which require optimum output P1dB, Idd should be set for 1340 mA, to yield +33 dBm Output P1dB.
Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25° C, Vdd = +7V, Idd = 1340 mA[1]

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.
