HMC609LC4 v01.0807 GaAs PHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER, 2 - 4 GHz 5 LOW NOISE AMPLIFIERS - SMT Typical Applications The HMC609LC4 is ideal for: • Fixed Microwave • Test & Measurement Equipment • Radar & Sensors • Military & Space Features Excellent Gain Flatness: ±0.4 dB High Gain: 20 dB Low Noise Figure: 3.5 dB Output IP3: +36.5 dBm 50 Ohm Matched & DC Blocked RF I/Os RoHS Compliant 4x4 mm SMT package Functional Diagram General Description The HMC609LC4 is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) which operates from 2 to 4 GHz. The HMC609LC4 features extremely flat performance characteristics including 20 dB of small signal gain, 3.5 dB of noise figure and output IP3 of +36.5 dBm across the operating band. This 50 Ohm matched amplifier does not require any external matching components. The HMC609LC4 is compatible with high volume surface mount manufacturing techniques, and the RF I/Os are DC blocked for further ease of integration.

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. The evaluation board should be mounted to an appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
