General Description
The HmC755lp4e is a high gain, high linearity GaAs inGap HBT mmiC power amplifier covering 2.3 to 2.8 GHz. The amplifier provides 31 dB of gain and +33 dBm of saturated power from a single +5V supply. The power control pins (Ven1, 2, 3) can be used to reduce the rf output power/quiescent current, or for full power down of the pA. The integrated output power detector (VDeT) is internally coupled and requires no external components. for +25 dBm ofDm output power (64 QAm, 54 mbps), the HmC755lp4e achieves an error vector magnitude (eVm) of only 2.5% making it ideal for wimAX/lTe/4G Applications. The amplifier is packaged in a compact Qfn smT package and requires a minimum of external matching components.
