General Description
The HmC757lp4e is a three stage GaAs pHemT mmiC 1 watt power Amplifier which operates between 16 and 24 GHz. The HmC757lp4e provides 20.5 dB of gain, and 27.5 dBm of saturated output power and 21% pAe from a +5V supply. The rf i/os are DC blocked and matched to 50 ohms. The 4x4 mm plastic package eliminates the need for wirebondig, and is compatible with surface mount manufacturing techniques.

The circuit board used in the application should use rf circuit design techniques. 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.
