Functional Diagram
General Description
The Hmc788lp2e is a GaAs pHemT Gain Block mmic smT Dc to 10 GHz amplifier. This 2x2 mm Dfn packaged amplifier can be used as either a cascadable 50 ohm gain stage or to drive the lo port of many of Hittite’s single and double-balanced mixers with up to +20 dBm output power. The Hmc788lp2e offers 14 dB of gain and an output ip3 of +30 dBm while requiring only 76 mA from a +5v supply. The Darlington feedback pair exhibits reduced sensitivity to normal process variations and yields excellent gain stability over temperature while requiring a minimal number of external bias components.

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.
