HMC996LP4E

HMC996LP4E v00.0511 Variable Gain amplifier 5 to 12 GHz 0 Variable Gain amplifier - SmT Typical applications The HmC996lp4e is ideal for: • Point-to-Point Radio • Point-to-Multi-Point Radio • EW & ECM Subsystems • X-Band Radar • Test Equipment & Sensors features Wide Gain Control range: 22 db Single Control Voltage: -1 to -4.5V Output ip3 @ max Gain: +34 dbm Output p1db: +22 dbm low noise figure 2db @ max gain no external matching 24 lead 4x4 mm SmT package: 16 mm2 functional Diagram General Description The HmC996lp4e is a Gaas pHemT mmiC analog variable gain amplifier and / or driver amplifier which operates between 5 and 12 GHz. ideal for microwave radio applications, the amplifier provides up to 18.5 db of gain, output p1db of up to +23 dbm, and up to +34 dbm of output ip3 at maximum gain, while requiring only 170 ma from a +5V supply. Gain control voltage pin (Vctrl) is provided to allow variable gain control up to 22 db. Gain flatness is excellent making the HmC996lp4e ideal for eW, eCm and radar applications. The HmC996lp4e is housed in a roHS compliant 4 x 4 mm Qfn leadless package and is compatible with high volume surface mount manufacturing. electrical Specifications, Ta = +25°C, Vdd1, 2= 5V, Vctrl= -4.5V, idd= 120 ma* parameter frequency range Gain Gain flatness Gain Variation Over Temperature Gain Control range noise figure input return loss Output return loss Output power for 1 db Compression (p1db) Saturated Output power (psat) Output Third Order intercept (ip3) Total Supply Current (idd) 19 15 16 min.
