HMC308 308E / v05.1107 GENERAL PURPOSE 100 mW GaAs MMIC AMPLIFIER, 0.8 - 3.8 GHz Typical Applications Features 9 Broadband or Narrow Band Applications: Gain: 18 dB • Cellular/PCS/3G P1dB Output Power: +17 dBm@ +5V • Fixed Wireless & Telematics Single Supply: +3V or +5V T E • Cable Modem Termination Systems No External Components M S • WLAN, Bluetooth & RFID Integrated DC Blocks - Ultra Small Package: SOTT26 S R E Functional Diagram General DeEscription I F I The HMC308 & HMC308E are low cost MESFET L P MMIC amplifi ers that operate from a single +3 to L M +5V supply from 0.8 to 3.8 GHz. The surface mount A SOT26 amplifi er can be used as a broadband ampli- fi er stage or used with external matching for opti- K O mized narrow band applications. With Vdd biased at C +5V, the HMC308 & HMC308E offers 18 dB of gain O and +20 dBm of saturated output power while requir- L B ing only 53 mA of current. This amplifi er is ideal as S a driver amplifi er for transmitters or for use as a N local oscillator (LO) amplifi er to increase drive levels I A for passive mixers. The amplifi er occupies 0.014 in2 G B (9 mm2), making it ideal for compact radio designs. & R E O V RI Electrical Specifi cations, T = +25° C, as a function of Vdd A D Vdd = +3V Vdd = +5V Vdd = +5V Vdd = +5V Parameter Units Min.
