HMC441LC3B v08.1017 GaAs pHEMT MMIC MEDIUM POWER AMPLIFIER, 6 - 18 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC441LC3B is ideal for use as a medium power Gain: 14 dB T amplifier for: Saturated Output Power: +21.5 dBm @ 27% PAE M • Point-to-Point Radios Single Positive Supply: +5V @ 90 mA S • Point-to-Multi-Point Radios & VSAT 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output - R • LO Driver for HMC Mixers 12 Lead Ceramic 3x3mm SMT Package: 9mm2 E • Military EW & ECM W O P Functional Diagram General Description & The HMC441LC3B is an efficient GaAs PHEMT R MMIC Medium Power Amplifier housed in a leadless A RoHS compliant SMT package. Operating between E 6 and 18 GHz, the amplifier provides 14 dB of gain, N +21.5 dBm of saturated power and 27% PAE from LI a +5V supply. This 50 Ohm matched amplifier does not require any external components and operates - S from a single positive supply, making it an ideal R linear gain block or driver for HMC SMT mixers. The E HMC441LC3B is compatible with high volume surface I mount manufacturing techniques, and the I/Os are F I DC blocked for further ease of integration.
