HMC608LC4 v04.0617 GaAs pHEMT MEDIUM POWER AMPLIFIER, 9.5 - 11.5 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC608LC4 is ideal for: Output IP3: +33 dBm T • Point-to-Point Radios Saturated Power: +27.5 dBm @ 23% PAE M • Point-to-Multi-Point Radios Gain: 29.5 dB S • Military End-Use Supply: +5V @ 310 mA - R 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output E RoHS Compliant 4x4 mm SMT Package W O Functional Diagram General Description P & The HMC608LC4 is a high dynamic range GaAs pHEMT MMIC Medium Power Amplifier housed in a R leadless “Pb free” SMT package. The amplifier has A two modes of operation: high gain mode (Vpd pin E shorted to ground); and low gain mode (Vpd pin left N open). The electrical specifications in the table below I L are shown for the amplifier operating in high gain - mode. Operating from 9.5 to 11.5 GHz, the amplifier S provides 29.5 dB of gain, +27.5 dBm of saturated R power and 23% PAE from a +5V supply voltage. E Noise figure is 6 dB while output IP3 is +33 dBm. The I F RF I/Os are DC blocked and matched to 50 Ohms I L for ease of use. The HMC608LC4 eliminates the P need for wire bonding, allowing use of surface mount M manufacturing techniques.
