Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC326MS8G & HMC326MS8GE are high efficiency GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC driver
amplifiers which operate between 3.0 and 4.5 GHz. The amplifier is packaged in a low cost, surface mount 8 leaded package with an exposed base for improved RF and thermal performance. The amplifier provides 21 dB of gain and +26 dBm of saturated power from a +5V supply
voltage. Power down capability is available to conserve current consumption when the amplifier is not in use. Internal circuit matching was optimized to provide greater than 40% PAE.
