HMC441

LINEAR & POWER AMPLIFIERS - CHIP v09.0917 Typical Applications The HMC441 is ideal for: Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-Point Radios VSAT LO Driver for HMC Mixers Military EW & ECM HMC441 GaAs pHEMT MMIC MEDIUM POWER AMPLIFIER, 6 - 18 GHz Features Gain: 15.5 dB Saturated Power: +22 dBm @ 23% PAE Single Supply Voltage: +5V w/ Optional Gate Bias 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output Die Size: 0.94 x 0.94 x 0.1 mm Functional Diagram Vgg1, Vgg2: Optional Gate Bias General Description The HMC441 is an efficient GaAs PHEMT MMIC Medium Power Amplifier which operates between 6 and 18 GHz. The amplifier provides 15.5 dB of gain, +22 dBm of saturated power, and 23% PAE from a +5V supply voltage. An optional gate bias is provided to allow adjustment of gain, RF output power, and DC power dissipation. The HMC441 amplifier can easily be integrated into Multi-Chip-Modules (MCMs) due to its small size. The backside of the die is both RF and DC ground, simplifying the assembly process and reducing performance variation. All data is tested with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected via 0.025mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of minimal length 0.31mm (12 mils).
