HMC489LP5 / 489LP5E
SURFACE MOUNT PHEMT 1 WATT
POWER AMPLIFIER, 12 - 16 GHz
v01.0705
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC489LP5 & HMC489LP5E are high dynamic
range GaAs PHEMT MMIC Power Amplifiers housed in
leadless 5 x 5 mm surface mount packages. Operating
from 12 to 16 GHz, the amplifier provides 13 dB of gain,
+32 dBm of saturated power and 16% PAE from a +7.0
V supply voltage. Output IP3 is +34 dBm typical. The
RF I/Os are DC blocked and matched to 50 Ohms
for ease of use. The HMC489LP5 & HMC489LP5E
eliminate the need for wire bonding, allowing use of
surface mount manufacturing techniques.
