General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC486LP5(E) is a high dynamic range GaAs

pHEMT MMIC 2 Watt Power Amplifier housed in a

leadless 5x5 mm surface mount packages. Operating

from 7 to 9 GHz, the amplifier provides 22 dB of gain,

+33 dBm of saturated power and 20% PAE from a

+7V supply voltage. Output IP3 is +40 dBm typical.

The RF I/Os are DC blocked and matched to

50 Ohms for ease of use. The HMC486LP5(E)

eliminate the need for wire bonding, allowing use of

surface mount manufacturing techniques.

Saturated Power: +33 dBm @ 20% PAE

Output IP3: +40 dBm

Gain: 22 dB

Supply: +7V @ 1300 mA

50 Ohm Matched Input/Output

32 Lead 5x5mm SMT Package: 25mm2

Typical Applications
