Analog Devices HMC396
The HMC396 die is a GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Gain Block MMIC DC to 8 GHz amplifier. This amplifier can be used as either a cascadable 50 Ohm gain stage or to drive the LO of HMC mixers with up to +16 dBm output power. The HMC396 offers 12 dB of gain and an output IP3 of +30 dBm while requiring only 56 mA from a +5V supply.APPLICATIONS
2 An excellent cascadable 50 Ohm Gain Block or LO Driver for:● Microwave & VSAT Radios
● Test Equipment
● Military EW, ECM, C3I
● Space Telecom Functional Diagram
FEATURES
Gain: 12 dB P1dB Output Power: +14 dBm Stable Gain Over Temperature 50 Ohm I/O’s Small Size: 0.38 x 0.58 x 0.1 mmGENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Darlington feedback pair used results in reduced sensitivity to normal process variations and yields excellent gain stability over temperature while requiring a minimal number of external bias components. The HMC396 can easily be integrated into Multi-ChipModules (MCMs) due to its small (0.22mm2) size. All data is with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected via 0.025mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of minimal length 0.5mm (20 mils). 2-8ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
