General Description
The HMC279MS8G is a +3V GaAs MMIC driver ampli-
fier covering the 2.5 - 4.2 GHz frequency range. The
device is packaged in a low cost, surface mount MSOP
plastic package with an exposed base paddle for
improved RF ground. The amplifier provides greater
than 36dB gain and +14 dBm P1dB while operating
from a single +3V supply at only 60mA. No external
components are required and the amplifier occupies
less than 0.023 sq. in. (14.6 sq. mm). All data is taken
with the amplifier assembled into a 50 ohm test fixture
with the exposed ground paddle connected to RF
ground.
