Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC279MS8G is a +3V GaAs MMIC driver
amplifier 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 con-
nected to RF ground.
