General Description
The HMC324MS8G is a high efficiency GaAs InGaP
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC ampli-
fier that contains two non-connected amplifiers in
parallel inside an 8 lead MSOPG package. When
used in conjunction with an external balun, the out-
puts of the amplifier can be combined to reduce
the 2nd harmonic distortion that is generated by
the amplifier. With Vcc at +7.5V, the HMC324MS8G
offers 13 dB of gain and with power combining and
harmonic cancellation, +24 dBm of output power
can be achieved. Using a Darlington feedback pair
results in reduced sensitivity to normal process vari-
ations and provides a good 50-ohm input/output
port match. This amplifier is ideal for RF systems
where high linearity is required and can operate in
50-ohm and 75-ohm systems.
