General Description
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. 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-Chip-Modules (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).
