General Description
The HMC405 die is a GaAs InGaP Heterojunction
Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Gain Block MMIC DC to 10
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 +17dBm output power. The
HMC405 offers 16 dB of gain and an output IP3 of +32
dBm while requiring only 50 mA from a +5V supply.
The Darlington feedback pair used results in reduced
sensitivity to normal process variations and yields ex-
cellent gain stability over temperature while requiring
a minimal number of external bias components. The
HMC405 can easily be integrated into Multi-Chip-Mod-
ules (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).
