Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC441LC3B is an efficient GaAs PHEMT
MMIC Medium Power Amplifier housed in a leadless
RoHS compliant SMT package. Operating between
6 and 18 GHz, the amplifier provides 14 dB of gain,
+21.5 dBm of saturated power and 27% PAE from
a +5V supply. This 50 Ohm matched amplifier does
not require any external components and operates
from a single positive supply, making it an ideal
linear gain block or driver for HMC SMT mixers. The
HMC441LC3B is compatible with high volume surface
mount manufacturing techniques, and the I/Os are
DC blocked for further ease of integration.
Electrical Specifications, T_A = +25° C, Vdd = +5V
