General Description
The HMC464 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Distributed
Power Amplifier die which operates between 2 and
20 GHz. The amplifier provides 16 dB of gain, +30 dBm
Output IP3 and +26 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain
compression while requiring 290 mA from a +8V sup-
ply. Gain flatness is excellent from 2 - 18 GHz making
the HMC464 ideal for EW, ECM and radar driver
amplifier applications. The HMC464 amplifier I/O’s
are internally matched to 50 Ohms facilitating easy
integration into Multi-Chip-Modules (MCMs). All data
is with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected
via 0.025mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of minimal
length 0.31mm (12 mils).
