Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC490 is a high dynamic range GaAs
PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier which operates
between 12 and 17 GHz. The HMC490 provides
27 dB of gain, 2 dB noise figure and an output IP3
of 35 dBm from a +5V supply voltage. The amplifier
chip can easily be integrated into Multi-Chip-Modules
(MCMs) due to its small size. All data is tested 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).
Electrical Specifications, T_A = +25° C, Vdd = 5V, Idd = 200 mA*
