General Description
The HMC659LC5 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Dis-
tributed Power Amplifier which is housed in a leadless
5x5 mm RoHS compliant ceramic SMT package
operating between DC and 15 GHz. The amplifier
provides 19 dB of gain, +35 dBm output IP3 and
+27.5 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression,
while requiring 300mA from a +8V supply. Gain flat-
ness is excellent at ±1.4 dB from DC - 15 GHz making
the HMC659LC5 ideal for EW, ECM, Radar and test
equipment applications. The HMC659LC5 amplifier
I/Os are internally matched to 50 ohms with no ex-
ternal components. The HMC659LC5 is compatible
with high volume surface mount manufacturing
techniques.
