General Description
The HMC996LP4E is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC analog
variable gain amplifier and / or driver amplifier which
operates between 5 and 12 GHz. Ideal for microwave
radio applications, the amplifier provides up to 18.5
dB of gain, output P1dB of up to +23 dBm, and up
to +34 dBm of output IP3 at maximum gain, while
requiring only 170 mA from a +5V supply. Gain
control voltage pin (Vctrl) is provided to allow variable
gain control up to 22 dB. Gain flatness is excellent
making the HMC996LP4E ideal for EW, ECM and
radar applications. The HMC996LP4E is housed in
a RoHS compliant 4 x 4 mm QFN leadless package
and is compatible with high volume surface mount
manufacturing.
