Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC591 is a high dynamic range GaAs PHEMT
MMIC 2 Watt Power Amplifier which operates from
6 to 10 GHz. This amplifier die provides 23 dB of
gain and +34 dBm of saturated power, at 24% PAE
from a +7.0V supply. Output IP3 is +43 dBm typical.
The RF I/Os are DC blocked and matched to 50
Ohms for ease of integration into Multi-Chip-Modules
(MCMs). All data is taken with the chip in a 50 ohm test
fixture connected via 0.025mm (1 mil) diameter wire
bonds of length 0.31mm (12 mils). For applications
which require optimum OIP3, Idd should be set for 940
mA, to yield +43 dBm OIP3. For applications which
require optimum output P1dB, Idd should be set for
1340 mA, to yield +33 dBm Output P1dB.
Electrical Specifications, T_A = +25° C, Vdd = +7V, Idd = 1340 mA^[1]
