HMC490LP5 / 490LP5E

v04.0213

GaAs pHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE

HIGH IP3 AMPLIFIER, 12 - 16 GHz

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC490LP5(E) is a high dynamic range GaAs

pHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier which operates

between 12 and 16 GHz. The HMC490LP5(E) provides

23 dB of gain, 2.5 dB noise figure and an output IP3

of +34 dBm from a +5V supply voltage. This versatile

amplifier combines excellent, stable +25 dBm P1dB

output power with very low noise figure making it ideal

for receive and transmit applications. The amplifier is

packaged in a leadless 5x5 mm QFN surface mount

package.
