HMC591LP5 / 591LP5E

v02.0107

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC591LP5 & HMC591LP5E are high dynamic

range GaAs PHEMT MMIC 2 Watt Power Amplifiers

which operate from 6 to 9.5 GHz. The amplifier

provides 18 dB of gain, +33 dBm of saturated power,

and 19% PAE from a +7V supply. This 50 Ohm mat-

ched

amplifier

does

not

require

any

external

components and the RF I/Os are DC blocked for

robust operation. For applications which require

optimum OIP3, Idd should be set for 940 mA, to

yield +41 dBm OIP3. For applications which require

optimum output P1dB, Idd should be set for 1340 mA,

to yield +33 dBm Output P1dB.

Saturated Output Power: +33 dBm @ 20% PAE

Output IP3: +41 dBm

Gain: 18 dB

DC Supply: +7.V @ 1340 mA
