GaAs PHEMT MMIC MEDIUM

POWER AMPLIFIER, 6.5 - 13.5 GHz

v04.0508

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC441LP3 & HMC441LP3E are broadband

GaAs PHEMT MMIC Medium Power Amplifiers which

operate between 6.5 and 13.5 GHz. The leadless

plastic

QFN

surface

mount

packaged

amplifier

provides 14 dB of gain, +20 dBm saturated power

at 20% PAE from a +5V supply voltage. An optional

gate bias is provided to allow adjustment of gain,

RF output power, and DC power dissipation. This

50 Ohm matched amplifier does not require any

external components making it an ideal linear gain

block or driver for HMC SMT mixers.

Gain: 14 dB

Saturated Power: +20 dBm @ 20% PAE
