HMC590LP5 / 590LP5E

v01.0107

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC590LP5 & HMC590LP5E are high dynamic

range GaAs PHEMT MMIC 1 Watt Power Amplifiers

which operate from 6 to 9.5 GHz. The amplifier pro-

vides 21 dB of gain, +31 dBm of saturated power,

and 23% PAE from a +7welV supply. This 50 Ohm

matched amplifier does not require any external

components and the RF I/Os are DC blocked for ro-

bust operation. For applications which require op-

timum OIP3, Idd should be set for 520 mA, to yield

+40 dBm OIP3. For applications which require

optimum output P1dB, Idd should be set for 820 mA,

to yield +30 dBm Out-put P1dB.
