HMC633

GaAs PHEMT MMIC DRIVER

AMPLIFIER, 5 - 17 GHz

v00.1107

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The hmc633 is a gaAs mmic phemT driver

Amplifier die which operates between 5 and 17 ghz.

The amplifier provides up to 31 db of gain, +30 dbm

output ip3, and +23 dbm of output power at 1 db

gain compression, while requiring 180 mA from a +5v

supply. The hmc633 is an ideal driver amplifier for

microwave radio applications from 5 to 17 ghz, and

may also be biased at +5v, 130 mA to provide 2 db

lower gain with improved pAe. The hmc633 amplifier

i/o’s are dc blocked and internally matched to 50

ohms facilitating easy integration into multi-chip-

modules (mcms). All data is taken with die connected

at input and output rf ports via one 1 mil wedge bond

with minimal length of 0.31 mm (12 mils).

gain: 29 db

p1db: +23 dbm

output ip3: +30 dbm

saturated power: +24 dbm @ 27% pAe

supply voltage: +5v @ 180 mA

50 ohm matched input/output

die size: 2.07 x 0.93 x 0.1 mm
