HMC442LM1

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC442LM1 is a broadband 17.5 to 24 GHz

GaAs PHEMT MMIC Medium Power Amplifier in a

SMT leadless chip carrier package. The LM1 is a true

surface mount broadband millimeterwave package

offering low loss & excellent I/O match, preserving

MMIC chip performance. The amplifier provides

14 dB of gain and +23 dBm of saturated power at

27% PAE from a +5V supply voltage. This 50 Ohm

matched amplifier has integrated DC blocks on RF

in and out and makes an ideal linear gain block,

transmit chain driver or LO driver for HMC SMT mixers.

As an alternative to chip-and-wire hybrid assem-

blies the HMC442LM1 eliminates the need for

wirebonding, thereby providing a consistent con-

nection interface for the customer.

Saturated Power: +23 dBm @ 27% PAE

Gain: 14 dB

Supply Voltage: +5V

50 Ohm Matched Input/Output

Typical Applications

The HMC442LM1 is an ideal gain block or driver

amplifier for:

• Point-to-Point Radios

• Point-to-Multi-Point Radios

• VSAT

*Adjust Vgg between -1.5 to -0.5V to achieve Idd = 85 mA typical.
