HMC287MS8 / 287MS8E
GaAs MMIC LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER
with AGC, 2.3 - 2.5 GHz
v02.0605
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC287MS8 & HMC287MS8E are low cost
Low Noise Ampli ers (LNA) offering 21 dB of gain
and a 2.5 dB noise gure from a single positive +3V
supply that requires only 9 mA. The HMC287MS8 &
HMC287MS8E can be used as variable gain LNAs,
offering 30 dB of gain control, which is controlled
with 0 to 3V analog voltages. The typical output 1 dB
compression point is +3 dBm and OIP3 is +7 dBm
when in the maximum gain state. The compact LNA
design utilizes on-chip matching for repeatable gain
and noise gure performance and eliminates the need
for external matching circuitry to reduce the overall
size of the LNA function.

Evaluation PCB
The circuit board used in the nal application should
use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines
should have 50 ohm impedance while the package
ground leads and exposed paddle should be con-
nected directly to the ground plane similar to that
shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be
used to connect the top and bottom ground planes.
The evaluation circuit board shown is available from
Hittite upon request.
