HMC392LH5
GaAs MMIC LOW NOISE
AMPLIFIER, 3.5 - 7.0 GHz
v00.0707
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC392LH5 is a GaAs MMIC Low Noise
Ampli er packaged in a hermetic surface mount
package which operates between 3.5 and 7 GHz. The
ampli er provides 15.4 dB of gain, 2.5 dB noise gure,
and +24.5 dBm output IP3 from a single+5V supply.
The HMC392LH5 has six biasing options which allow
the user to select the bias point and output power of the
device (+13 to +17 dBm). The HMC392LH5 functions
well as a low noise or driver ampli er and is ideal for
driving the LO port of Hittite mixers. The HMC392LH5
is well suited for high reliability military, industrial and
space applications.

[1] Reference this number when ordering complete evaluation PCB
[2] Circuit Board Material: Rogers 4350.
List of Materials for Evaluation PCB 117431 [1]
The circuit board used in this application should use
RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should
have 50 ohm impedance while the package ground
leads and exposed paddle should be connected
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 board should be mounted to an appro-
priate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board shown
is available from Hittite upon request.
