v02.0311
General DescriptionFunctional Diagram
The HMC599ST89(E) is a GaAs PHEMT High
Linearity, Low Noise Gain Block MMIC SMT amplier
covering 50 to 1000 MHz. Packaged in an industry
standard SOT89, the amplier can be used as a
cascadable 75 Ohm RF or IF gain stage as well
as a PA or LO driver with up to +19 dBm output
power. The HMC599ST89(E) offers 14 dB of gain
with a +39 dBm output IP3 at 250 MHz, and can
operate directly from a +3V or +5V supply. The
HMC599ST89(E) exhibits excellent gain and output
power stability over temperature, while requiring a
minimal number of external bias components.
High P1dB Output Power: +19 dBm
High Output IP3: +39 dBm
Low Noise Figure: 2.2 dB
Cascadable 75 Ohm I/Os
Single Bias Supply: +3V or +5V
Industry Standard SOT89 Package
Typical Applications
The HMC599ST89(E) is ideal for:
• VHF / UHF Antennas
• HDTV Receivers
• CMTS Equipment
• CATV, Cable Modem & DBS

Evaluation PCB
The circuit board used in the application should use
RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should
have 50 Ohm impedance while the package ground
leads and package bottom 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
appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board
shown is available from Hittite upon request.
