General DescriptionFunctional Diagram
The HMC580ST89 & HMC580ST89E are InGaP
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Gain
Block MMIC SMT ampli ers covering DC to 1 GHz.
Packaged in an industry standard SOT89, the
ampli er can be used as a cascadable 50 Ohm RF
or IF gain stage as well as a PA or LO driver with
up to +26 dBm output power. The HMC580ST89(E)
offers 22 dB of gain with a +37 dBm output IP3 at 250
MHz, and can operate directly from a +5V supply. The
HMC580ST89(E) exhibits excellent gain and output
power stability over temperature, while requiring a
minimal number of external bias components.
P1dB Output Power: +22 dBm
Gain: 22 dB

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 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.
