General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC464LP5E is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Dis-
tributed Power Ampliers in leadless 5 x 5 mm
surface mount packages which operate bet-
ween 2 and 20 GHz. The amplier provides 14 dB
of gain, +30 dBm output IP3 and +26 dBm of output
power at 1 dB gain compression while requiring
290 mA from a +8V supply. Gain atness is good
from 2 - 18 GHz making the HMC464LP5E ideal for
EW, ECM and radar driver ampliers as well as test
equipment applications. The wideband amplier I/O’s
are internally matched to 50 Ohms.
P1dB Output Power: +26 dBm
Gain: 14 dB
Output IP3: +30 dBm
Supply Voltage: +8V @ 290 mA
50 Ohm Matched Input/Output
25 mm2 Leadless SMT Package
Typical Applications
The HMC464LP5E is ideal for:
• Telecom Infrastructure
• Microwave Radio & VSAT
• Military EW, ECM & C3I
• Test Instrumentation
• Fiber Optics

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 Analog Devices
upon request.
