HMC313 / 313E
General Description
Features
The HMC313 & HMC313E are GaAs InGaP
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC
ampli ers that operate from a single Vcc supply.
The surface mount SOT26 ampli er can be used
as a broadband gain stage or used with external
matching for optimized narrow band applications.
With Vcc biased at +5V, the HMC313(E) offers 17 dB
of gain and +15 dBm of saturated power while only
requiring 50 mA of current.
P1dB Output Power: +14 dBm
Output IP3: +27 dBm
Gain: 17 dB
Single Supply: +5V
High Reliability GaAs HBT Process
Ultra Small Package: SOT26
Included in the HMC-DK001 Designers Kit
Ideal as a Driver & Ampli er for:
• 2.2 - 2.7 GHz MMDS
• 3.5 GHz Wireless Local Loop
• 5 - 6 GHz UNII & HiperLAN

Evaluation PCB
List of Materials for Evaluation PCB 104217 [1]
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 should be connected directly
to the ground plane similar to that shown. A suffi-
cient 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.
