HMC482ST89 / 482ST89E v04.0710 AMPLIFIERS - DRIVER & GAIN BLOCK - SMT 8 SiGe HBT GAIN BLOCK MMIC AMPLIFIER, DC - 5 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC482ST89 / HMC482ST89E is an ideal RF/IF gain block & LO or PA driver for: P1dB Output Power: +22 dBm * Cellular / PCS / 3G Output IP3: +36 dBm * Fixed Wireless, WLAN & WiMAX Cascadable 50 Ohm I/Os * CATV, Cable Modem & DBS Single Supply: +6V to +12V * Microwave Radio & Test Equipment Industry Standard SOT89 Package Gain: 20 dB Included in the HMC-DK001 Designer's Kit Functional Diagram General Description The HMC482ST89 & HMC482ST89E are SiGe Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Gain Block MMIC SMT amplifiers covering DC to 5 GHz. Packaged in an industry standard SOT89, the amplifier can be used as a cascadable 50 Ohm RF/IF gain stage as well as a LO or PA driver with up to +24 dBm output power. The Darlington feedback pair results in reduced sensitivity to normal process variations and excellent gain stability over temperature while requiring a minimal number of external bias components.

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.
