General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC590LP5E are high dynamic range GaAs
pHEMT MMIC 1 Watt Power Ampliers which
operate from 6 to 9.5 GHz. The amplier pro-
vides 21 dB of gain, +31 dBm of saturated power,
and 23% PAE from a +7V supply. This 50 Ohm
matched amplier does not require any external
components and the RF I/Os are DC blocked for ro-
bust operation. For applications which require op-
timum OIP3, Idd should be set for 520 mA, to yield
+40 dBm OIP3. For applications which require
optimum output P1dB, Idd should be set for 820 mA,
to yield +30 dBm Output P1dB.
Electrical Specications, TA = +25° C, Vdd = +7V, Idd = 820 mA[1]
Typical Applications
The HMC590LP5E is ideal for use as a power ampli-
er for:
• Point-to-Point Radios
• Point-to-Multi-Point Radios
• Test Equipment & Sensors
• Military End-Use
• Space

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 , Inc.
upon request.
