HMC318MS8G / 318MS8GE v02.0607 LOW NOISE AMPLIFIERS - SMT 8 GaAs MMIC LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER with AGC, 5 - 6 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC318MS8G / HMC318MS8GE is ideal for: LNA with 18 dB Gain Control +3V Operation * UNII Low Noise Figure: 2.5 dB * HiperLAN No External Components Ultra Small 8 Lead MSOP: 14.8mm2 x 1mm High Functional Diagram General Description The HMC318MS8G & HMC318MS8GE are surface mount low cost C-band variable gain low noise amplifiers (VGLNA) that serve the full UNII and HiperLAN bands. The HMC318MS8G & HMC318MS8GE operate using a single positive supply that can be set between +3V or +5V. When a control voltage of 0V to +3V is applied, the gain of the amplifier will decrease while maintaining excellent return loss performance. A maximum gain of 9 dB is achieved when VCTL is set to 0V and a minimum gain of -9 dB is achieved when Vctl is set to +3V. Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25 C, Vdd = +3V Parameter* Min.
