General DescriptionFunctional Diagram
The HMC740ST89E is an InGaP Heterojunction
Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Gain Block MMIC SMT
amplier covering 0.05 to 3 GHz. Packaged in an
industry standard SOT89, the amplier can be used
as a cascadable 50 Ohm RF or IF gain stage as
well as a PA or LO driver with up to +18 dBm output
power. The HMC740ST89E offers 15 dB of gain with
a +40 dBm output IP3 at 100 MHz, and can operate
directly from a +5V supply. The HMC740ST89E
exhibits excellent gain and output power stability over
temperature, while requiring a minimal number of
external bias components.
P1dB Output Power: +18 dBm
Gain: 15 dB
Output IP3: +40 dBm
Cascadable 50 Ohm I/Os
Single Supply: +5V
Industry Standard SOT89 Package
Robust 1000V ESD, Class 1C

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 Hittite upon request.
