General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC-C008 is a 15 Watt Power Amplifier Module

suitable for Cellular/3G repeaters, laboratory use

and ATE applications. The unit includes DC power

sequencing, enable and conditioning, as well as an

output circulator for load mismatch protection. Ther-

mal protection/fault circuitry automatically turns off DC

power at base temperatures exceeding +75 °C and

restores power at < +55 °C.
