HMC566LP4E

GaAs pHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE

AMPLIFIER, 28 - 36 GHz

v02.0609

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC566LP4E is a high dynamic range GaAs

pHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) in a

4x4 mm SMT package which operates from 28 to

36 GHz. The HMC566LP4E provides 21 dB of small

signal gain, 2.8 dB of noise figure and output IP3 of

24 dBm. This self-biased LNA is ideal for hybrid and

MCM assemblies due to its compact size, single

+3V supply operation, and DC blocked RF I/O’s.

The RoHS packaged HMC566LP4E eliminates the

need for wirebonding and allows the use of high

volume surface mount manufacturing techniques.

The HMC566LP4E is also available in chip form as

the HMC566.

Low Noise Figure: 2.8 dB

High Gain: 21 dB

High OIP3: +24 dBm

Single Positive Supply: +3V @ 82 mA

50 Ohm Matched & DC Blocked I/Os

24 Lead 4x4mm QFN Package: 16mm2

Typical Applications

The HMC566LP4E is ideal for:

• Point-to-Point Radios

• Point-to-Multi-Point Radios & VSAT

• Test Equipment and Sensors

• Military & Space
