HMC383LC4

GaAs PHEMT MMIC MEDIUM

POWER AMPLIFIER, 12 - 30 GHz

v04.1208

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC383LC4 is a general purpose GaAs PHEMT

MMIC Driver Amplifier housed in a leadless RoHS

compliant SMT package. The amplifier provides 15 dB

of gain and +18 dBm of saturated power from a single

+5V supply. Consistent gain and output power across

the operating band make it possible to use a com-

mon driver/LO amplifier approach in multiple radio

bands. The RF I/Os are DC blocked and matched to

50 Ohms for ease of use. The HMC383LC4 is housed

in a RoHS compliant leadless 4x4 mm package allow-

ing the use of surface mount manufacturing tech-

niques.

Gain: 15 dB

Saturated Output Power: +18 dBm

Output IP3: +25 dBm

Single Positive Supply: +5V @ 100 mA

50 Ohm Matched Input/Output

RoHS Compliant 4x4 mm Package

Typical Applications

The HMC383LC4 is ideal for:

• Point-to-Point Radios

• Point-to-Multi-Point Radios & VSAT

• Test Equipment & Sensors

• LO Driver for HMC Mixers

• Military & Space
