GaAs PHEMT MMIC MODULATOR DRIVER

AMPLIFIER, DC - 20 GHz

v06.1210

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The Hmc465lp5(e) is a GaAs mmic pHemT Dis-

tributed Driver Amplifier packaged in leadless 5x5

mm surface mount package which operate between

Dc and 20 GHz. The amplifier provides 15 dB of gain,

3 dB noise figure and +25 dBm of saturated output

power while requiring only 160 mA from a +8v supply.

Gain flatness is excellent at ±0.5 dB as well as ±4

deg deviation from linear phase from Dc - 10 GHz

making the Hmc465lp5(e) ideal for oc192 fiber

optic ln/mZ modulator driver amplifiers as well as

test equipment applications. The Hmc465lp5(e)

amplifiers i/os are internally matched to 50 ohms.

Gain: 15 dB

output voltage to 10vpk-pk

+24 dBm saturated output power

supply voltage: +8v @160 mA

50 ohm matched input/output

Typical Applications

The Hmc465lp5(e) wideband driver is ideal for:

• oc192 ln/mZ modulator Driver

• microwave radio & vsAT

• Test instrumentation
