InGaP HBT GAIN BLOCK

MMIC AMPLIFIER, DC - 4 GHz

v04.0710

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC589ST89 & HMC589ST89E are InGaP HBT

Gain Block MMIC SMT amplifiers covering DC to

4 GHz and packaged in an industry standard

SOT89. The amplifier can be used as a cascadable

50 Ohm RF or IF gain stage as well as a LO or PA

driver with up to +19 dBm P1dB output power for

cellular/3G, FWA, CATV, microwave radio and test

equipment

applications.

The

HMC589ST89(E)

offers 20 dB gain and +33 dBm output IP3 at 1

GHz while requiring only 82 mA from a single

positive supply. The HMC589ST89(E) InGaP HBT

gain block offers excellent output power and gain

stability over temperature.

P1dB Output Power: +21 dBm

Gain: 21 dB

Output IP3: +33 dBm

Single Supply: +5V

Industry Standard SOT89 Package

Typical Applications
