General DescriptionFunctional Diagram
The HMC479MP86 & HMC479MP86E are SiGe
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Gain Block
MMIC SMT ampli ers covering DC to 5 GHz. This
Micro-P packaged ampli er can be used as a
cascadable 50 Ohm RF/IF gain stage as well as a LO
or PA driver with up to +21 dBm output power. The
HMC479MP86(E) offers 15 dB of gain with a +34 dBm
output IP3 at 850 MHz while requiring only 72 mA from
a single positive supply. The Darlington feedback pair
used results in reduced sensitivity to normal process
variations and excellent gain stability over temperature
while requiring a minimal number of external bias
components.
P1dB Output Power: +18 dBm
Gain: 15 dB
Output IP3: +34 dBm
Cascadable 50 Ohm I/Os
Single Supply: +5V to +12V
Included in the HMC-DK001 Designer’s Kit
Typical Applications
The HMC479MP86 / HMC479MP86E is an ideal RF/
IF gain block & LO or PA driver:
• Cellular / PCS / 3G
• Fixed Wireless & WLAN
• CATV, Cable Modem & DBS
• Microwave Radio & Test Equipment
