GaAs InGaP HBT MMIC DRIVER
AMPLIFIER, 3.0 - 4.5 GHz
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC326MS8G & HMC326MS8GE are high
efficiency GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar
Transistor (HBT) MMIC driver ampliers which
operate between 3.0 and 4.5 GHz. The amplier
is packaged in a low cost, surface mount 8 leaded
package with an exposed base for improved RF and
thermal performance. The amplier provides 21 dB
of gain and +26 dBm of saturated power from a +5V
supply voltage. Power down capability is available to
conserve current consumption when the amplier is
not in use. Internal circuit matching was optimized to
provide greater than 40% PAE.
Psat Output Power: +26 dBm
