HMC311LP 3 / 311LP 3E
v05.1213
InGaP HBT GAIN BLOCK
MMIC AMPLIFIER, DC - 6 GHz
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC311LP3(E) is a GaAs InGaP Heterojunction
Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Gain Block MMIC
SMT DC to 6 GHz ampliers. This 3x3mm
QFN packaged amplier can be used as either a
cascadable 50 Ohm gain stage or to drive the LO of
HMC mixers with up to +17 dBm output power. The
HMC311LP3(E) offers 14.5 dB of gain and an output
IP3 of +32 dBm while requiring only 56 mA from a
+5V supply. The Darlington feedback pair used results
in reduced sensitivity to normal process variations
and yields excellent gain stability over temperature
while requiring a minimal number of external bias
components.
P1dB Output Power: +15.5 dBm
Output IP3: +32 dBm
Gain: 14.5 dB
