HMC342LC4
v04.0514
GaAs PHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE
AMPLIFIER, 13 - 25 GHz
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC342LC4 is a GaAs pHEMT MMIC Low
Noise Amplier housed in a leadless 4x4 mm RoHS
compliant SMT package. Operating from 13 to 25
GHz, the amplier provides 22 dB of gain and +19
dBm of output IP3 from a single +3V supply. The
low noise gure performance of 3.5 dB is ideal for
receive and transmit pre-driver applications. The RF
I/Os are DC blocked and matched to 50 Ohms for
ease of use. The HMC342LC4 allows the use of
surface mount manufacturing techniques and requires
no external matching components.
