GaAs pHEMT MMIC 1 WATT
POWER AMPLIFIER, DC - 6 GHz
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
Typical Applications
The HMC637ALP5E is a GaAs MMIC pHEMT
Distributed Power Amplier which operates bet-
ween DC and 6 GHz. The amplier provides 13 dB
of gain, +44 dBm output IP3 and +29 dBm of output
power at 1 dB gain compression while requiring 400
mA from a +12V supply. Gain atness is excellent at
±0.75 dB from DC - 6 GHz making the HMC637ALP5E
ideal for EW, ECM, Radar and test equipment
applications. The HMC637ALP5E amplier I/Os
are internally matched to 50 Ohms and the 5x5 mm
QFN package is compatible with high volume SMT
assembly equipment.
