LINEAR & POWER AMPLIFIERS - SMT
HMC415LP3 / 415LP3E
GaAs InGaP HBT MMIC
POWER AMPLIFIER, 4.9 - 5.9 GHz
v03.0605
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC415LP3 & HMC415LP3E are high effi-
ciency GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Tran-
sistor (HBT) MMIC Power ampli ers which operate
between 4.9 and 5.9 GHz. The ampli er is pack-
aged in a low cost, leadless surface mount pack-
age with an exposed base for improved RF and
thermal performance. With a minimum of external
components, the ampli er provides 20 dB of gain,
+26 dBm of saturated power, and 34% PAE from a
+3V supply voltage. Vpd can be used for full power
down or RF output power/current control. For +15
dBm OFDM output power (64 QAM, 54 Mbps), the
HMC415LP3 & HMC415LP3E achieve an error
vector magnitude (EVM) of 3.7% meeting 802.11a
linearity requirements.
