GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HMC8500PM5E is a gallium nitride (GaN), broadband
power amplifier delivering 10 W (40 dBm), typical, with up to
55% power added efficiency (PAE) across an instantaneous
bandwidth of 0.01 GHz to 2.8 GHz, at an input power of
30 dBm. The typical gain flatness is 3 dB at small signal levels.
The HMC8500PM5E is ideal for pulsed or continuous wave
(CW) applications, such as wireless infrastructure, radars,
public mobile radios, and general-purpose amplification.
The HMC8500PM5E amplifier is externally tuned using low
cost, surface-mount components and is available in a compact
LFCSP package.
Note that, throughout this data sheet, multifunction pins, such
as RFIN/V
GG
, are referred to either by the entire pin name or by
a single function of the pin, for example, RFIN, when only that
function is relevant.
