General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC392A is a GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifier
die which operates between 3.5 and 7.0 GHz. The
amplifier provides 17.2 dB of gain, 1.7 dB noise
figure, and 32.5 dBm IP3 from a +5V supply voltage.
The HMC392A has six bonding adjustment options
which allow the user to select the bias point and
output power of the device (+10 to +19.7 dBm). The
HMC392A amplifier can easily be integrated into
Multi-Chip-Modules (MCMs) due to its small (1.3 mm
2
)
size. All data is with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture
connected via 0.025mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of
minimal length 0.31mm (12 mils).
