General Description
The HMC457QS16G & HMC457QS16GE are high
dynamic range GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar
Transistor (HBT) 1 watt MMIC power amplifiers
operating between 1.7 and 2.2 GHz. Packaged in a
miniature 16 lead QSOP plastic package, the amplifier
gain is typically 27 dB from 1.7 to 2.0 GHz and 25 dB
from 2.0 to 2.2 GHz. Utilizing a minimum number of
external components, the amplifier output IP3 can
be optimized to +45 dBm. The power control (Vpd)
can be used for full power down or RF output power/
current control. The high output IP3 and PAE make
the HMC457QS16G & HMC457QS16GE ideal power
amplifiers for Cellular/3G base station & repeater
applications.
Electrical Specifications, TA = +25°C, Vs= +5V, Vpd = +5V, Vbias = +5V [1]
