General Description
The HMC481MP86 & HMC481MP86E are SiGe
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Gain Block
MMIC SMT amplifiers covering DC to 5 GHz. This
Micro-P packaged amplifier can be used as a cas-
cadable 50 Ohm RF/IF gain stage as well as a LO
or PA driver with up to +21 dBm output power. The
HMC481MP86(E) offers 20 dB of gain with a +33 dBm
output IP3 at 850 MHz while requiring only 74 mA
from a single positive supply. The Darlington feedback
pair used results in reduced sensitivity to normal
process variations and excellent gain stability over
temperature while requiring a minimal number of
external bias components.
Electrical Specifications, Vs= 8.0 V, Rbias= 39 Ohm, TA = +25° C
