Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC311LP3 & HMC311LP3E are GaAs InGaP
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Gain Block
MMIC SMT DC to 6 GHz amplifiers. This 3x3mm
QFN packaged amplifier can be used as either a
cascadable 50 Ohm gain stage or to drive the LO of
HMC mixers with up to +17 dBm output power. The
HMC311LP3(E) offers 14.5 dB of gain and an output
IP3 of +32 dBm while requiring only 56 mA from a
+5V supply. The Darlington feedback pair used results
in reduced sensitivity to normal process variations
and yields excellent gain stability over temperature
while requiring a minimal number of external bias
components.
