Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC517LC4 chip is a high dynamic range GaAs
PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) housed in
a leadless “Pb free” RoHS compliant SMT package.
The HMC517LC4 provides 19 dB of small signal gain,
2.5 dB of noise figure and has an output IP3 of
+23 dBm. The P1dB output power of +13 dBm enables
the LNA to also function as a LO driver for balanced,
I/Q or image reject mixers. The HMC517LC4 allows
the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, Vdd 1, 2, 3 = +3V
