Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC562 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Distributed
Driver Amplifier die which operates between 2 and
35 GHz. The amplifier provides 12.5 dB of gain,
+19 dBm output IP3 and +12 dBm of output power
at 1 dB gain compression while requiring 80 mA
from a +8V supply. The HMC562 is ideal for EW,
ECM and radar driver amplifier applications. The
HMC562 amplifier I/O’s are DC blocked and internally
matched to 50 Ohms facilitating integration into Multi-
Chip-Modules (MCMs). All data is taken with the chip
connected via two 0.075mm (3 mil) ribbon bonds of
minimal length 0.31mm (12 mils).
