Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC606LC5 is a GaAs InGaP HBT MMIC
Distributed Amplifier housed in a leadless 5x5 mm
surface mount package which operates between 2
and 18 GHz. With an input signal of 12 GHz, the
amplifier provides ultra low phase noise performance
of -160 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset, representing a
significant improvement over FET-based distributed
amplifiers. The HMC606LC5 provides 13.5 dB of small
signal gain, +27 dBm output IP3 and +15 dBm of out-
put power at 1 dB gain compression while requiring
64 mA from a +5V supply. The HMC606LC5 amplifier
I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms and are
internally DC blocked.
