Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC616LP3(E) is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC
Low Noise Amplifier that is ideal for Cellular/3G and
LTE/WiMAX/4G basestation front-end receivers
operating between 175 and 660 MHz. The amplifier
has been optimized to provide 0.5 dB noise figure,
24 dB gain and +37 dBm output IP3 from a single
supply of +5V. Input and output return losses are
excellent with minimal external matching and bias
decoupling components. The HMC616LP3(E) shares
the same package and pinout with the HMC617-
LP3(E)andHMC618LP3(E)LNAs.TheHMC616LP3(E)
can be biased with +3V to +5V and features an
externally adjustable supply current which allows the
designer to tailor the linearity performance of the LNA
for each application.
