General Description
The HMC637ALP5E is
a GaAs MMIC pHEMT
Distributed Power Amplifier which operates bet-
ween DC and 6 GHz. The amplifier provides 13 dB
of gain, +44 dBm output IP3 and +29 dBm of output
power at 1 dB gain compression while requiring 400
mA from a +12V supply. Gain flatness is excellent at
0.75 dB from DC - 6 GHz making the HMC637ALP5E
ideal for EW, ECM, Radar and test equipment
applications. The HMC637ALP5E amplifier I/Os
are internally matched to 50 Ohms and the 5x5 mm
QFN package is compatible with high volume SMT
assembly equipment.
