GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HMC788A-EP is a 0.01 GHz to 10 GHz, gain block,
monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) amplifier
using gallium arsenide (GaAs) and pseudomorphic high
electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) technology.
The HMC788A-EP offers 14 dB of gain and an OIP3 of 33 dBm
while requiring only 76 mA from a 5 V supply.
The Darlington feedback pair exhibits reduced sensitivity to
normal process variations and yields excellent gain stability over
temperature while requiring a minimal number of external bias
components.
This 2 mm × 2 mm LFCSP amplifier can be used as either a
cascadable 50 Ω gain stage, or to drive the local oscillator (LO)
port of many of the single and double balanced mixers from
Analog Devices, Inc. with up to 20 dBm output power.
Additional application and technical information can be found
in the HMC788A data sheet.
