HMC459

The HMC459 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Distributed Power Amplifi er die which operates between DC and 18 GHz. The amplifi er provides 17 dB of gain, +31.5 dBm output IP3 and +25 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression while requiring 290 mA from a +8V supply. Gain fl atness is good making the HMC459 ideal for EW, ECM and radar driver amplifi er applications. The HMC459 amplifi er I/O's are internally matched to 50 Ohms facilitating easy integration into Multi- Chip-Modules (MCMs). All data is with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fi xture connected via 0.025mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of minimal length 0.31mm (12 mils).
