HMC406MS8G / 406MS8GE
GaAs InGaP HBT MMIC
POWER AMPLIFIER, 5.0 - 6.0 GHz
v04.0307
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram The HMC406MS8G & HMC406MS8GE are high effi -ciency GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor
(HBT) MMIC Power amplifi ers which operate between 5.0 and 6.0 GHz. The amplifi er is packaged in a low cost, surface mount 8 leaded package with an exposed base for improved RF and thermal performance. With a minimum of external components, the amplifi er pro-vides 17 dB of gain and +29 dBm of saturated power at 38% PAE from a +5.0V supply voltage. Vpd can be used for full power down or RF output power/current control.
Gain: 17 dB
Saturated Power: +29 dBm 38% PAE
Supply Voltage: +5.0 V Power Down Capability
Low External Part Count
Electrical Specifications, T A = +25° C, Vs = 5V, Vpd = 5V
Typical Applications
This amplifi er is ideal for use as a driver
amplifi er for 5.0 - 6.0 GHz applications:? UNII

Evaluation PCB
The circuit board used in the fi nal application should
use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should have 50 ohm impedance while the package ground leads and exposed paddle should be con-nected directly to the ground plane similar to that shown. A suffi cient number of via holes should be used to connect the top and bottom ground planes. The evaluation board should be mounted to an appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
