HMC609LC4 v03.0514 GaAs PHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER, 2 - 4 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC609LC4 is ideal for: Excellent Gain Flatness: 0.4 dB Fixed Microwave High Gain: 20 dB Test & Measurement Equipment Low Noise Figure: 3.5 dBm Radar & Sensors Output IP3: +36.5 dBm Military & Space 50 Ohm Matched & DC Blocked RF I/Os RoHS Compliant 4 x 4 mm SMT Package Functional Diagram General Description The HMC609LC4 is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) which operates from 2 to 4 GHz. The HMC609LC4 features extremely flat performance characteristics including 20 dB of small signal gain, 3.5 dB of noise figure and output IP3 of +36.5 dBm across the operating band. This 50 Ohm matched amplifier does not require any external matching components. The HMC609LC4 is compatible with high volume surface mount manufacturing techniques, and the RF I/Os are DC blocked for further ease of integration. 1 Electrical Specifications, T = +25 C, Vdd1 = Vdd2 = +6V, Idd1 + Idd2 = 170 mA A Parameter Min.
