Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC1086 is a 25W Gallium Nitride (GaN) Power
Amplifier MMIC which operates between 2 and 6 GHz.
The amplifier typically provides 22 dB of small signal
gain, +44.5 dBm of saturated output power, and
+48 dBm output IP3 at +33 dBm output power per
tone. The HMC1086 draws 1100 mA quiescent current
from a +28V DC supply. The RF I/Os are DC blocked
and matched to 50 Ohms for ease of integration into
Multi-Chip-Modules (MCM). All electrical performance
data was acquired with die eutectically attached to
1.02 mm (40 mil) thick CuMo carrier with multiple
1.0 mil diameter ball bonds connecting the die to
50 Ohm transmission lines on alumina.
