HMC396 v02.0109 InGaP HBT GAIN BLOCK MMIC AMPLIFIER, DC - 8 GHz Typical Applications Features An excellent cascadable 50 Ohm Gain: 12 dB 2 Gain Block or LO Driver for: P1dB Output Power: +14 dBm Microwave & VSAT Radios Stable Gain Over Temperature Test Equipment 50 Ohm I/Os 3 Military EW, ECM, C I Small Size: 0.38 x 0.58 x 0.1 mm Space Telecom Functional Diagram General Description The HMC396 die is a GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Gain Block MMIC DC to 8 GHz ampl ifier. This ampl ifier can be used as either a cascadable 50 Ohm gain stage or to drive the LO of HMC mixers with up to +16 dBm output power. The HMC396 offers 12 dB of gain and an output IP3 of +30 dBm while requiring only 56 mA from a +5V supply. The Darlington feedback pair used results in reduced sensitivity to normal process variations and yields excellent gain stability over temperature while requir- ing a minimal number of external bias components. The HMC396 can easily be integrated into Multi-Chip- 2 Modules (MCMs) due to its small (0.22mm ) size. 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 0.5mm (20 mils).
