HMC518 v02.0217 GaAs pHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER, 20 - 32 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC518 is ideal for use as a LNA or driver ampli- Noise Figure: 3 dB fier for: Gain: 15 dB Point-to-Point Radios OIP3: 23 dBm Point-to-Multi-Point Radios & VSAT Single Supply: +3V 65 mA Test Equipment and Sensors 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output Military & Space Die Size: 2.27 x 1.32 x 0.1 mm General Description Functional Diagram The HMC518 chip is a high dynamic range GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) which covers the 20 to 32 GHz frequency range. The HMC518 provides 15 dB of small signal gain, 3 dB of noise figure and has an output IP3 greater than 23 dBm. The chip can easily be integrated into hy- brid or MCM assemblies due to its small size. All data is tested with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture con- nected via 0.075mm (3 mil) ribbon bonds of minimal length 0.31 mm (12 mil). Two 0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter bondwires may also be used to make the RFIN and RFOUT connections. Electrical Specifications, T = +25 C, Vdd 1, 2, 3 = +3V A Parameter Min. Typ. Max. Min. Typ. Max.
