HMC-APH518 v02.0208 GaAs HEMT MMIC 1 WATT POWER AMPLIFIER, 21 - 24 GHz Typical Applications Features Output IP3: +39 dBm This HMC-APH518 is ideal for: P1dB: +30.5 dBm Point-to-Point Radios Gain: 17 dB Point-to-Multi-Point Radios 3 Supply Voltage: +5V VSAT 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output Military & Space Die Size: 4.49 x 1.31 x 0.1 mm General Description Functional Diagram The HMC-APH518 is a two stage GaAs HEMT MMIC 1 Watt Power Ampl ifier which operates between 21 and 24 GHz. The HMC-APH518 provides 17 dB of gain, and an output power of +30.5 dBm at 1 dB compression from a +5V supply voltage. All bond pads and the die backside are Ti/Au metallized and the ampl ifier device is fully passivated for reliable operation. The HMC-APH518 GaAs HEMT MMIC 1 Watt Power Amplifi er is compatible with conventional die attach methods, as well as thermocompression and thermosonic wire bonding, making it ideal for MCM and hybrid microcircuit applications. All data Shown herein is measured with the chip in a 50 Ohm environment and contacted with RF probes. 1 2 Electrical Specifi cations , T = +25 C, Vdd1=Vdd2= 5V, Idd1+Idd2= 950 mA A Parameter Min.
