AMPLIFIERS - LOW NOISE - SMT
1
HMC462LP5 / 462LP5E
v05.0213
GaAs pHEMT MMIC
LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER, 2 - 20 GHz
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC462LP5 & HMC462LP5E are GaAs MMIC
pHEMT Low Noise Distributed Ampliers in leadless
5x5 mm surface mount packages which operate
between 2 and 20 GHz. The self-biased amplier
provides 13 dB of gain, 2.5 to 3.5 dB noise gure and
+14.5 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression
while requiring only 66 mA from a single +5V supply.
Gain atness is excellent from 6 - 18 GHz making
the HMC462LP5 & HMC462LP5E ideal for EW,
ECM RADAR and test equipment applications. The
wideband amplier I/Os are internally matched to 50
Ohms and are internally DC blocked.
Noise Figure: 2.5 dB @ 10 GHz
Gain: 13 dB

Self-Biased: +5V @ 66mA
50 Ohm Matched Input/Output
25 mm2 Leadless SMT Package
Typical Applications
The HMC462LP5 / HMC462LP5E Wideband LNA is
ideal for:
• Telecom Infrastructure
• Microwave Radio & VSAT
• Military EW, ECM & C3I
• Test Instrumentation

Evaluation PCB
The circuit board used in the application should use
RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should
have 50 Ohm impedance while the package ground
leads and package bottom should be connected
directly to the ground plane similar to that shown.
A sufficient number of via holes should be used
to connect the top and bottom ground planes.
The evaluation board should be mounted to an
appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board
shown is available from Hittite upon request.
