HMC454ST89 / 454ST89E v05.0710 9 InGaP HBT 1/2 WATT HIGH IP3 AMPLIFIER, 0.4 - 2.5 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC454ST89 / HMC454ST89E is ideal for applications requiring a high dynamic range amplifier: Output IP3: +40 to +42 dBm * GSM, GPRS & EDGE 50% PAE @ +28 dBm Pout * CDMA & W-CDMA +17.5 dBm W-CDMA Channel Power@ -45 dBc ACP * CATV/Cable Modem Single +5V Supply * Fixed Wireless & WLL Industry Standard SOT89 Package Gain: 12.5 dB @ 2150 MHz AMPLIFIERS - LINEAR & POWER - SMT Included in the HMC-DK002 Designer's Kit Functional Diagram General Description The HMC454ST89 & HMC454ST89E are high dynamic range GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) 1/2 watt MMIC amplifiers operating between 0.4 and 2.5 GHz. Packaged in a low cost industry standard SOT89, the amplifier gain is typically 17.8 dB from 0.8 to 1.0 GHz and 12.5 dB from 1.8 to 2.2 GHz. Utilizing a minimum number of external components and a single +5V supply, the amplifier output IP3 can be optimized to +40 dBm at 0.9 GHz or +42 dBm at 2.0 GHz. The high output IP3 and PAE makes the HMC454ST89 an ideal driver amplifier for Cellular/PCS/3G, WLL, ISM and Fixed Wireless applications.
