HMC606LC5 v04.0212 LOW NOISE AMPLIFIERS - SMT GaAs InGaP HBT MMIC ULTRA LOW PHASE NOISE, DISTRIBUTED AMPLIFIER, 2 - 18 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC606LC5 is ideal for: Ultra Low Phase Noise: -160 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz * Radar, EW & ECM P1dB Output Power: +15 dBm * Microwave Radio Gain: 13.5 dB * Test Instrumentation Output IP3: +27 dBm * Military & Space Supply Voltage: +5V @ 64 mA * Fiber Optic Systems 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output 32 Lead Ceramic 5x5mm SMT Package: 25mm2 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC606LC5 is a GaAs InGaP HBT MMIC Distributed Amplifier housed in a leadless 5x5 mm surface mount package which operates between 2 and 18 GHz. With an input signal of 12 GHz, the amplifier provides ultra low phase noise performance of -160 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset, representing a significant improvement over FET-based distributed amplifiers. The HMC606LC5 provides 13.5 dB of small signal gain, +27 dBm output IP3 and +15 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression while requiring 64 mA from a +5V supply. The HMC606LC5 amplifier I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms and are internally DC blocked. Electrical Specifications, TA = +25 C, Vcc1= Vcc2= 5V Parameter Min.

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.
