HMC634LC4 v03.0514 DRIVER & GAIN BLOCK AMPLIFIERS - SMT GaAs PHEMT MMIC DRIVER AMPLIFIER, 5 - 20 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC634LC4 is ideal for: Gain: 21 dB * Point-to-Point Radios P1dB: +22 dBm * Point-to-Multi-Point Radios & VSAT Saturated Power: +23 dBm @ 17% PAE * LO Driver for Mixers Single Supply Voltage: +5V @180 mA * Military & Space 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output 24 Lead 4x4mm SMT Package: 16mm2 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC634LC4 is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC Driver Amplifier in a leadless 4 x 4 mm ceramic surface mount package which operates between 5 and 20 GHz The amplifier provides up to 21 dB of gain, +29 dBm Output IP3, and +22 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression, while requiring 180 mA from a +5V supply. The HMC634LC4 is an ideal driver amplifier for microwave radio applications from 5 to 20 GHz, and may be biased at +5V, 130 mA to provide lower gain with optimized PAE. The amplifier's I/Os are DC blocked and matched to 50 Ohms with no external matching required. Electrical Specifications, TA = +25 C, Vdd1-4= 5V, Idd= 180 mA [1] Parameter Min.
