HMC788LP2E v03.0913 AMPLIFIERS - DRIVER & GAIN BLOCK - SMT pHEMT GAIN BLOCK MMIC AMPLIFIER, DC - 10 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC788LP2E is ideal for: P1dB Output Power: +20 dBm * Cellular/3G & LTE/WiMAX/4G Output IP3: +30 dBm * LO Driver Applications Gain: 14 dB * Microwave Radio 50 Ohm I/O's * Test & Measurement Equipment 6 Lead 2x2 mm DFN SMT Package: 4 mm2 * UWB Communications Functional Diagram General Description The HMC788LP2E is a GaAs pHEMT Gain Block MMIC SMT DC to 10 GHz amplifier. This 2x2 mm DFN packaged amplifier can be used as either a cascadable 50 Ohm gain stage or to drive the LO port of many of HIttite's single and double-balanced mixers with up to +20 dBm output power. The HMC788LP2E offers 14 dB of gain and an output IP3 of +30 dBm while requiring only 76 mA from a +5V supply. The Darlington feedback pair exhibits reduced sensitivity to normal process variations and yields excellent gain stability over temperature while requiring a minimal number of external bias components.
