HMC635LC4 v02.0218 GaAs PHEMT MMIC DRIVERAMPLIFIER, 18 - 40 GHzTypical ApplicationsFeatures The HMC635LC4 is ideal for: Gain: 18.5 dB [2] T • Point-to-Point Radios P1dB: +22 dBm [2] M • Point-to-Multi-Point Radios & VSAT Output IP3: +27 dBm • LO Driver for Mixers Saturated Power: +23.5 dBm @ 15% PAE [2] K - S • Military & Space Supply Voltage: +5V @ 280 mA C 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output LO 24 Lead Ceramic 4x4mm SMT Package: 16mm2 Functional Diagram IN B General Description A The HMC635LC4 is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC Driver Amplifier die which operates between 18 and 40 GHz. The amplifier provides 18.5 dB of gain, +27 R & G dBm Output IP3, and +22 dBm of output power at 1 E dB gain compression, while requiring 280 mA from a IV +5V supply. Ideal as a driver amplifier for microwave R radio applications, or as an LO driver for mixers operating between 18 and 40 GHz, the HMC635LC4 is capable of providing up to +23.5 dBm of saturated S - D output power at 15% PAE. The amplifier’s I/Os are DC R blocked and internal y matched to 50 Ohms making it IE ideal for integration into Multi-Chip-Modules (MCMs).
