Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC442LC3B is an efficient GaAs PHEMT MMIC
Medium Power Amplifier housed in a leadless “Pb free”
RoHS compliant SMT package. Operating between
17.5 and 25.5 GHz, the amplifier provides 13 dB of
gain, +23 dBm of saturated power and 26% PAE from
a +5V supply voltage. This 50 Ohm matched amplifier
does not require any external components, making
it an ideal linear gain block or driver for HMC SMT
mixers. The HMC442LC3B allows the use of surface
mount manufacturing techniques.

The circuit board used in the final application should
use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines
should have 50 ohm impedance while the package
ground leads and exposed paddle 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.
