HMC323 v01.0701 MICROWAVE CORPORATION GaAs InGaP HBT MMIC DRIVER AMPLIFIER, DC - 3.0 GHz AMPLIFIERS - SMT 1 Typical Applications Features This Amplifier is ideal for RF Systems where high linearity is required such as: P1dB Output Power: +16 dBm • 2.2 - 2.7 MMDS Gain: 13 dB • Cellular & Basestations Single Supply: 8.75V • CATV Ultra Small Package: SOT26 Output IP3: +31 dBm • WirelessLAN Functional Diagram General Description The HMC323 is a GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC amplifier that operates from a single Vcc supply. The surface mount SOT26 amplifier can be used as a broadband gain stage or used with external matching for optimized narrow band applications. The HMC323 offers 13 dB of gain and +19 dBm of saturated power while only requiring 57 mA from a 8.75V supply. Using a Darlington feedback pair results in reduced sensitivity to normal process variations and provides a good 50-ohm input/output port match.
