Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC463LH250 is a GaAs MMIC pHEMT Low
Noise AGC Distributed Amplifier packaged in a
hermetic surface mount package which operates
between 2 and 20 GHz. The amplifier provides 13
dB of gain, 3 dB noise figure and 18 dBm of output
power at 1 dB gain compression while requiring only
60 mA from a +5V supply. An optional gate bias
(Vgg2) is provided to allow Adjustable Gain Control
(AGC) of 8 dB typical. Gain flatness is excellent at
±0.5 dB from 2 - 14 GHz making the HMC463LH250
ideal for EW, ECM RADAR, test equipment and
High-Reliability applications. The HMC463LH250
LNA I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms and are
internally DC blocked.

[2] Circuit Board Material: Rogers 4350
The circuit board used in the application should use
RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should
have 50 Ohm impedance while the package ground
leads and package bottom 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.
