Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC608LC4 is a high dynamic range GaAs
PHEMT MMIC Medium Power Amplifier housed in a
leadless “Pb free” SMT package. The amplifier has
two modes of operation: high gain mode (Vpd pin
shorted to ground); and low gain mode (Vpd pin left
open). The electrical specifications in the table below
are shown for the amplifier operating in high gain
mode. Operating from 9.5 to 11.5 GHz, the amplifier
provides 29.5 dB of gain, +27.5 dBm of saturated power
and 23% PAE from a +5.0 V supply voltage. Noise
figure is 6 dB while output IP3 is +33 dBm. The RF
I/Os are DC blocked and matched to 50 Ohms for ease
of use. The HMC608LC4 eliminates the need for wire
bonding, allowing use of surface mount manufacturing
techniques.
Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, Vdd1, 2, 3 = 5V, Idd = 310 mA [1], Vpd = GND [2]

The circuit board used in this 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.
