The chip can easily be integrated into Multi-Chip-Modules (MCMs) due to its small (1.93 mm2) size. The HMC-AUH256 offers 21 dB of gain and +20 dBm output power at 1 dB compression from a bias supply of +5V @ 295 mA. The HMC-AUH256 may also be used as a frequency doubler. Detail bias condition to achieve doubler operation. Electrical Specifi cations [1], TA = +25°C Vdd1 = Vdd2 = Vdd3 = Vdd4 = 5V, Idd1 + Idd2 + Idd3 + Idd4 = 295mA [2] Parameter Min.
