Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC342LC4 is a GaAs pHEMT MMIC Low
Noise Amplifier housed in a leadless 4x4 mm RoHS
compliant SMT package. Operating from 13 to 25
GHz, the amplifier provides 22 dB of gain and +19
dBm of output IP3 from a single +3V supply. The
low noise figure performance of 3.5 dB is ideal for
receive and transmit pre-driver applications. The RF
I/Os are DC blocked and matched to 50 Ohms for
ease of use. The HMC342LC4 allows the use of
surface mount manufacturing techniques and requires
no external matching components.

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.
