HMC604LP3 / 604LP3E v00.0308 Amplifiers - Low Noise - SMT 7 GaAs PHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER w/ BYPASS MODE, 4.8 - 6.0 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC604LP3 / HMC604LP3E is ideal for: Noise Figure: 1.5 dB • WiMAX/C-band Radio Output IP3: +26 dBm • Fixed Wireless Gain: 15 dB • Tower Mounted Amplifiers Integrated Low Loss LNA Bypass Path • Public Safety Infrastructure Single Supply: +3V or +5V • Telematics & DSRC 50 Ohm Matched Output/Input 16 Lead 3x3mm QFN Package: 9 mm2 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC604LP3(E) is a versatile, high dynamic range GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifier that integrates a low loss LNA bypass mode on the IC. The amplifier is ideal for WiMAX & C-band Radio receivers operating between 4.8 and 6.0 GHz and provides 1.5 dB noise figure, 15 dB of gain and +26 dBm IP3 from a single supply of +5V @ 42mA. Input and output return losses are 12 and 14 dB respectively with no external matching components required. A single control line (0/Vdd) is used to switch between LNA mode and a low loss bypass mode which reduces the current consumption to 10 µA.
