General Description
Functional Diagram
The HMC415LP3 & HMC415LP3E are high efficiency GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC Power amplifiers which operate
between 4.9 and 5.9 GHz. The amplifier is packaged in a low cost, leadless surface mount package with an exposed base for improved RF and
thermal performance. With a minimum of external
components, the amplifier provides 20 dB of gain,
+26 dBm of saturated power, and 34% PAE from a
+3V supply voltage. Vpd can be used for full power
down or RF output power/current control. For +15
dBm OFDM output power (64 QAM, 54 Mbps), the
HMC415LP3 & HMC415LP3E achieve an error
vector magnitude (EVM) of 3.7% meeting 802.11a
linearity requirements.

8, 9, 12, 13,
15, 16
GND
Ground: Backside of package has exposed metal ground slug
that must be connected to ground thru a short path. Vias under
the device are required.
4
RFIN
This pin is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms from 5.0 to 6.0 GHz.
10, 11
RFOUT
RF output and DC bias for the output stage.
14
Vpd
Power control pin. For maximum power, this pin should be connected to
3.0V. A higher voltage is not recommended. For lower idle current, this
voltage can be reduced.

The circuit board used in the final 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.
