Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC373LP3 / HMC373LP3E are versatile, high
dynamic range GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifiers
that integrates a low loss LNA bypass mode on the
IC. The amplifier is ideal for GSM & CDMA cellular
basestation front-end receivers operating between
700 and 1000 MHz and provides 0.9 dB noise figure,
14 dB of gain and +35 dBm IP3 from a single supply of
+5V @ 90 mA. Input and output return losses are 28
and 12 dB respectively with the LNA requiring minimal
external components to optimize the RF input match,
RF ground and DC bias. By presenting an open or
short circuit to a single control line, the LNA can be
switched into a low 2.0 dB loss bypass mode reducing
the current consumption to 10 μA. For applications
which require improved noise figure, please see the
HMC668LP3(E).

107177 Evaluation Board
The circuit board used in the 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 circuit board shown is available from
Hittite upon request.

Evaluation Board Circuit
Note 1: Choose value of capacitor C1 for low frequency bypassing. A 0.01 μF ±10% capacitor is recommended.
Note 2: Pin 4 (Vctl) is the DC ground return for the circuit. The LNA is in the high gain mode when a short circuit is introduced to this
pin through an external switch. The LNA is in bypass mode when an open circuit is introduced. For the data presented, switching is
done through a two position DIP switch (J5) in series with a 2 Ohm resistor (to account for the Ron of an electrical switch).
Note 3: L1, L2 and C1 should be located as close to pins as possible.
