HMC311LP3 / 311LP3E v06.0617 DRIVER & GAIN BLOCK AMPLIFIERS - SMT InGaP HBT GAIN BLOCK MMIC AMPLIFIER, DC - 6 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC311LP3(E) is ideal for: P1dB Output Power: +15.5 dBm • Cellular / PCS / 3G Output IP3: +32 dBm • Fixed Wireless & WLAN Gain: 14.5 dB • CATV & Cable Modem 50 Ohm I/O’s • Microwave Radio 16 Lead 3x3mm SMT Package: 9mm2 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC311LP3(E) is a GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Gain Block MMIC SMT DC to 6 GHz ampliiers. This 3x3mm QFN packaged ampliier can be used as either a cascadable 50 Ohm gain stage or to drive the LO of HMC mixers with up to +17 dBm output power. The HMC311LP3(E) offers 14.5 dB of gain and an output IP3 of +32 dBm while requiring only 56 mA from a +5V supply. The Darlington feedback pair used results in reduced sensitivity to normal process variations and yields excellent gain stability over temperature while requiring a minimal number of external bias components.
