HMC471MS8G / 471MS8GE v01.0605 9 Typical Applications Features The HMC471MS8G / HMC471MS8GE is a dual RF/IF gain block & LO or PA driver: P1dB Output Power: +20 dBm • Cellular / PCS / 3G DRIVER & GAIN BLOCK AMPLIFIERS - SMT SiGe HBT DUAL CHANNEL GAIN BLOCK MMIC AMPLIFIER, DC - 5 GHz Gain: 20 dB Output IP3: +34 dBm • Fixed Wireless & WLAN Supply (Vs): +6V to +12V • CATV, Cable Modem & DBS 14.9 mm2 Ultra Small 8 Lead MSOP • Microwave Radio & Test Equipment General Description The HMC471MS8G & HMC471MS8GE are SiGe HBT Dual Channel Gain Block MMIC SMT amplifiers covering DC to 5 GHz. These versatile products contain two gain blocks, packaged in a single 8 lead plastic MSOP, for use as either separate cascadable 50 Ohm RF/IF gain stages, LO or PA drivers or with both amplifiers combined utilizing external 90° hybrids to create a high linearity driver amplifier. Each amplifier in the HMC471MS8G(E) offers 20 dB of gain, +20 dBm P1dB with a +34 dBm output IP3 at 850 MHz while requiring only 80 mA from a single positive supply. The combined dual amplifier circuit delivers up to +21 dBm P1dB with +36 dBm OIP3 for specific application bands through 4 GHz.
