HMC474MP86 / 474MP86E v01.0906 DRIVER & GAIN BLOCK AMPLIFIERS - SMT 9 SiGe HBT GAIN BLOCK MMIC AMPLIFIER, DC - 6 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC474MP86 & HMC474MP86E is an ideal RF/IF gain block for: Gain: 15.5 dB • Cellular / PCS / 3G Output IP3: +22 dBm • Fixed Wireless & WLAN Cascadable 50 Ohm I/Os • CATV, Cable Modem & DBS Single Supply: +3V to +10V • Microwave Radio & Test Equipment Included in the HMC-DK001 Designer’s Kit Functional Diagram General Description P1dB Output Power: +8 dBm The HMC474MP86 & HMC474MP86E are general purpose SiGe Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Gain Block MMIC SMT amplifiers covering DC to 6 GHz. This Micro-P packaged amplifier can be used as a cascadable 50 Ohm RF/IF gain stage with up to +10 dBm output power. The HMC474MP86(E) offer 15.5 dB of gain with a +22 dBm output IP3 at 850 MHz while requiring only 25 mA from a single positive supply. The Darlington feedback pair used results in reduced sensitivity to normal process variations and excellent gain stability over temperature while requiring a minimal number of external bias components.
