HMC593LP3 / 593LP3E v03.0309 LOW NOISE AMPLIFIERS - SMT 8 GaAs PHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER w/ BYPASS MODE, 3.3 - 3.8 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC593LP3(E) is ideal for: Noise Figure: 1.2 dB • Wireless Infrastructure Output IP3: +29 dBm • Fixed Wireless Gain: 19 dB • WiMAX WiBro / 4G Low Loss LNA Bypass Path • Tower Mounted Amplifiers Single Supply: +3V or +5V 50 Ohm Matched Output Functional Diagram General Description The HMC593LP3(E) is a versatile, high dynamic range GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifier that integrates a low loss LNA bypass mode on the IC. The amplifier is ideal for WiBro & WiMAX receivers operating between 3.3 and 3.8 GHz and provides 1.2 dB noise figure, 19 dB of gain and +29 dBm IP3 from a single supply of +5V @ 40mA. Input and output return losses are 23 and 13 dB respectively with no external matching components required. A single control line (0/Vdd) is used to switch between LNA mode and a low 2 dB loss bypass mode reducing the current consumption to 10 μA.
