General Description
The HMC637LP5(E) is a GaAs MMIC MESFET
Distributed Power Amplifier which operates between DC and 6 GHz. The amplifier provides 13 dB
of gain, +40 dBm output IP3 and +29 dBm of output
power at 1 dB gain compression while requiring 400
mA from a +12V supply. Gain flatness is excellent at
±0.75 dB from DC - 6 GHz making the HMC637LP5(E)
ideal for EW, ECM, Radar and test equipment
applications. The HMC637LP5(E) amplifier I/Os
are internally matched to 50 Ohms and the 5x5 mm
QFN package is compatible with high volume SMT
assembly equipment.

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 package bottom 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 board should be mounted
to an appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit
board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
